1931545H3021London: Jonathan Cape Limited. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 1931. First English Edition. Hardcover. 271 pages. Index. Author was "the man upon whom fell the brunt of piloting Germany through the financial dangers of 1923 to 1929. It was the historic German financial collapse of 1923 that first brought Dr. Schacht into prominence. In November of that year he was made the Imperial Currency Commissioner with the specific purpose of stemming the nation's hyperinflation. This book is one of the best contributions yet made to an understanding of post-War difficulties in finance and economics. In particular Chapter XIII on 'The Socialist System' contains a warning for Great Britain which can hardly fail to make a profound impression." - Introduction. Modicum of library markings.

1961356j1297New York: Grove Press Inc. Good in Good dust jacket. 1961. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. "In May 1945 an American officer in Germany confiscated the manuscript of an unpublished book ascribed to Adolf Hitler and sent it to the U.S. The book had been dictated in the summer of 1928 then placed in a safe at the Nazi party central publishing house. In the summer of 1958 it was identified beyond any question as a second book by Hitler devoted entirely to foreign policy. Nowhere else did Hitler set forth his foreign policy so frankly and fully. What emerges is an elaborate rationalization for a war policy on Germany's part and an intensive sketch of an alliance policy in preparation for war. Closes with an exposition of 'the Jewish Question' as Hitler saw it including his claim that the Jews by 'bloody Bolshevization' 'promiscuous bastardization' and 'economic conquest' would try to 'destroy the intellectual upper classes' and emerge as 'the master of a mankind become leaderless." - dust jacket. xxvi 230 pages.

Otherwise pages clean and binding intact. Scarce especially signed. Lee Michaelides: "Kendall Banning is one of Dartmouths most prolific versatile and all-but-forgotten men of letters. Best known on campus as the editor of Songs of the Hill Winds a book of Dartmouth verse he also wrote plays histories of Americas military academies and a fake 1784 cookbookall in his spare time. By day Banning edited several well-read magazines including Popular Radio Judge Cosmopolitan when it ran serious pieces of journalism and Snappy Stories a pulp mag for men. Danielle Sigler 96 a curator at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently rediscovered one of Bannings more interesting works Censored Mother Goose Rhymes a 1929 self-published collection of the well-known nursery rhymes. The slim volume packs a powerfuland amusingpunch with its anti-censorship message. Banning placed black bars over certain words in the rhymes leaving much to the readers imagination and humorously demonstrating how censors have taught us how to read naughty meanings into harmless words as he wrote in his dedication. Banning understood the uses of censorship. In 1926 hed written The Military Censorship of Pictures a volume that documented the crucial censorship of WW I photos. Conversely he complained in his class 1927 annual report that as an editor he waged almost constant warfare with professional reformers censors prohibitionists fundamentalists and other groups of busybodies who seek to enforce their own particular brand of idiosyncrasy or doctrine upon the rest of us mortals in general and upon editors and publishers in particularpresumably on the assumption that the press being influential in molding public opinion should be muzzled and forced to conform to the pet theories of the particular group that starts the trouble. Most bothersome to Banning was a campaign to have Snappy Stories banned in Massachusetts. It may interest members of our class to know that the Boston fight started when we refused to recognize the mandate of the Watch and Ward Society to keep out of New England an issue of Snappy Stories that contained an excellent short tale by our classmate Charlie Goddard he wrote. Bannings Mother Goose became a curiosity in the history of censorship because he sent it to Congress in 1929 as part of a lobbying effort against an anti-smut provision in the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. These rhymes have given pleasure to generations Banning wrote on the books last page and this version makes a new claim as amusing nonsense. But even more important than jingle or nonsense is the clear demonstration made here of the effect of censorship upon anything it touches. Although history is silent as to Mother Gooses impact on the legislation the tariff bill passed in 1930 with an amended censorship provision that wasnt nearly as strident as what bill sponsor Sen. Reed Smoot had wanted. 1722RO090. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Kendall Banning, The Cheltenham Press hardcover
