Inscribed by the author to award winning journalist and the Chilean ambassador to the United States (1927-1931) Carlos Dávila (with Dávila's middle initial written as "A" instead of "G" and crossed out): "To my esteemed friend Carlos Dávila, with my compliments and best wishes, Ferdinand Pecora. May 27th 1939." Pecora's account of the Senate investigation that he led as Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate's Committee on Banking and Currency in 1933, which looked into the Wall Street and stock brokerage practices leading up to the Wall Street Crash of 1929. A report of a 1933 hearing before this committee involves the investment bank Kuhn, Loeb, & Co. and its financial dealings with Chile during the time Dávila was serving as ambassador, with his name appearing in some of the exhibits presented to the committee. An interesting association that might deserve further research.
