Mr. G. Harrison Brown
Post-War Germany, whether considered politically, socially, or economically, has been, and still is in a state of ever-changing balance, swayed as much by shadowy psychological factors of fear and uncertainty as by concrete facts. The democratic experiment of the Weimar Constitution, the financial and economic collapse, the rise of Youth movements like Hitlerism, and the determined efforts of the extremists of the old regime to seize power, all constitute a national drama of intense international importance. Above the conflict looms the gigantic figure of the aged Hindenburg, surely the first example in history of the military chief of a defeated nation guiding its destinies in the years of reconstruction. Accurate information about Germany today can only be given by an incessant observer, aware of the importance of the slightest changes in the national barometer readings. Mr. Harrison Brown is such a man, and listeners will find in him a faithful, unbiassed and interesting topical reporter.
