MAXWELL L~brarian,The Electric Storage Battery Company ACH city and each community presents its own problems, and reflects its individuality in the character of its institutions, in spite of the fact that we - E as a people -are becoming more and more standardized on the surface. Philadelphia, we feel, has a unique situation that is clearly brought out when a survey is made of the special library field. The nation's third largest city, with its wealth of tradition containing some of the best of America's background, has a great deal to offer in source material, and the atmosphere of solidity and conservatism, which is imparted by some of its institutions to the most modern esponents of its cultural and business life, is a characteristic that is typically Philadelphia's own. In these days of constantly changing values, with the discovery that much of our existing superstructure lacks a firm foundation, the continued maintenance of some of these old libraries on special subjects started with such high ideals so many years ago, has an added charm and is a real heritage of the modern city ~n which we now live. This past is utilized as shown by the fact that the business and industrial libraries depend greatly upon their material, and the institutional librarians with their realization of present-day needs of business, industry and professions, have cooper- ated in a very splendid manner with the "Special Libraries Council" since its in- ception in 1917 by making their treasures live, and representatives from all of Lhe libraries given below are in the Council. It is impossible to do justice to each of them, so a survey is the only thing we can give. For this, we have called on collab- orators to furnish the following material about the old ones as well as the new: SOME 0F THE BA CKGRO UND The LIBRARY COMPANY OF PI-IILA- toward cataloging the Americana and ult~mately DELPHIA (founded by Benjamin Franklin) and arranging it altogether in one room as a separate the KIDGWAY BRANCH OF THE LIBRARY collection.

Many of the German troops couldn’t believe it – they believed they were winning the war. The only explanation to many of these soldiers is that the Otto Frank (left) and his brother government had ‘stabbed them in the back.’ Robert (right) both fought for Germany in WW1 The loss of the war meant that Germany had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. One of the clauses in this treaty was that they accepted the blame for the war. Many people thought this was deeply unfair. Germany had no choice but to sign, leaving them to pay huge reparations— A protest about the Treaty of Versailles in Berlin in 1932. £6.6 BILLION. This bankrupted Germany, leading to hyperinflation (money becoming worthless), huge unemployment and starvation of people. More and more Germans began to believe the ‘Stab in the Back’ theory, which blamed the Jews for the loss in the war.

Although Germany did begin to recover in the 1920s with the help of the Dawes Plan (where America loaned Germany $45million and gave them longer to repay the war debt) many former soldiers especially still believed they’d been betrayed. In 1923 Adolf Hitler tried to overthrow the government in the Munich Putsch.

In earlier years, as the preceding chapter has shown, makeshift arrangements for intervention pre- vailed. Why the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created and how it performed in the period ending in 1961 are the subject of this chapter. After thriving in the prewar years from 1934 to 1939, little opportunity for intervention arose thereafter through the closing years of this period, so it is a natural dividing point in ESF history. The change in the fund’s operations occurred as a result of the Federal Reserve’s decision in 1962 to become its partner in oYcial intervention. A subsequent chapter takes up the evolution of the fund thereafter.
