From the German point of view, President Roosevelt, in trade matters, is a shady coin-clipper who cheapened the value of the U. S. dollar and thus "unfairly" reduced U. S. export prices on the World market. In Washington's eyes, the German Economics Minister and Reichsbank President Dr. Hjalmar Schacht is also shady because he does not similarly and frankly reduce the value of all German marks but, instead, has created an intentionally bewildering list of different kinds of marks. Each has a separate value and all are manipulated to Germany's trade advantage by Schacht...

Much credit for the German success went to Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, President of the Reichsbank, who has just made a flying Balkan tour, booking orders for munitions against blocked marks (TIME, June...
Breathless in pace and implications was the swooping Balkan air tour last week of autocratic German Reichsbank President Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, whom closest friends call "Willy." In Vienna, Belgrade, Athens, Sofia and Budapest the Machiavellian doctor had fun insisting that he flew only to promote "economic peace." Just before he took off for Berlin, however, tactless Dr. Schacht could not resist blurting out what kind of economic peace he promotes. "Do creditor countries desire to renounce their claims against Germany?" he asked sharply. "If so they should say so, as Germany must either be allowed to earn...
