...holding the bag again, and Britain slips around to Japan. British diplomacy has a beautiful way of just not being there where you really expect her sometimes. Just before the London Naval Parleys opened up, the Anglo-Saxons gave us quite definitely the impression that they were in sympathetic accord with the American conviction at the coming Parley. And that conviction: Japan shall not have naval equality. It certainly appeared that there was to be an Anglo-American bloc, a united front of two nations in concerted beliefs...
...Daily attendance at chapel is small -- though it has grown appreciably in the last three years--, and even on Sundays, the proportion of men who attend church, as compared with those who are otherwise occupied, is illuminating. But those few who attend fairly regularly do so of their own accord. They must start their day considerably earlier than would otherwise be necessary, and their willingness is an indication of their sincerity.

Any nation in accord with Hitler must chime in with his aversion to the Treaty of Versailles, the very document that re-created Poland after her 300-year subjugation. The climax of paradox was reached in Geneva last week when Marshal Pilsudski's long, lean Colonel Beck rose to make a bold declaration unique in League history and tantamount to tearing up a portion of the Treaty of Versailles...
