In fact, we have news by cable today of one ‘more.” Julius Klein, director partment's Foreign and Commerce Bureau, diss sed coffee situation at some length. He estimated that two-thirds of the world's coffee came from Brazil and (hat the ability to store this com- modity almost indefinitely afforded an opportunity for manipulation and widespread speculation.
