  • A Turning Point for the Weimar Republic
    1923 - A Turning Point for the Weimar Republic 1923 - A Turning Point for the Weimar Republic The Invasion of the Ruhr Following defeat in the First World War, Germany’s economy was in turmoil. However, in 1921 the allied powers decided – as required by the Treaty of Versailles – that the total sum of reparations to be paid by Germany would amount to 229 million Goldmarks, a sum that was to be changed later. Since Germany was not even close to being able to pay that sum, it was decided that the total had to be paid within 42 years. As early as 1922 Germany could not keep up with the payment of reparations, but the French in particular were determined to force Germany to pay what they owed. In January 1923 the French government lots its patience and sent troops to invade the Ruhr, Germany’s most valuable industrial area. The French believed that they had every right to occupy the area to extract the reparations themselves. The French prime minister at the time, Raymond Poincare, said that letting the Germans break the terms of the Treaty of Versailles in regards of the war reparations, would create a precedent that would lead Germany to ignore the rest of the Treaty. The French and Belgian troops took over the iron and steel factories, coal mines and railways. Those Germans who lived in the Ruhr and were considered not to be cooperating were imprisoned. Weimar’s government responded by ordering the workers in the Ruhr to go on strike. It also ordered all people in the Ruhr to passively resist the French and Belgian soldiers.

  • Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution Of
    Residential History of Cottages on the Grounds of Scripps Institution of Oceanography Compiled by Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives April 23, 2007 The first cottages were built at Scripps in 1913, and residents lived there until around 1959, when the University asked that the cottages all be vacated. The reader will notice that this is not a complete residential history; this information was gleaned from SIO Office of the Business Manager accounting books, indicating who paid the rent on various cottages over time. At the end is a partial list of children who lived in these cottages. The cottage numbering follows the numbering scheme on a “Map of a Portion of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, Showing Suggested Improvements, January 1919” which is located in the SIO Office of the Business Manager oversize files. For this history, a numbered 1949 aerial photograph of Scripps shows the cottage locations. Cottage #15 no longer existed in 1949, so its location is drawn onto this aerial photograph.

Prepared by the Federal Reserve Board. Production; of basic commodities and factory employment showed further large declines during Ji&ie. Trade, both at wholesale and retail, also decreased during the month and was in smaller volume than a year ago. PRODUCTION. The Federal Reserve Board’s index of production in basic industries, adjusted to allow for seasonal varia­ tions, declined about 9 per cent in June to a point 22 per cent below the level of the first two months of the year. Iron and steel and cotton manufacturing industries continued to show the most marked curtailment of activity, and decreases were general in other industries. Factory employment decreased 3 per cent in June, the metal, automobile, textile and leather industries reporting the largest reductions in forces. Value of building con­ tracts awarded in June was 8 per cent smaller than in May, though 4 per cent larger than in June of last year. Condition of the corn crop on July 1, as reported by the Department of Agriculture, was the lowest on record for that date and Indicated a probable yield about 500,000.000 bushels less than last year.
