Abstract

Germany Nears the Crisis
Villard, Oswald Garrison | December 3, 1930 issue

The article focuses on the unemployment crisis, to be faced by Germany. While the government fights for its existence, it cannot wholly avoid blame for at least part of the misery to be found in Germany. Within the past year the tariff on wheat has been increased fourfold. Everywhere the protective-tariff mania gains ground, even among the trade unions. The more the situation calls for an unfettered trade, the louder are the demands, as in England, for greater protection. The great land barons, although they are protected by tariffs twice as high as those they had before the war, demand still higher tariffs.
