...interview given recently to a CRIMSON reporter Mr. K. I. C. L. Friedrich, who recently addressed the Liberal Club, spoke at some length on that interesting phase of post-war Germany, the "Gugenelbewegung" or the so-called "Youth Movement". Mr. Friedrich has some here from Germany at the invitation of Mr. John Rothschild and as the guest of the Student Forum, of New York. He is touring the country giving lectures on the various phases of the great "Youth Movement" that has recently swept over his country. Speaking of this movement Mr. Freiderich said...
...moving picture standards, at present, are very low. Everyone grants that; most excuse it on the grounds of war conditions and post-war hysteria. The "movies" have not returned to "normalcy". For the last three years, the average level of production has not been much higher than the earliest days, when a picture showing action, mere movements of a man walking, was novel enough to succeed. The pictures of today, most of them, are in story and development hardly more advanced than the early cowboy and Indian stories, where the only difference in plots all of a pattern, the prairie...
Well has it been said that "all Europe looks to America". This country has indeed proved a "happy hunting-ground" for post-War lecturers and visitors of every description. We have had visits from Margot Asquith, Lady Astor, distinct "personalities", not to mention Foch, Joffre, Diaz, and various other "mere men".

...fought as at the stricken field of Genoa, although in a minor key, are playing the decisive part in an amusing "comedy of errors" now going on in Paris over the site of the next Olympic games. The whole story is a striking reflection of a certain type of post-war French mentality. When the 1920 Olympiad was awarded to Antwerp, taking the place of Berlin, and the games were such a pronounced success. France bent every effort to secure the next award. She felt that she deserved it, as she deserved many other things in that epoch...
...York City must be made a "safe place to live in" and the daily press echoing with the announcement that in the last 98 days there have been 91 murders in the Metropolitan district, the so-called "Crime Wave" is with us again. Is it the effect of the post-war reaction, reflecting general world wide lawlessness as a result of renewed acquaintance with the automatic? Are there laws enough at present against crime, or is the present machinery adequate to enforce them? Does the flaring publicity attendant on each daring hold-up serve to keep crime in check...
