Mayor Rogers: "To be frank about it, there wouldn't have been, even though we went through four consecutive years of drought...
...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 of the Constitution were the suppression by local Nazis of opposition parties and the imprisonment of Socialist, Catholic and Jewish (though not Polish) enemies. In fact, things got so "low" last January that Dr. Burckhardt, who was placed in virtual quarantine by the ruling Nazis, suddenly left, returned for only several days in March and then got the League's permission to leave more or less permanently. The League Committee...
...that Fascism is a reflex of the lean and bony ridges and sandy or sparse soil of Central Europe.

The available soil, even including the Bohemian and what could be seized in Poland, Hungary and Rumania, is not sufficient to produce both fodder crops for the cattle and breadstuffs, sugar beets, potatoes, vegetables, flax and hemp for the 152,300,000 population of a Middle European empire. Intensive grain cultivation operations are now being set up in East Prussia, but most...
