Fix Notes:


Page 17: par. 1: relations

It was then discovered, primarily by the ingenious Dr. Schacht, that there were advantages to be derived by an economically strong country when using bilateral trading methods in rela-lations with weaker countries.

Page 110: par. 2: launched

[...] of the “new” economic nationalism, has on other occasions lauched strong attacks, not against the principle of multilateral trade, [...]

Page 194: par. 1: population

From the viewpoint of world trade, the I. L. O. may render great services in checking on the extent to which industrial progress (in terms of increasing productivity) is translated in various countries into rising living standards of the populaton; in that way it may help to forestall the undesirable competition of cheap labor working with efficient means of production.

NOTE:

Page 237 and 274: There is a Section "1.". Every other chapter in the book does not have this initial subsection, and the first subsection is always numbered 2. I have removed this in the EPUB to make them all consistent.

Page 254 and Page 256 both have a Footnote 31. All Footnotes in Chapter 15 beyond this point have been bumped by one.
