...German and Sudeten press gleefully asserted that by sending Lord Runciman Britain had "recognized" the Sudeten Germans. In Berlin, a prominent Nazi editor, with typical Aryan ineptitude, told to Associated Press (stipulating that he be not named), "No really sovereign state would accept an adviser such as Viscount Runciman. Can you imagine Switzerland, for instance, standing for such an adviser...
Aside from the stockmarket, official Nazi statistics showed last week that the shrinking foreign trade of Greater Germany has now reached a volume slightly less than the trade of Germany alone before Austria was absorbed. The comfortable surplus of Reich exports over imports last year has now become a deficit of some $40,000,000. If the future looked rosy even to Economic Four-Year-Plan Administrator General Hermann Wilhelm Göring, he would hardly have issued, as he did last week, a decree obliging everyone in Germany to turn over every last gold coin to the State...
...coordinating and bringing up to date ordinances dating in Austria back to 1897, in Germany back to 1868, did not make bullish reading for German investors.

Last spring, Austria's Nazification left the future of the Salzburg Festival in doubt. Maestro Toscanini, implacable foe of Naziism, immediately announced his resignation. Nazi racial policies ruled out Salzburg's two remaining luminaries. Conductor Bruno Walter and Stage Director Reinhardt.

Last week, as the first Nazi-sponsored Salzburg Festival opened, the extent of this difference became apparent. Cancellation of bookings from outside Greater Germany (including nearly 50% of those from England and the U. S.) converted the festival from an international tourist event into a dominantly German celebration. Places of absent foreign visitors were taken by droves of enthusiastic Nazis, including hundreds of members of Propaganda Minister Goebbels' "Strength through Joy" movement who had been granted specially reduced rates. The elaborate permanent stages formerly used for the Reinhardt Faust and Jedermann productions had been torn down, and the street...
