...citizens and their goods are concerned. U. S. consular officials in Germany inclined to believe last week that the revolving fund will be used not so much to dump in the U. S. as in countries with which the Fatherland has clearing agreements. According to the plausible secretariat of smart Dr. Schacht, nothing is farther from his high mind than dumping. He merely hopes to equalize the difference between the value of the German mark, which is relatively high because the mark has not been devalued, and the value of other currencies like the yen, pound and dollar, which have...
...Manchus and in the Abdication Agreements, there was a complete recognition of the independent status of Manchuria. Furthermore, even if this analysis is not acceptable, Mr. Rea contends that the military despotism of the War Lords at Nanking furnished a satisfactory justification for a revolutionary separation from the fatherland. In short, Manchuria was exercising the rights of any downtrodden nation in seeking the aid of Japan to defeat the forces of Chiang-Kai-shek...

They are losing ground because they satisfy only 40% of the readers' curiosity instead...
When jottings such as these were found last June on Mr. Roiderer, then teaching English in Munich, the fact that he is a naturalized U. S. citizen did not prevent his being clapped into a Munich jail, charged with "high treason" to the Fatherland. Efforts by the U. S. Consul General to have access to Roiderer were met with frog-faced assertions that the German Ministry of Justice itself did not know where he was. Realmleader Hitler has set above the German Supreme Court his own death-dealing Volksgerricht, and occasionally someone's head gets chopped off before...
