In this article, the editor discusses the matter related to economics and politics. After enough shooting, gassing, and casualties to equip a small Latin American palace revolution, the California National Guard unlocked the Golden Gate, and the shipping traffic, paralyzed for two months, is moving again under police and military protection. But the battle is not over. The marine workers are still out and fourteen unions, including the teamsters, have threatened to declare a general strike. As the smoke from Nazi rifles begins to lift from the scene of tragedy, it becomes possible to obtain a clearer view of the background and significance of the recent sanguinary events in the Reich. While it is still difficult either to verify or disprove the existence of an organized anti-Hitler conspiracy within the ranks of the Storm Troopers, there is abundant evidence of disaffection and a fundamental clash of interests which made a showdown inescapable.
