...last speech, called "incidentally a man of extraordinary tact." Dr. Burckhardt's "tact" consists largely of a do-nothing silence. Unlike his predecessor, fiery Sean Lester of Eire, who barked long and hard about the Nazis' repeated violations of Danzig's Constitution, Commissioner Burckhardt has uttered public words in Danzig only once and then subtly to quote from an inscription on a Danzig building: "The high things must be kept high and the low things low." His hearers could only guess at his allusions, but among the "low" things which took place in Danzig in violation...
...internal German inflation. Proponents of Nazi economic methods argue, however, that "inflation" is a word that has no meaning in relation to Nazi finance. The Nazis have, almost from the beginning, supplemented tax receipts by debt-creation" through forced loans.

From one of the sturdiest planks in George Washington's parting platform ("In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion be enlightened") the President dived overboard with his biggest splash for radio. Said...
...Mitchell's head finally got on the platter, neither President Bowman nor Dr. Mitchell had publicly explained by last week, when 150 bigwigs from the Hopkins faculty and Maryland's public life (including Johns Hopkins' famed Dr. Henry E. Sigerist, St. John's College's President Stringfellow Barr) gathered at a dinner to praise Dr. Mitchell, speak guardedly of "loss of tolerance" at the University. But to friends Broadus Mitchell explained privately: "The thing got to the pass where resignation was the only course. Bowman was too protesting about his tolerance-and then insulted...
