Against Borah stood the Administration viewpoint: 1) This is 1939, not 1918; the U. S. embargo on arms to all belligerents gives Adolf Hitler almost the equivalent of an Atlantic fleet, because Great Britain and France can get no arms from the U. S. 2) Britain and France are fighting the fight of democracy against world revolution, are not just engaged in another imperialistic quarrel...
Next day Premier Mitchell Frederick Hepburn of Ontario asked the Ottawa Government to order flags flown at half-mast for Margaret Hayworth, asserted that the "world's jury" had found Adolf Hitler guilty of the child's murder. Dr. Richard L. Jenkins, of Warwick, N.

Nevertheless, he possesses the thoroughness, persistence and greatness in his field that have made the Army the highest expression of German efficiency and perhaps...
