Hitler On Front Page, 1931

Image
  Less than a week after Germany signed the Drug Limitation Convention, financial collapse was everywhere and Hitler got front page billing in a New York daily paper . ( link ).  Nor was this a one-off fluke . Germany's anti-Versailles Treaty Führer made p2 of a Connecticut daily that same day.( link ) NOT shown were the real culprits: President Herbert Hoover, Narcotics Commissioner Harry Anslinger, Rep. Hamilton Fish Jr. and the League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee . Also blameworthy were ordinary citizens, duped into believing that hemp and coca leaves can produce addiction, that banning production and trade causes economic stability, and that even though poppy opiates can cause addiction, pointing loaded guns at plant-using people is reasonable, non-violent and conducive to peace, prosperity and safety.  None of these individuals caused the German collapse of July 1931.

13JULY1931, Prohibition Crushes Germany

Image
  German stocks dropped MAY1927 when dope profits became liable to income tax; NOV1928 when Hoover was elected & Rothstein killed, SEP1929 when the League of Nations endorsed global dope limitation, DEC1929 when German drug law called stimulants narcotics, 13JULY1931 when Germany signed the Narcotics Limitation Convention.

1931--Germany at the Brink

  Enormous propaganda efforts were invested in making making it appear the financial collapse of the world's largest pharma and chemical industries just happened to coincide with the 1931 League of Nations dope convention throttling Germany's production and output ( link ) On 12JUL1931, German officials realized the failure of the  Damstadter und Nationalbank could not be concealed. Fortunately, the press refrained from linking the Nordwolle wool mills collapse with the tons of morphine loaded into packed woolens aboard the USS Milwaukee at the nearby port of Hamburg, just as they mentioned no such link with the Bank of United States and Alesia dope cargo. Still, the news article announcing  US READY TO ASK BIDS FOR 11 WAR VESSELS could hardly have been reassuring.( link ) Experienced observers had to realize their current fix had grown out of China's bid for U.S. assistance enforcing prohibition worldwide after witnessing the way Teddy Roosevelt's gendarmes strugg...
