...Teuton sensibilities "German Reparations" were rechristened "International Settlements" when the (Owen D.) Young Plan superseded the (Charles Gates) Dawes Plan (TIME, June...
Last week these words came from one time Alien Property Custodian Francis Patrick Garvan who mortally fears and hates all things Teuton. Accusing the largest U. S. bank of fraud, he was demanding an inquiry into the flotation last April of $30,000,000 of 5½% convertible debentures of the American I. G. Chemical Corp. by National City Co. Its advertisement of the bonds, he said, intended "to deceive the American public into the belief that the proceeds of these bonds were to be used to foster and finance the development of chemical and allied industries...
Another act of Custodian Garvan was to sell the confiscated Bosch Magneto Co. For this he was charged with defrauding the government of $5,500,000 but the case was dismissed last fortnight. From these things he probably conceived his great hate of the Teuton shadow. Last week he accused Senator Moses, former State Attorney General Merton E.

...right to insist that the structure shall remain as I built it!" Architect Warren planned to top the library with a heavy balustrade of floral pillars so shaped and intertwined as to spell out suggestively rather than distinctly the inscription: Furore Teutonico Diruta; Dono Americano Restituta ("Destroyed by Teuton Fury; Restored by American Gift"). He has always claimed that this inscription was written and entrusted to him by Belgium's late famed hero-prelate, Desiré Cardinal Mercier. To alter the wording by so much as one letter would, he said, not only outrage his artistic conscience by spoiling...
