...specifying "Christians" (variants: "Gentiles,""Anglo-Saxons") are more frequent than at any time since the War. Rare in the boom years of 1917-18 and 1928, they were more than twice as frequent in the 1932 depression as in the 1921 depression. In 1934, after Hitler's rise, they "occurred at the amazingly high rate of once in every column inch of advertising matter-five times as frequent as in 1932."

For, whereas prices of farm products and raw materials (output of which cannot be easily controlled) break on slight excuse, prices of manufactured products (output of which is more or less controllable) are firmly established...
First the railroads asked for a 15% freight-rate rise. ICC said 5.3% was enough. Then they asked for a 15% wage cut. Franklin Roosevelt's Railway Fact-Finding Board said No. This left the railroads, stretched between the engine of rising costs and the caboose of lagging traffic, with no recourse but legislative aid.
