...before she completed it. The result is a volume that businessmen could value as a lucid, informative study of their pioneering ancestors. The dimensions of the book are extraordinary. The 28 chapters are subdivided into 209 sections, covering commercial cities from Carthage to Chicago, war makers from Crassus to Krupp, business failures from John Law to the Van Sweringens. There is a warmly-written, fact-laden essay on medieval Liibeck, centre of the Hanseatic League, sections devoted to business in Venice and Florence, to booms & crashes in Nurnberg, Antwerp, Bremen, the rise and fall of the Fuggers, the spectacular careers...

In it 7,000 men were employed during the War making artillery, today 3,500 fill it building locomotives. No women are allowed in the Krupp Works-not even the Duchess of Windsor...
With the respective cliques of General Goring, Propagandist Goebbels and Labor Front Leader Dr. Robert Ley all struggling for mastery of German economic and financial policy last week, Dr. Schacht himself went off to Essen and in this Krupp stronghold addressed a meeting of 400 directors of German savings banks.

...Games, Krupp Surprise. Leaving Munich in separate trains, Mussolini first, the Dictators traveled across Germany and around Berlin to watch war games in the Baltic Province of Mecklenburg, dashed about in snorting open cars, cheered loudly by downy-lipped German soldiers, boys of the 1935 class, the first called up by Hitler after he restored conscription. Having now done their two years' service, the class of 1935 was whooping with elation last week, just about to be sent home. They fought the sort of open, spectacular game cinema producers think is war. Cordial was Der Führer...
Enough of German Art and enough of fake war was what Benito Mussolini had had by this time. He wanted to inspect one of the most closely guarded set of secrets in Germany: the mighty Krupp munitions works at Essen. Only trouble with this was that, instead of speeding a few miles to Berlin as planned, the Dictators would have to travel clear across Germany again to Essen in the west, then cross it once more to Berlin. But what Mussolini wants Mussolini wants. To a microphone leaped German Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment Dr. Paul Josef Goebbels, broadcast...
