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." leave of absence, will probably broadcast a baseball program. HITLERIUM Circulars issued by American police departments describe all criminals with short mustaches as having "a Hitler mustache", Der Fuehrer has an annual in- come of $267,000 a year. . This sum is derived from his chancel- lor's salary of 59,000 marks, div- idends of 189,000 marks from his newspapers and earnings of 420,- 000 marks from his writings. Corsets sold in Tel Aviv are of French inspiration but are said to be of German manufacture. FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE The portrait of President Roose- velt which Max Band of Paris did at the White House has been ac- quired by the City of Atlanta, where it will be unveiled by Am- bassador - Extraordinary Clark Howell in the presence of the painter and of Pierre van Pans- sen, who will come over to be the orator of the occasion. The Nazi Government has found- ed a paper in Zurich, Switzerland. The journal is called "Deutsch- land Ileute" . . . Its first issue stated that David Frankfurter, the Jewish medical student who killed Gustloff, was financed by a Jewish organization called "Die Treue Israeliten" . . . Weeklies on the model of Deutschland Heute are to be launched in France and in the U.S.A. under the title "Germany Today". The Spanish Government has refused the publication of such a paper in Spain. The French newspaper "Oeuvre" predicts a pogrom in Poland be- fore long. The Amsterdam "Tele- great" correspondent in Warsaw concurs. A hunchbacked Jew named Flink was covered with a tarpaulin in Dachau concentration camp and told to prepare for death but to sing the Horst Wessel hymn first He began to recite the "Schma Israel" and was shot to death. Pierre van Paassen, the noted journalist, is visiting Spain and the U.S.S.R. before coming to the United States next winter for a lecture-tour. He has just returned from Ethiopia and Palestine.

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. WINDOW SHADES Made to Order or Repaired 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 not Melia the Jews. They etylnpalhise with them and necretly help them.
