Dr. Ley, leader of the Labor Front, staved off much dissatisfaction early in May with promises of increased pay for workers. Dr. Ley’s speech, however, led to his “going on leave” with his return to power problematical. The financial powers were not and are not in favor of wage increases.

In the meantime, the fate of the Nazi regime rests on the relative speeds of the Nazi armaments race and Dr. Schacht’s ingenuity in devising schemes to meet its cost. Should the Nazi extremists become heedful of Dr. Schacht’s admonitions and temper their plans to the means, the Reichsbank master can furnish, the Nazi regime may coast along for some time. But judging from what has been done to date, this is not likely. Schacht is forced to one expdient after another to “cover up” after the armament orders. How long he can continue is problematical.
