Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

Charges of a most serious nature have been brought against the Reichsbank by Professor Hjalmar Schacht, who was its president for six years. Addressing the Nationalist mass-meeting at Bad Harzburg, he accused the present management of having falsified its reports. German Dictator Adolf Hitler is again very much to the front in Germany. At the moment of writing, with the Reichstag about to reconvene after a half year's recess, it is doubtful to many whether the Bruining Cabinet can survive another attack from the combined opposition. Steadily, the movement for disarmament grows. The Pope in an entirely unexpected encyclical has denounced "the unbridled race of armaments" as in large degree responsible for the present misery of the world.
