of Clarence Darrow was needed.

service to his guiding principle:
Il do not know anyone who
does not need mercy"
What parade of famous
cases, in the course of which
barrow saved more than 100
men from the chair or moose
the Steunenberg assassination,
in which Darrow won a reputa-
ton as the friend of labor: the
Mcnamara case in which ne
threw away that reputation and
sacrificed his career by pleading
the dynamiting brothers guilty;
his own trial as an alleged jury
fixer; the stream of poor clients
to whom he gave thousands of
dollars worth of legal services
for their thanks: the defense of
Leopold and Loeb ("even the
rich have rights'1; the Massie
case in Honolulu; the Scopes
monkey trial.
Dsrrow is dead only three
years. and Stone has had an
unusual opportunity to fill his
story with anecdotes and person
al recollections of the great
pleader from those who knew
him well He tells the whole
vivid saga of man whom only
America could have produced.
Too cynical to espouse causes"
Darrow poured out his talents
unstintingly for every cause of
freedom; too skeptical for
Christian belief. he yet showed
greater qualities of Christian
mercy than many believers; too
restless with his burning indig-
nation at oppression to spare
himself from the continual hec-
tic combat that wore him out,
Darrow is shown here biuntly
as a man with all the weak
nesses of the lesser men whom
his intellect would not quite per-
nit him TO love. Yet whom his
heart compelled him 10 pity.

the United States aluminium
companies weren't IN on the
original trust agreement IN 1881.
but the rest Of the world vas
taken in. including Canals. Great
Britain, France. and other prin-
cipal producers. In 1882 they
agreed to limit production TO so
per cent capacity. which amount
TO an actual cut Of about Is per
cent.
In 1884. Hitler began building
up the German army and air
force and he needed aluminium.
Through the German member Of
the cartel. the idea was put over
that while the German govern
ment didn't want to upset the
world trade restrictions of the
industry, it had to have more
aluminium. II was proposed that
Germany be allowed to produce
above the cartel requirements,
but solely for use in Germany
and not for export. Further
more. for every pound of alumni
mum produced in Germany above
the cartel quotas. the German
government would buy another
pound of aluminium from the
non-German members of cartel.
BY this slick trick. the Ger
man government secured the
rights to unlimited production IN
Germany. curtailed the produc-
ton in her potential enemy coun-
tries. and bought up the sur
pluses of those countries. The
net result was that If, from
1884 to 1889, France hadn't made
an aluminium pot, pan, vacuum
cleaner or automobile part. she
still could not have produced
enough aluminium for planes to
match the German rearmament
effort.
