Composer Goldmark is but one of many musicians to suffer from the anti-Semitism of Adolf Hitler. Conductor Bruno Walter (Schlesinger) has been forbidden to give concerts in Germany, gone to Holland to stay. Conductor Otto Klemperer was attacked and beaten by Nazis. Conductor Fritz Busch (no Jew, but a Socialist) was on the stand ready to conduct in Dresden one night last month when Nazi sympathizers raised such a disturbance that he had to hand his baton over to an assistant...

There are, indeed, certain dangers. If some banks open before others, those which open later may have to suffer runs. Of the three classes of banks, the solvent, the semi-solvent, and the bankrupt, it is the second class which is now threatened and which may be hard put to it by a series of runs on reopening.
