...methods and intentions of the Nazis are no secret. Year ago Herman Rauschning (The Revolution of Nihilism) reported among other Nazi in tentions since acted on by Hitler that "In the National Socialist [Nazi] view, the political situation in America is unstable, and can be developed into an outright revolution; to do this is both a tactical aim ... to hold America aloof from Eu rope, and a political one ... to bring North and South America into the new order." And Dr. Rauschning quotes Nazi Propagandist Goebbels' boast: "Nothing will be easier than to produce a bloody revolution in North...
...another eight points went the Dow-Jones average of 30 industrials to 114.75. Volume of stocks dumped totaled 10,370,000 shares, against over 17,000,000 shares moved during panic week 1 (TIME, May 27). One reason why the panic slowed down: most shoestring margin accounts, many small, outright holders, were already sold out. Furthermore, bargain hunters held off in the hope that stocks like Bethlehem Steel might soon be given away closer to 40 (when the $3.75 it has paid in the last twelve months would promise a 9.4% return) than to last week's closing price...

Then, from 1922 to 1928, while the Government slowly sold its wartime fleet, the U. S. built not one vessel for the transoceanic trade. Four years ago the Roosevelt Administration hatched the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, an outright subsidy to shipowners. For them, the Maritime Commission began a shipbuilding program which swung into full stride last year. So far 46 vessels have been launched, 37 put into service. Besides the 118 now on order, contracts for 358 others will be let in the next five years...
Furthermore, the Allies will pay some manufacturers the cost of expanding their plants. To two of the big three military engine builders, Wright Aeronautical and United Aircraft (Pratt & Whitney engines) already has gone some $5,000,000 in French money, an outright grant for building new plant capacity. Last week close-mouthed Arthur Purvis announced that more plant money was going to the engine builders, not only Wright Aeronautical and Pratt & Whitney but General Motors' Allison division. With such help, production of the big (and only) three highpowered engine builders should by year's end hit an annual...
