At least some of the funda-
mental causes of war have always
been the same. One aspect of this
perennial problem is the relative
value of force and friendship.
Why have the great empires of
the past been vulnerable? The an-
swer was strikingly expressed
when ancient Greece was in its
glory, in the following sentence
taken from an oration by Thucyd-
ides quoted by Pericles: "Your em-
pire is bated on your own strength
rather than on the good will of
your enemies."

orator of the occasion.
The Nazi Government has found-

organization called "Die Treue

THREE YEARS OF BOYCOTT

THE GREEKS HAD

CONCLUDED FROM EDITORIAL PAGE

placement of German goods has
been a boon to the industries of
the United States, Czechoslovakia,
Great Britain and France. Many
articles previously imported from
Germany are now being bought
elsewhere and these former mar-
kets are now lost to Germany for-
ever.
The success of the boycott in the
economic sphere led to its exten-
sion to other fields. The agitation
to move the 1936 Olympic Games
from Berlin was a direct outgrowth
of the boycott. The American and
foreign universities that have re-
jected invitations to participate in
the 550th anniversary of the found-
ing of Heidelberg University drew
their insipiration from the boycott.
Wilhelm Furtwaengler's withdraw.
al from his appointment as mu-
sical director of the New York
l'hilharmonic Symphony Society
was directly attributable to a
threatened boycott of the society's
concerts. The growing support for
the imposition of economic sanc-
tions on an aggressor nation is
also traceable to the anti-Nazi boy-
cott, which is a private economic
sanction. In short, the boycott
against Germany has proven Itself
a potent weapon despite its unof-
ficial status and comparatively
limited force. It has enlisted the
backing of the churches, organized
labor and anti-F a s c i s t forces
everywhere. Today the economic
boycott against Germany is a force
to be reckoned with.
Independent Boycotting
But there are those who will
say that if all the boycotting has
not unseated the Hitler regime
after three years then the boycott
has been futile. Those who hold
this opinion may be justified only
if they expected the boycott to
work miracles. The sponsors and
organizers of the boycott, even the
most optimistic among them, never
made any such claims for it. They
only maintained that ultimately
the boycott would prove the most
effective peaceful weapon for over-
throwing Ilitlerism. That it has
not yet achieved this goal is not
the fault of the boycott as such.
In reviewing the history of the
anti-Nazi boycott several things
must be pointed out. In the first
place there is still far too much
independent boycott activity. At
this time there are two major or-
ganizations engaged in prosecuting
the boycott. In most instances
their work is overlapping and du-
plicative. Much of their effort is
expended in raising funds to pro-
secute the boycott instead of in
actual boycott work. The leaders
of these organizations have per-
mitted organizational jealousies
and personal rivalries to jeopar-
dize the effectiveness of the boy-
cott. It is also a fact that despite
the amazing achievements to its
credit the boycott has been con-
ducted on a hit or miss basis. To
make the boycott ironclad it must
be organized along business-like
lines with the help of trained eco-
nomists and business men. Too
many of those engaged in boycott
work are not equipped for this
type of activity, which involves
millions of dollars' worth of mer-
chandise. To realize the full possi-
bilities of the boycott the advice
and experience of qualified leaders
in shipping, importing, merchan-
dising and other fields of trade and
commerce must be enlisted.
Two other factors require con-
sideration. There are many eco-
nomists who believe that too much
stress has been laid on the con-
sumer boycott—the boycott of such
articles as thumb tacks, needles,
toys, hardware, gloves after they
reach the retail merchant. At the
outset this phase of the boycott
was of the utmost importance; but
today it is secondary. Consumer
resistance to German goods is a
fact and all retail outlets recognize
this. But in the heavy goods, such
as machinery, chemicals, finished
products, tools, etc., which consti-
tute about three-fourths of Amer-
ican imports from Germany, com-
paratively little progress has been
made. It is in this field that much
remains to be done in boycott ac-
tivity. Equally important is the
continued emphasis of measures to
prevent German exporters from
imposing on the buying public.

Some progress has been made in
simplifying and clarifying mark-
ings on imported goods. In New
York there is a law making it a
penal offense to efface or remove
markings indicating the origin of
foreign goods. Emphasis ought to
be laid in future boycott work on
efforts to follow up every instance
of fraudulent marking and on pre-
venting German dumping in viola-
tion of existing tariff laws. These
practices not only circumvent the
boycott but also do great damage
to American industry. Equally im-
portant is the continued expension
of the boycott into new fields. The
Latin-American countries, the Bal-
kans, Australia and the East In-
dies have ben almost untouched by
the boycott. In these parts of the
world there is fertile field for boy-
cott activity.
The boycott is contemporaneous
with the Nazi regime. Both are
now in their fourth year. That the
boycott has been effective in cur-
tailing German exports and there-
by impairing the economic stabili-
ty of the Hitler government no one
will deny. It ought to be the busi-
ness of all who regard the Nazi
regime as a menace to the peace
of the world and a threat to civili-
zation to intensify the boycott on
every front, to the end that the
fourth anniversary of the boycott
may coincide with the overthrow
of the regime that brought the
boycott into being.

William Anderson, managing
editor of the News Letter and
Wasp published in San Francisco,
is the author of an article in the
March 14 issue of his weekly in
which he disproves the claim that
has been made for Hjalmar
Schacht that he is the more mod-
erate of all the Nazi leaders.
Writing under the title "Hitler
and Schacht—Two Sodden Souls"
Mr. Anderson states:

The German people themselves do
