WORLD CRISIS

A WAY OUT

By FREDERICK COPE, A.M.I.E.E.

Mr. Cope's striking articles on the world economic crisis which were recently published in the Hongkong Telegraph are now available in pamphlet form.

One of the features, repaying study, is the close similarity. between the plan of reform suggested by this local writer, and certain aspects of the Roosevelt recovery program.me. The author's ideas are naturally far toc advanced for active promotion at the present, time, but they are particularly interesting in view of the fact that President Roosevelt, in striking out on a path of his own, has travelled in the same direction.

The pamphlet is one of forty-four pages and c be obtained from the South China Morning Post at a cost of→→
