Everything Is Confidential.
What is being manufactured In the
factories only few people know. In
this authoritarian state everything Is
confidential-and confidential" Is not
q mere word to impress the outsider.
Most of the workshops-I should
say about 60 per cent of them-are
under guard. The workmen are not
soldiers, but are under military re-
gime, which forces them to keep
their mouths shut to any questions
an outsider may put to them. To
visit one of these factories Is a long
process which requires q number of
permits; then the visit is personally"
conducted. A modern army requires
many more things than the armies of
olden days. Industry-practically the
whole of industry-and the chemical
laboratories have to be drafted when
a nation is preparing for war. And
Hitler has drafted everybody and
everything the general staff has de-
manded.

through a period Of vocational train
ing similar to that of the youth who
expected to labor all his life, Cranor
declared, there would be less friction
about such things as social security,
wages, and working and living condi-
tions.
Cranor contended the existing edu-
cational system built up false stand
ards of social adjustment" Pupils, he
said, were taught to educate them
selves 80 they won't need to work
as hard as their fathers did,"
Work Organization.
There can be no complete social
adjustment without vocational train
ing" he added. Society is primarily
a work organization. Each individual
must earn his daily bread"
As advantages of a vocational train
ing course in which all students-rich
and poor-would be taught to work in
shops with tools, Cranor listed:
l. Greater respect for the worker.
2. Development of desire to work.
3. Impression of the principle that
men should be advanced according to
their training and ability.

Nation Is Goose-stepping.
It is no exaggeration to say that
The German nation Is stepping
at the present moment. Men, women,
boys and girls walk along the streets
OF Berlin just as if they were hearing
the military band. Walters in restau-
rants and beer halls click their heels
when they say thank you for the COM
pulsory tip you pay with your bill.
And girls in stores raise their hand in
. smart Hell Hitler"-some say just
"Hitler''-when you enter to make the
semi-compulsory purchases If you hap
pen to have tourist marks.
Tourist marks are the greatest
racket invented by that extremely
clever president of the Reichsbank
DR.. Schacht. You buy them outside
Germany at lower price than if you
change foreign currency in Germany.
But while you are allowed to bring
them into Germany, you are not al
lowed to take them out of the country
again. either in marks or in foreign
cslrrencies. And that is logical. There
would be no end Of speculation If the
law were not strictly enforced. But,
as most tourists in order to be on the
safe side buy more marks than they
really need, and since you are not
allowed to take out of the Reich more
than 10 silver marks in German cur
fency, the day before you leave the
German territory you are forced to go
TO shops and purchase all kind Of
nice but useless things in order to
comply with the law. The luxury in
dustry is kept rolling in this manner.
Food Growing Scare.
The Germans are Tightening their
belt every day. Food is not scarce,
but might become so almost any day;
It all depends on the political situa-

Kaiser Wilhelm used to do. Only
there are so many Kaisers at the

hardly can keep traffic open for the

makes up Its mind that it needs so

Taxes Not Too High.
The people don't know that they
are paying for it. The taxes in Ger
many are not as high as in France or
even In the United States. The big
industrialists are under the impression
that they are making money, al
though they know that eventually
they will have to give it back in the
shape of inheritance taxes or excess
profit taxes. But they are happy or
pretend to be so, because they are
being kept active and busy. And it
