After suitable apprenticeship he must wander about Germany, carpentering, for three years. As a full-fledged member of the Journeymen's Guild, the proud young Hamburger wears a broad, black hat, extra wide black trousers, and heavy gold earrings. He may even go to Berlin, once in five years, for a jolly convention, and there get into trouble-as a great many Hamburger Guildsmen did last week.

...minorities a just and lawful share in government, whereas they have been exploited and oppressed. Third to debureaucratize and decentralize the Government, granting more authority to provinces and municipalities. Fourth, to reform the notoriously corrupt and unscrupulous Police, Gendarmerie and Secret Service. Fifth, to reconstruct the nation economically, providing broad measures of agricultural and industrial assistance. Sixth, to reverse the Bratiano policy of shutting out foreign capital, and rather welcome "peaceful penetration" of Rumania under appropriate and lenient restrictions...
