A 1919 Berlin dispatch is cited noting German stubbornness after World War I and a warning from psychiatrist Dr. Richard Brickner that Germany suffers a paranoid-like disorder. The piece connects these ideas to postwar peace aims and suggests leadership must be stabilized to ensure lasting peace. It also touches on a forthcoming United Nations food conference and a rumor about clothing ration cards.
