Effect. War being what it is, War II's propaganda emphasizing isolated horrors seemed likely to undershoot the mark. The generation of 1914 had little comprehension of war's atrociousness. It was consequently more receptive to "atrocity" tales than the generation of 1939, shocked by one war after another during the 20-year "peace," could possibly...
...president, George Norlin, argued long and earnestly with a friend in Denver, a 38-year-old corporation lawyer named Robert Lawrence Stearns.

The new German-Russian agreement ends hope of the U. S. regaining its lost German markets for cotton and foodstuffs, may mean that U. S. trade will be squeezed out of Central Europe altogether. Germany's new economic tie-up with Russia might enable her to reduce her 1938 purchases here ($107,588,000, down from an average of $400,364,000 in 1926-30) to zero. Perhaps...
