From the Heart of Germany.

When one leaves Berlin, with its political demonstrations, its daily tides of overheated newspapers and its legions of glittering policemen murderously armed to the teeth and come here to Weimar, one goes into a sort of retirement. It is traditional that in this town of hallowed past the present world and its troubles should become unreal. When great change strikes thoughtful Germany it comes last to Weimar, where the fascination of the past is still most. Now it has come to Weimar; the fever of confusion and despair has left no locality untouched. Germany is surviving only on the basis of foreign capital; this can be withdrawn and the entire economic system wrecked in two weeks. There is no reliance to be placed on such an order. The structure of capitalism here is becoming, day by day, more wobbly.
