  • Five Years of Prohibition and Its Results, North American Review
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Destruction of an illegal still, Miami, Florida, 1925 Anti-Prohibition campaign, Wilmington, Delaware, ca. 1930 Florida State Archives Hagley Museum __Should Prohibition Be Repealed?__ “Five Years of Prohibition and Its Results,” The North American Review June-July-August 1925 & September-October-November 1925 EXCERPTS * After decades of vehement debate, the “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition commenced on January 17, 1920, one year after the Eight- eenth Amendment had been ratified by the states. The debate did not end at that point, of course; it switched to the issues of efficacy, unforeseen consequences, popular support, and repeal. In 1925 the North American Review invited essays on Prohibition—its success or failure—from leaders in the law, government, public health, business and labor, education, and the church. Excerpts from the twenty-one essays are presented here; the pro-repeal arguments appearing first, as they were in the Review. What factors were central in the debate five years into Prohibition? What later factors entered the debate, especially in the 1928 presidential campaign? [Images added.] Samuel H. Church was president of the Carnegie Institute. “‘the greatest mistake in the world’” His essay was titled “The Paradise of the Ostrich.” Finding myself seated one night at dinner beside a United States Judge who possesses one of the greatest judicial minds that our country has produced in this generation, I asked him what he thought of Prohibition. “Regardless of what your feelings may be concerning the use of liquor,” he replied,” the American people made the greatest mistake in the world when they inserted the statute itself in the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

  • The Automobile in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y IN OMMENTARY HE WENTIES* T T C Indiana Historical Society traffic safety poster, ca. 1925 — THE AUTOMOBILE — “Why on earth do you need to study what’s changing this country?” exclaimed an Indiana resident during an interview in 1929. “I can tell you what’s happening in just four letters: A-U-T-O!” What more was there to say? Plenty, it seemed, as the media of the day were filled with commentary on the a-u-t-o and where it was taking America at breakneck speed. Darrow was the famous defense attorney in the Scopes Trial, the Leopold-Loeb murder trial, and Clarence Darrow other headline-dominating cases of the 1920s. In his memoir he mused on a range of social issues. The Story of My Life The day of the horse is gone. The automobile has driven him from the 1932 roads. The boys and men and women of this generation must have automobiles. Those who manufacture them and sell them have made fortunes unknown in any former age. Every automobile costs more to sell than to make. No one can even guess at the cost of this new invention to the country or the change that it has brought to life. New roads have been built at great expense so men may ride quickly to some point so they can ride back more quickly if possible. Finance companies have helped the poor to get further into debt; an automobile complex demanding haste, change, and going and coming, has taken possession of mankind.

  • Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic 1 Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic
    Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic 1 Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic The hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic was a three-year period of hyperinflation in Germany (the Weimar Republic) between June 1921 and July 1924. Analysis The hyperinflation episode in the Weimar Republic in the 1920s was not the first hyperinflation, nor was it the only one in early 1920s Europe or even the most extreme inflation in history (the Hungarian pengő and Zimbabwean dollar have both been more inflated). However, as the most prominent case following the emergence of economics as a scholarly discipline, it drew interest in a way that previous instances had not. Many of the dramatic and unusual economic behaviors now associated with hyperinflation were first documented systematically in Germany: order-of-magnitude increases Weimar Republic hyperinflation from one to one in prices and interest rates, redenomination of the currency, consumer trillion paper Marks per gold Mark flight from cash to hard assets, and the rapid expansion of industries that produced those assets. German monetary economics was then highly influenced by Chartalism and the German Historical School, and this conditioned the way the hyperinflation was then usually analyzed.[1] John Maynard Keynes described the situation in The Economic Consequences of the Peace: "The inflationism of the currency systems of Europe has proceeded to extraordinary lengths. The various belligerent Governments, unable, or too timid or too short-sighted to A 50,000,000 (50 million) mark banknote from secure from loans or taxes the resources they required, have printed 1923 notes for the balance." It was during this period of hyperinflation that French and British economic experts began to claim that Germany destroyed its economy with the purpose of avoiding reparations, but both governments had conflicting views on how to handle the situation.
