The article focuses on world politics. German dictator Adolf Hitler last week opened the House of German Art in Munich, with its exhibition of 850 "objets d'art," all Nazi. The world could rest assured, he said, that lunacy in art had come to an end. These expositions are a device of the dictatorship that has been little discussed outside of Germany. The exposition or fair has been converted from its ordinary use as a means of stimulating business into a large-scale political weapon. By all the arts of display, Herr Goebbels attempts to sell Nazi Germany to its population.
