  • 7. German Preparation for Aggression PREPARATION FOR
    THE ORGANISATION OF COLLECTIVE SELF-DEFENCE 23 7. German preparation for aggression PREPARATION FOR AGGRESSION: 1933-1936 (...) Renunciation of Armament Provisions of Versailles Treaty. 21 May 1935 was a very important date in the Nazi calendar. It was on that date that the Nazis passed the secret Reich Defense Law (2261-PS). The secrecy of their armament operations had already reached the point beyond which they could no longer maintain successful camouflage. Since their program called for still further expansion, they unilaterally renounced the armament provisions of the Versailles Treaty on the same date, 21 May 1935. Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag on that day (2288-PS) was published in “Voelkischer Beobachter” under the heading “The Fuehrer Notifies the World of the Way to Real Peace.” Hitler declared: “1. The German Reich Government refuses to adhere to the Geneva Resolution of 17 May. The Treaty of Versailles was not broken by Germany unilaterally, but the well-known paragraphs of the dictate of Versailles were violated, and consequently invalidated, by those powers who could not make up their minds to follow t he disarmament requested of Germany with their own disarmament as agreed upon by Treaty. 2. Because the other powers did not live up to their obligations under the disarmament program, the Government of the German Reich no longer considers itself bound to those articles, which are nothing but a discrimination against the German nation for an unlimited period of time, since, through them, Germany is being nailed down in a unilateral manner contrary to the spirit of the agreement.” (...) At this point, on 14 October 1933, Germany withdrew from the International Disarmament Conference and from the League of Nations.

  • The 1930S: a New Curriculum and Coeducation, by Mary Hull Mohr
    The 1930s: A New Curriculum and Coeducation, by Mary Hull Mohr Two of Luther’s most transformative changes came in the early 1930s: the ending of the classical curriculum and the beginning of coeducation. Both decisions were in part driven by financial concerns. The enrollment of the college dropped from 345 in 1930-31 to 283 students in the 1931-32 school year, and the college had significant debt. President Olson had strongly supported the classical curriculum, but in the face of financial pressures and student and constituency challenges, he affirmed the faculty’s vote to adopt new curricular requirements starting in September of 1931. Christianity retained its 14 hour requirement, but students were no longer required to take Greek, Latin, German, Norwegian, history, and mathematics. A two- year requirement in the language of the student’s choice remained (one year if the student had taken two years in high school). History was folded into a social science requirement and mathematics into a science and math requirement. Since majors, minors, and electives were already options, Luther had finally adopted the pattern common in most of the colleges and universities in the United States. The day after the adoption of the new curriculum by the faculty, President Olson announced that he was advocating coeducation. A staunch supporter of Luther as a college for men, Olson must have believed that the financial crisis would be alleviated by the admission of women. Not everyone agreed. Some believed coeducation would require additional resources: new courses for women, female faculty, housing needs. And, indeed, it did.

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Bl-Monthly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bl-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIII Denver, Colorado, May, 1936 No. 3 History of the Tabor Opera House at Leadville DOROTHY M. DEGITZ* It was the evening of November 20, 1879. Crowds which all day had formed in groups along Harrison A venue to discuss the two vigilante hangings of the morning,1 now turned to lighter amuse­ ment and hurried toward the most talked-of building in Leadville, the new Tabor Opera House. :B'or weeks the newspapers had been full of the wonders of this ''largest opera house west of the Mississippi,'' the second real opera house in Colorado, the Central City Opera House having been opened in 1878. The crowds gathered by carriage and on foot. The latest fash­ ions in leg-o'-mutton sleeves rubbed agaim;;t the roughest of mining togs ai;; the throng pushed down the main thoroughfare of the boom town, itself less than two years old, although it had now a popula­ tion of some 15,000. The 800 people who were fortunate enough to command tickets for the opening performance shoved through the crowd of curious and opened the swinging doors to find themselves in a hall' 'broad enough to admit a regiment.' ' 2 Passing up a flight of stairs they came into the largest amusement hall in Leadville, and "the only one where decent people would not be afraid to go.'' Excited ushers soon led the first nighters of the parquet and clress circles to their ~eats, "Anderson's patent opera chairs elegantly upholstered in plush, the same as those used in Wallack 's, Daly's, and the Mad­ ison Square of New York.'' ~ Once seated, the crowds looked curiously around at the car­ peted aisles, frescoed ceilings and the stage curtain, a view of the Royal Gorge which nudging neighbors whispered had cost $1,000.

