MODERN WORLD TIMES

World Heading Into Economic Depression
by Jennifer Kim
Yesterday, on October 29,1929, the stock market collapsed. Stocks are a system in which investors share ownership of a company. Investors have been trying to make more money off of stock markets, instead of just putting their money into a savings account. However, because the stock prices dropped, many of these investors have been losing money and now cannot pay off their loans. New York Citys Wall Street has been greatly affected by this, along with the rest of the world. Because our United States economy has fallen, foreign nations such as Austria and Germany, who depend largely on American loans, are also being affected. War debts are a huge problem, because none of the countries can pay off their loans to each other. Furthermore, American and European demands on Latin American products have dropped, striking the Latin American nations hard. With this cycle of being unable to pay off debts, the world is heading into a world- wide economic depression.

Op-Ed I believe this cartoon presents the Great Depression very we" because the economic downfa" led to mi"ions of people losing their jobs, and the unemployment rates shot up. United we stand is what the cartoon says. To show that many people suered, the cartoonist drew a long LOOKING FOR A JOB? line of people, who have a" lost their jobs, being united in the fact that theyre a" unemployed. Call 561-216-5923 I dont know if the depression could have been any worse, because no one could help the unemployment rate %om going down; everyone was helpless during the depression. IN HONOR OF WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
Former U.S. President William Howard Taft passed away March 8, 1930. He was 72-years-old. No one really knows why or how he passed away, but it is assumed that it was his obesity, which came along with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and chances of heart attacks, that caused it. William Howard Taft was a great man, born on September 15, 1857. He married Helen Herron and had three children, Robert, Helen, and Charles. He served as a former United States President, Supreme Court Justice, Secretary of War, and United States Solicitor General, and Governor-General of the Philippines. William Howard Taft lived a life full of achievements, and he will be greatly missed.

IN HONOR OF EDWARD TERRY SANFORD

Judge Edward Terry Sanford passed away March 8, 1930. He was 64-years-old. Sanford died suddenly and unexpectedly of Uremic poisoning after a tooth extraction. Edward Terry Sanford, born on July 23, 1865, married Lutie Mallory Woodruff and had two daughters, Dorothy and Anna Magee. After graduating from Harvard Law School, he served as the United States Supreme Court Justice from 1923-1930. He left a lasting impact on American law, voicing his opinion at the Gitlow v. New York case. Judge Edward Terry Sanford led an inspiring life and wont be forgotten.

ADOLF HITLER IN POWER

by Jennifer Kim

Adolf Hitler, a political leader in Germany, seems to be regaining his popularity. During the horrid Great War, Hitler volunteered for the German army and was rewarded for his bravery with the Iron Cross. Near the end of the war, he joined a small political group, which later named themselves the National Socialist German Workers Party, or Nazi. He was soon voted the leader of the Nazi party. Inspired, Hitler and the Nazis tried to take over the Munich, but he was arrested when he failed. For a while after he was released from prison in 1924, most Germans disregarded him as their leader. However, as the Great Depression struck Germany and their economy started falling, the Germans, scared and startled, looked back to Hitler for leadership. Not too long ago, President Paul von Hindenburg entitled Hitler as chancellor. Now, it seems Hitler is on the move to take over Europe, as he promised his country; his elite protection squad has already killed hundreds of Hitlers enemies. He has been using the press, radio, literature, painting, and `ilm as propaganda tools. Believing that the Germans, or as he calls them Aryans, are the greatest race. Hitler also mentions that continuous struggle brings victory to the strong. Now in 1933, it seems the Nazis are devising a scheme against the Jews.
