...only thing to change in Germany in eight months. Last week Major von Stephani called at Stahlhelm headquarters and bluntly told Col. Düsterberg that he was fired-not only from his post as second-in-command, but from the Stahlhelm itself. It was a move of vast import. Think of the American Legion in politics openly instead of covertly; think of it still drilling as a secret reserve of the U. S. Army. Such a body is the Stahlhelm. Founded by Franz Seldte, a retired soda-water manufacturer, the Stahlhelm's policies have always been a much...
...tariff policies of Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, President Roosevelt hopes to lead the world to economic peace by his tariff policy. The Agenda Commission in its report flayed attempts at national self-sufficiency ("all seek to sell but not to buy"), manifested in retaliatory tariffs, embargoes, import quotas, export subsidies, and exchange restrictions which "throttle business enterprise." First objective at London is a tariff truce against more rate uppings. After that, attempts will be made to weed out such quota restrictions as Austria puts on tires and shoes, Belgium on sugar and silk knit goods, Germany on lard...
...such optimism is probably quite unwarranted. Tariffs, quotas, duties of all sorts, are essentially the grant of monopoly privileges to national industries. While the reduction of import and export barriers might result in an increase in the general welfare, it would not be welcomed by the present protected concerns, since it means outside competition. As the depression has deepened, the struggle for internal markets has become sharper, and home corporations have demanded the right to what little business is left in the country. While this necessity remains in each nation, the possibility of tariff reductions is remote. The conclusion...
...house divided against itself into scores of increasingly high partitions. England, which has previously been the citadel of Free Trade, has surrendered the position and taken to building an Empire preference unit. And the disease is as cumulative a one as the matter of armaments. If France raises her import or export duties, the other countries feel compelled to follow suit. Faced by such absurd but deliberate attempts to destroy all the advantages of the division of labor, it would seem to many that the nations would realize their folly and put an end to it. One might think that...
...University should take the steps necessary to facilitate their worship. If the city of Cambridge relaxes its standards in the mild manner required, it is merely another argument for the stabling of the German goat in the dining halls; if not, permission should be given to the students to import freely. Some have expressed the fear that undue and public hilarity might result from the suggested step; this outcome is impossible in the sons of pre-prohibition Harvard men. The throats of the nation are gaping; they must not close in Cambridge...
