It notes the curious fact that x\ . is only in late spring and summer that, American students of economic prob?/ lems 'find it profitable to. pursue their. investigations in England, Francejj Switzerland, and Scandinavia. On th^ other hand, in midwinter there is not place Ike Cuba or Mexico for a conscientious inquiry into relations be? tween capital and industry. Happily Swiss industrial problems never reach;; a crisis in December or Cuban in JulyJSweden has few lessons in housing t6; teach the United States after Labour| Day, and nothing of any significance occurs in Haiti between March anff Christmas.
