...virtually mortgaged the control to certain Dutch banks. Last week Patriot Flick sold his remaining interest to the Fatherland for "much less" than the French have been offering, received a mere 100 million marks ($23,820,000). The Dutch end of the deal was quietly arranged. For good or evil, Chancellor von Papen must go down in history as the man who while absent in Switzerland brought under German Government control last week more than two-fifths of the Fatherland's production of pig iron and rolled steel and nearly one-sixth of its coal and iron ore mining industry...

We are asked to discard our reasoning faculties and buy a certain mattress because a certain society leader allowed one to be photographed in her house; to buy a certain cigarette because a movie actress finds its advertisements a convenient vehicle...
...popular view when he declared: "Nothing so ominous or so nasty as the Bonus march has been seen since 1916 when organized labor forced through the eight-hour-day railroad law under threat of strike.
