Light dust was more widespread in the Northwest than during April; Walla Walla, Wash. reported dust on 8 days and Pakima on 1. Dusty conditions were noted a.s far east 8.5 Reading, Pa., though in large Ohio Valley districts no dust was reported. At Rending, dust was only suffic.ient to cause colorful sunsets, while Chicago esperienced a light mudfall on the 31st. In c.entra1 and northern sections there was some prop- ert.y loss from these storms; in portions of Minnesota seeded fields were damaged where grain was not high enough to keep the soil from being blown away, while at other stations only human discomfort resulted. At numerous ot,her stations in these areas dust was reported aloft. Colorado again had severe duststorms; they were es- pecially frequent in southeastern counties, where the ground was cultivated extensively last year.

    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 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.

    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.

Greene Dr. Maxim Matusevich April 29,2009 Abstract As a symbol of hope, pride, and freedom, Africa has long influenced Black American concepts of identity, culture, and politics. During the first half of the twentieth century, cultural movements such as the Harlem Renaissance and Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Inlprovement Association (UNIA) increased Black Americans' awareness of Africa and strengthened concrete historical ties between the "motherland and the Diaspora in the United States. Between 1934 and 1941, the Italian-Ethiopian crisis sparked enormous support of Ethiopia from the African American community. While this event is often treated as a watershed event in African American politics, this study suggests that the outcry over the Italian aggression in Ethiopia reflects the evolutionary process of Black America's growing concern for Africa which originated decades, even centuries prior to the Italian-Ethiopian crisis and which experienced continuing affnmation Events of the 1920s and 1930s triggered an increased awareness of these links between all Africans in their quests for political independence linking colonialism in Africa to racism in the Diaspora.

    The Great Colorado Flood of May 30-31, 1935: One of the State's Top

    report this ad News & Blogs The Great Colorado Flood of May 30-31, 1935: One of the State’s Top Three? By: Christopher C. Burt , 7:10 PM GMT on September 18, 2013 The Great Colorado Flood of May 30-31, 1935: One of the State’s Top Three? The recent storm that dropped as much as 21.13” of rainfall in the Boulder area in less than a week has been called a once in a thousand year event. For Boulder this, odds-wise, was probably true. Colorado is subject to extreme precipitation events as has been observed in the modern era at several other locations in the state since detailed weather observations began in the late 19th century. Most notably the tragic Big Thompson Flood of July 31, 1976 that claimed 144 lives. Less well known but perhaps of even greater intensity was the event of May 30-31, 1935. May 30-31, 1935 It would appear that the most extreme rainfall event on record in Colorado was that of May 30-31, 1935. In an event that strains credulity, an astonishing 24” of rain fell in six hours (22.80” of which fell in just four hours) at two locations in eastern Colorado on the afternoon and evening of May 30, 1935. The amounts were recorded at two remote sites located about a hundred miles apart, Gauge #Sec. 34, T9S, R564W was located about 25 miles northeast of Colorado Springs, and Gauge #AB Sec. 26, T5S, R55W, just north of Burlington, near the Kansas border. The amounts of rainfall were recorded five hours apart, at Gauge #34 between noon and 6 p.m., and at #26 between 7 p.m.
