...smart is Dr. Schacht that his resignation was no good omen for the future of the Third Reich. He played the game of the Second Reich (which preceded the Nazis) adroitly for years-the game of Dr. Gustav Stresemann, "The Spirit of Locarno" and the Young Plan. When Dr. Schacht thought that game was up he resigned as President of the Reichsbank and appeared in the news less frequently-suddenly was found to be sitting on Adolf Hitler's bandwagon as President of the Reichsbank again (TIME, March...
...that even this week it will scarcely get down to action. As the President sped homeward, however, Secretary of State Cordell Hull gave the entire world some authentic moments of exhilaration with a speech which made it seem that those popular peace men Aristide Briand and Gustav Stresemann lived again-also that the admirable Briand-Kellogg Peace Pact "Renouncing War as an Instrument of National Policy" had all its original freshness and bloom...
Above, the Locarno signatories. Both dead today, French & German Pollyannas M.

Since beauteous Widow Stresemann, once the "Queen Kathe" of swank Berlin night clubs, happens to be a Jewess, Admiral von Levetzow was congratulated last week on having winged two birds with one pellet...
...coming by a few intimations that what Europe needs is a return to "the Spirit of Locarno." Nine years ago at Locarno, Switzerland, gold pens squiggled in the hands of Benito Mussolini, Austen Chamberlain, and the late great peace men of France and Germany. Aristide Briand and Gustav Stresemann. Today the Locarno Treaty, still in full force, binds all the signatory powers to maintain unchanged the western frontier of Germany adjoining France and Belgium. The new scheme fathered by Comrade Litvinoff and M. Barthou is to fix the other frontiers of Germany by an Eastern Locarno. This scheme in embryonic...
