That Prince von Bismarck wanted money for war, whereas Chancellor Brianing must have it to pay the allies, greatly alters the situation, does not alter the principle that last week the German people were placed under a regime of "taxation without representation."

I chiefly refer to three of your late issues, which I have present, those of Nov. 25, 1929, April 28 and May 5, 1930, filled with fantasticalities, all tried later by facts. For instance, you say (April 28, p. 22) that King...
...Commission investigates differences in the cost of producing a commodity here and abroad, lays its factual findings before the President who thereupon is free to flex the rate up or down any amount he chooses within the limit of 50% of the written law.
