    German pedestrians read a giant poster of Goering's "Nine Commandments for the Workers' Struggle," that has been affixed to a pillar in central Berlin. The text of the Goering plan (translated from German) reads: 1. For everyone: A job for everyone and everyone in his job. 2. To the German youth: Take a shovel in hand and go out into the land! 3. To the German woman: Take hold of the cooking pan, dust pan and broom and marry a man. 4. To the working man: Take on any job that comes your way; only this will give you and the people back its strength. 5. To women with professions: You cannot be happy in a profession when your proper place is in the home. 6. To the union leaders: A pessimist takes his own bread and that of the others; an optimist overcomes the depression. 7. To our women at home: Do not take time from your children and your husband, accept the help of a maid. 8. To the farmers: The more difficult the state makes it, the more that must be cultivated. 9. To the civil servant: If you cling to the red tape of bureaucracy, you have no place in modern times. Everyone in everything: Just take on a bit [of work].
