April 19, 2022—This week’s EIR, with a cover date of April 22, completes our coverage of the April 9 Schiller Institute Conference, “To Establish a New Security and Development Architecture for all Nations,” with edited transcriptions of the presentations to Panels 2 (Economy), 3 (Security), and 4 (Economy), including the discussion sessions following each panel.
The guest editorial, “On the 100th Anniversary of the Rapallo Treaty, April 16,” by Alexander Hartmann, editor of the German weekly Neue Solidarität, states pointedly, “The opportunity for a peaceful way out of the crisis was missed in 1922. Walter Rathenau was assassinated, only two months after the conclusion of the Rapallo Treaty. The attempt to pay Germany’s reparation debts with the help of the money presses failed in 1923, with the infamous hyperinflation. The German population became impoverished and thus became the plaything of extremist forces.”
