The Russian Mission of the Red Cross was headed by Col. William Boyce Thompson and Col. Raymond Robbins. . . (who) used the Red Cross to forward the war aims of Wall Street in a way unsuspected by the American people. The purely political function of the Red Cross is not generally appreciated even today. 

The opportunity for the international community to take action can arguably at times be considered a legal obligation under Articles 25 and 42 UN Charter, should the non-provision of assistance amount to war aimes, crimes against humanity, racial discrimination or genocide.

Modernism arose in a period of accelerating globalization in the late nineteenth century. Modernist writers and artists, while often loyal to their country in times of war, aimed to rise above the national and ideological conflicts of the early twentieth century in service to a cosmopolitan ideal. This Companion explores the international aspects of literary modernism by mapping the history of the movement across Europe and within each country. The essays place the various literary traditions within a social and historical context and set out recent critical debates. Particular attention is given to the urban centers in which modernism developed - from Dublin to Zurich, Barcelona to Warsaw - and to the movements of modernists across national borders. A broad, accessible account of European modernism, this Companion explores what this cosmopolitan movement can teach us about life as a citizen of Europe and of the world. 

From 1910 onward waste filament yam had been chopped into short lengths suitable for use on the machinery designed to process cotton and wool staples into spun yams. In the 1930s new plants were built specifically to supply the staple fiber markets. During World War II the production of staple matched that of filament, and by 1950, staple viscose was the most important product. The new spun-yam oudets spawned a series of viscose developments aimed at matching the characteristics of wool and cotton more closely. Viscose rayon was, after all, silk-like. Compared with wool it lacked bulk, residence, and abrasion resistance. Compared to cotton, it was weaker, tended to shrink and crease more easily, and had a rather lean, limp hand. 

The pioneering work carried out in Germany in the 1920s showed that appropriately substituted aminoquinolines and amino-acridines afforded a series of synthetic compounds that exhibited antimalarial activity.The exigencies of the Second World War led to a massive program aimed at the same goal in this country. This work led to the development of two distinct structural classes of quinoline antimalarials the 4-amino-7-chloroquino-... 

The I.G. was a great factor in German commercial pohcy. A statesman once coined the words, "Without the I.G. and without coal, I can have no foreign pohcy." We were always concerned with a mutual exchange of experiences and aims.. . . Since the first World War I beheved that in international science and understanding lay the solution to the economic illnesses of Europe and Asia. 

It is not the aim of this memorandum to prophesy the moment at which the untenable situation in Europe will reach the stage of open war. The definitive solution of Germany s economic situation lies in an extension of our living space, i.e., an extension of the raw materials and food basis of our nation.. . Much more important [than "political leadership" solving the problem is to prepare for the war during the peace. 

Krauch "This confirms what I learned from Goering, that a war was coming perhaps, but not necessarily an aggressive war." And Krauch had told Schmitz of the real aims of the Four Year Plan. Until late in 1938, Krauch had attended all the Vorstand meetings. 

Q. But you still maintain that being aware of Goering s aims, you did not believe that necessarily you were preparing Germany for aggressive war ... 

Armament activities in such a political setting raise the highest suspicion of knowledge of the ultimate aim of aggressive war. It will suffice if the ultimate aim to resort to aggressive war is known or believed. It is not necessary, as contended by the defense, that the defendants know the specific plans. . . nor the exact order of victims. 

The history of Delphinium is more peaceful, although, due to its poisinous property it was used against mammals. Crushed seeds of Delphinium staphisagria L. was used against body lice [5]. British army used the plant for this aim in Waterloo war as well as in the Great War. Medicinal use of Aconitum and Delphinium spans... 

Time to Aim Our Outrage at the Gun Lobby. National Catholic Reporter, vol. 34, April 3, 1998, p. 36. Recites the sad litany of school shootings such as those at West Paducah, Kentucky, and Jonesboro, Arkansas. The article says that it is time to react as Americans would react to deaths in a senseless war or as they have reacted to the tobacco companies—and take on the gun lobby.
