...Adolf Hitler smashed the German trade unions affiliated with Iftu. At an Iftu meeting in Warsaw last summer Matthew Woll promised that the American Federation of Labor would join with its 3,400,000 members. But last week in Moscow the backing of almost 5,000,000 French trade unionists made Leon Jouhaux much the most prominent foreigner at what may prove Iftu's greatest congress. Technically, the headquarters of Iftu are in Amsterdam-it is often called the Amsterdam International-and Iftu's General Secretary Shevenels brought from Amsterdam last week the papers inviting...
...Were refused details of what took place at the meeting of Adolf Hitler and Viscount Halifax (TIME, Nov. 29 et ante), but were told by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that "the visit has been valuable in furthering the desire, which I believe to be generally felt in both countries, for the establishment of a closer mutual understanding."

One of Britain's top Jews, Viscount Samuel urged in the House of Lords that Germany be explicitly absolved of her 1914 "War guilt," that her former colonies be returned, and that the Covenant of the League of Nations be detached from the Treaty of Versailles in hopes of getting the Reich to rejoin the League...
...British Cabinet and fawning in the House of Lords produced an immediately stiffened attitude toward Lord Halifax. British references to the Viscount's visit as one of "exploration" caused a whole string of Nazi news-organs-reciting the words of the official Nazi press service-to retort: "Adolf Hitler's Germany needs no 'exploration.' The German position is perfectly clear. 'Explorations' might better be sent into the jungle of England's own policy...
