Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

This article presents information about political developments around the world as of January 16, 1929. A new dictatorship has arisen in Europe. King Alexander of Yugoslavia has dissolved the Skuptchina, abolished the constitution, and assumed supreme power over the destinies of the unhappy and disunited Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The Croatian demand for a changed constitution is being with a vengeance. Nobody knows more about German finances, not even Germany's own experts, than S. Parker Gilbert, Agent General for the Collection of Reparation Payments; and his recent report that the budget of the Reich is able to provide the full amount of the contributions provided for under the Dawes Plan is of remarkable significance.
