...long been a Nazi front ranker. Born in the Palatinate, he was Minister of Interior of Thuringia when most Nazis were discredited. He ran the State on such enthusiastically Nazi lines that the Republican Government of Chancellor Muller stopped a $60,000 a month subsidy to the Thuringian State police in an effort to get rid of the Palatinate, Thuringia, Bavaria and the rest of them...
Through twisty streets and between the high-gabled houses of quaint old Weimar, 74 national flags flapped last week on short staffs sprouting from the mudguards of statesmen's limousines. The nations of the world were doing homage in this small Thuringian city. Here in 1919 the Constitution of the present German Republic was adopted. And in Weimar 100 years ago last week died Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Not only a poet, this lusty, lyric German philosopher was also a resourceful statesman, ever at the elbow of Weimar's reigning Grand Duke...
Investigator Knickerbocker found 15,000,000 Germans on the dole, wrote touchingly of abject poverty in the Red quarter of Berlin in striking contrast to gay night life around the Kurfursten Damm. In the town of Falkenstein, Saxony, he found half the population on the dole; in Thuringian villages the spectre of starvation. In Essen there was the ever-present fear of a new French invasion of the Ruhr, overshadowing the threat of Communism. Every-where Hitler's power was rising. Nearly three-fourths of Heidelberg's students were Nazis. Germans, facing ruin, were almost unanimous in demanding...

...ended in a Socialist victory forcing out of office Dr. Wilhelm Frick, notorious for his outrageous Fascistizing of the Ministry of Interior of Thuringia. Not content with expelling Socialists from the police force and replacing them by Fascists, Dr. Frick flew to such extremes as his decree forcing Thuringian school children to pray every morning for abolition of the Young Plan and the Treaty of Versailles-two Fascist platform planks. That Dr. Frick was forced out last week marked a Hitler defeat, but a defeat which should remove from public notice a Fascist so rabid and reckless...
