He particularly talked with finance ministers-- Poland, Rumania, Greece, Jugo-Slavonia, Czecho-Slovakia, as well as England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium. Despite appearances of normality (cows grazing, tulips blooming,etc), the author insists he observed "a state of affairs so novel that the whole world's history has nothing comparable to offer".
