"When the writer left on a five-months' study tour of fourteen European countries last May there were indications that changed world relations would profoundly affect Texas, the Southwest and the United States, as expressed largely in waning foreign markets. Since then these markets for Texas cotton, wheat and many other products have declined alarmingly as foreign Nations aim at self-sufficiency or enter into new trade agreements among themselves. Landing at Naples.the trail led through Switzerland, Germany, Holland, England, Denmark, the coasts of Norway and Sweden, then into Finland, the Soviet Union, Rumania, Hungary, Austria and France." [from the preface] Schoffelmayer takes note of world-wide economic nationalism and its impact on Texas, the Southwest and the USA.