  • Strikes and Rural Unrest During the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): a Geographic Approach
    sustainability Article Strikes and Rural Unrest during the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936): A Geographic Approach Javier Puche 1,* and Carmen González Martínez 2 1 Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Ciudad Escolar s/n, 44003 Teruel, Spain 2 Faculty of Letters, University of Murcia, Campus de la Merced, 30071 Murcia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-978-645-337 Received: 27 October 2018; Accepted: 17 December 2018; Published: 21 December 2018 Abstract: This article analyses the evolution and geographic distribution of the rural unrest that prevailed during the years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931–1936), a period characterised by political instability and social conflict. The number of provincial strikes recorded in the forestry and agricultural industries and complied by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare constitute the primary source of the study. Based on this information, maps of the regional and provincial distribution of the agricultural unrest have been created for the republican period. The results reveal that, contrary to the traditional belief which confines the rural unrest of this period to the geographic areas of the latifundios (large estates), Spanish agriculture, in all its diversity, was hit by collective disputes. Although the areas of the latifundios were most affected by the agricultural reform of 1932, the data show that the extension of the unrest in the Spanish countryside was also the result of the refusal of the landowners to accept and apply the new republican collective bargaining agreement. The number of strikes increased during the period 1931–1933, fell between 1934 and 1935, and increased again during the months of the Popular Front (February to July 1936).

  • Stagflation in the 1930S: Why Did the French New Deal Fail?
    Stagflation in the 1930s: Why did the French New Deal Fail? Jeremie Cohen-Setton, Joshua K. Hausman, and Johannes F. Wieland∗ August 15, 2014 VERSION 1.0. VERY PRELIMINARY. DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION. The latest version is available here. Abstract Most countries started to recover from the Great Depression when they left the Gold Stan- dard. France did not. In 1936, France both left the Gold Standard and enacted New- Deal-style policies, in particular wage increases and a 40-hour week law. The result was stagflation; prices rose rapidly from 1936 to 1938 while output stagnated. Using panel data on sectoral output, we show that the 40-hour week restriction had strong negative effects on production. Absent this law, France would likely have followed the usual pattern of rapid recovery after leaving the Gold Standard. We construct a model to show how supply-side policies could have prevented output growth despite excess capacity and a large real interest rate decline. ∗Cohen-Setton: University of California, Berkeley. 530 Evans Hall #3880, Berkeley, CA 94720.

  • The Labour Party and the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939
    1 Britain and the Basque Campaign of 1937: The Government, the Royal Navy, the Labour Party and the Press. To a large extent, the reaction of foreign powers dictated both the course and the outcome of the Civil War. The policies of four of the five major protagonists, Britain, France, Germany and Italy were substantially influenced by hostility to the fifth, the Soviet Union. Suspicion of the Soviet Union had been a major determinant of the international diplomacy of the Western powers since the revolution of October 1917. The Spanish conflict was the most recent battle in a European civil war. The early tolerance shown to both Hitler and Mussolini in the international arena was a tacit sign of approval of their policies towards the left in general and towards communism in particular. During the Spanish Civil War, it became apparent that this British and French complaisance regarding Italian and German social policies was accompanied by myopia regarding Fascist and Nazi determination to alter the international balance of power. Yet even when such ambitions could no longer be ignored, the residual sympathy for fascism of British policy-makers ensured that their first response would be simply to try to divert such ambitions in an anti-communist, and therefore Eastwards, direction.1 Within that broad aim, the Conservative government adopted a general policy of appeasement with the primary objective of reaching a rapprochement with Fascist Italy to divert Mussolini from aligning with a potentially hostile Nazi Germany and Japan. Given the scale of British imperial commitments, both financial and military, there would be no possibility of confronting all three at the same time.
