He believed that the "slump talk" at the present time was due to falls on Wall Street, which were very different from those of 1920; beside, this time they were largely political, due to some ex- tent to differences between Wall Street and the, American Adminis- tration which were no concern of others, and to some extent to the fear, perhaps exaggerated, of In- ternational complications.

Although a typhoon in the China Seas rarely travels at more than 24-m.p.h.. the winds within its vortex may exceed 100 m.p.h, and. exert a pressure of 40 per square foot. This means that a small vessel, only 200 feet long is submitted to bufets equivalent to 80 tons from the wind alone!
