...program of these horsemen had been dictated more by sense than emotion, such a reactionary attitude would never have been adopted. It should have been obvious even to Colonel Hadley that only "subversive influences" can preserve the class system which he so esteems. Only by taking some of the wind from the Red sails can the present economic structure be patched up sufficiently to weather this storm and the ones to follow. A refusal to listen to "Socialistic Ideas," and an active suppression of Communist agents and sympathizers may rob capitalism of the lingering delight...
Reaction. The most obvious reaction to all this was on the Berlin Stock Exchange. For four weeks in happy anticipation of a Nazi New Deal, the Berlin Bourse had boomed. Fortnight ago brokers announced that many issues were selling 300% above their crisis lows. Last week it crashed. Stocks dropped 20 to 30 points. There were moments of panic selling.

That Germany's government now rests upon the Function of the governed is in great measure the result of our own insistence. That such a government reacts to the sharp disadvantage of unorganized minorities, or is, in other words; the domination of the majority...
...grow, like a fungus, unseen till it burst forth in all its prime and splendor. But whether this is true, or whether some other line of attack is better, it seems certain that the end cannot be attained by Bulletins and the like. They are an approach far too obvious for the modern taste; they consume valuable time, and are close to uselessness...
