Amid these difficulties, candidate-picking began. First in the field against Old Paul was Communist Ernst Thalmann, whom the late New York World used to call "Germany's Red Napoleon." His worst enemies, the German Fascists, conceded last week that leather-lunged Comrade Thalmann, once a Hamburg stevedore and later a sailor, would get at least 6,000,000 votes. Some 38,000,000 ballots will be cast...

Therefore they have armed the Federal Reserve with a new club so enormous as to batter down the worst popular fears. This club consists of an authorization to issue a potential $2.500,000,000 in new currency. Possibly the club may never be taken from the shelf for actual swinging; possibly banks can be stabilized without a new currency issue. If not, the Federal Reserve would be in a position...
