"BERLE WARNS TRADE BOOM IS TEMPORARYAfter War, Need for Economic Revision Remains, He says"
"In the first address by an Administration spokesman here since the outbreak of war in Europe, AA Berle Jr., Assistant Secretary of State, declared last night that any war boom was only a temporary interruption of the more pressing problem of how our economic structure was to be reorganized to care for the large groups for whom private initiative is unable to provide. He warned therefore that business must not relax its search for the most effective method of meeting that problem...
"Nearly all industry, he said, depended for its existence on some form of privilege granted by government, such as tariffs, government subsidy, government buying, territorial monopoly and sales to companies enjoying such privileges..."
That's what's so infuriating about the FDR administration. Those folks really were a bunch of socialists, with no clues on how to make a strong economy. Indeed, for them a "strong economy" was the enemy, only tolerable during times of national emergency.
Did you ever wonder where our current Nobama administration gets its marching orders? Look no further. It's right here.
NAZIS HINT 'PURGE' OF JEWS IN POLAND'Special Report' From Invaded Region Discusses Possible Solution of Problem
GROUP EUROPE'S LARGEST
3,000,000 Population Involved -- 'Removal' From Europe Viewed as Benefit
Berlin, Sept 12 -- "First intimations that a "solution of the Jewish problem" in Poland is on the German-Polish agenda are revealed in a "special report" of the official German News Bureau..."
We should note here, the Nazis attempted a number of interim "solutions to the Jewish problem," before settling, in 1941 on the "Final Solution."
At this particular point, September 1939, most historians suggest it was the Polish leadership -- political, military, intellectuals, Catholic clergy, etc. -- which suffered the most.
"NAZI AIR DEFENSES CALLED 'APPALLING'British Report Leaflet Raids Show Weakness of Detectors, Searchlights and Batteries
APPROACH NOT REGISTERRED
Defenders Did Not Become Active Until Pamphlets Had Fluttered to Ground"
LONDON, Sept 12 (UPI) -- Aviation experts asserted today that Roytal Air Force leaflet raids over Germany had given the greatest satisfaction to the highest British circles because they indicated most strongly that Germany's ground defenses, such as detectors, searchlights and aircraft batteries, were at present "appalling."
You just gotta wonder -- what in the world planet were those people living on? Maybe they could be even more helpful to the Germans -- send them plans for radar or something?
Got a Mr. Frank on line 1 who wants to know more about the “gay social events” in the St. George Hotel ad.
I feel so ignorant. I am so livid I am nearly speechless.
That the New York Times used the word, not even in quotes, EXTERMINATION, referring to a group of people (the Polish Jews) is unforgivable.
The New York Times then goes on to report as truth that the Jews were looting and so deserved the punishment of death. I shouldn’t be so shocked. The Times is about as serious in reporting the truth today.
I did not know how much Nazi vocabulary had been accepted by the Americans of the time. My great-grandparents each had, thanks to the attention to detail of their captors, Extermination Dates (Vernichtungsdaten). I am still gasping that the New York Times used such verbiage.
Interesting that 70 years ago to the day Germany started confiscating tires and we put an embargo on tires (trade war headline) yesterday.
