1 Price data from Bulletin de la Statistique Générale de la France, Paris, Librairie Félix Alcan, Vol. XV, No. II (October 1925), p. 14, and Vol. XVII, No. II (JanuaryâMarch 1928), p. 132.
2 Martin Wolfe, The French Franc Between the Wars, 1919â1939 (New York: Columbia University Press, 1951), p. 213.
3 W. F. Ogburn and W. Jaffe, The Economic Development of Post-War France (New York: Columbia University Press, 1929). Cited in T. Kemp, The French Economy 1913â1939 (London: Longman Group, 1972), p. 67. This last is a most useful and succinct study.
4 Alfred Sauvy, Histoire Economique de la France entre les Deux Guerres, Vol. I, 1918â31 (Paris: Fayard, 1965). Cited in Charles P. Kindleberger, The World in Depression 1929â1939 (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1973), p, 48. The latter is the best book in English on the Great Depression, and one to which I am much indebted.
5 Frank D. Graham, Exchange, Prices and Production in Hyper-Inflation: Germany 1920â1923 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1930), p. 7. This study, by an admired friend and onetime Princeton colleague, is a basic source on the German inflation. It is a subject on which the literature is vast.
6 John Maynard Keynes, The Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes, Vol. II: The Economic Consequences of the Peace (London: Macmillan & Co., 1971).
7 R. F. Harrod, The Life of John Maynard Keynes (London: Macmillan & Co., 1963), p. 296. According to the legend current in Cambridge (England) during my time there, Keynes was bailed out by his father, John Neville Keynes, also of the University. This, according to Harrod, was not the case; Keynes, he says, did reveal his plight to his parents who, not surprisingly, counseled caution.

14 A recent writer, Richard M. Watt, suggests that, over the reparations period, Germany paid 36 billion marks, borrowed 33 billion from abroad. Most of these loans went unpaid. In The Kings Depart (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1968), p. 504.
15 Nineteen twenty-three trade union figures are from Graham, p. 317. Others are from Angus Maddison, âEconomic Growth in Western Europe 1870â1957,â in Warren C. Scoville and J. Clayburn La Force, The Economic Development of Western Europe from 1914 to the Present (Lexington, Massachusetts: D. C. Heath & Co., 1970), p. 56, and are adjusted to include all wage earners.
16 Unemployment figures are from Maddison, p. 56. Guillebaud, who excludes some nonindustrial categories, puts unemployment in 1931 at around one-quarter of the labor force and in 1932 at one-third. C. W. Guillebaud, The Economic Recovery of Germany (London: Macmillan & Co., 1939). p. 31.
17 Later in the â30s, Brüning joined the Harvard faculty as Professor of Government. At a welcoming seminar one evening I asked him if his Draconian measures at a time of general deflation had not advanced the cause of Adolf Hitler.
