Next day Mr. Browder's Daily Worker, along with his apologia, printed the text of a treaty minus escape, complete with commitments against further alliances aimed at either Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. From then until week's end, the Daily Worker mirrored the dilemma into which Comrade Stalin had pitched Communist Parties of all nations. Its editorialists and columnists preached continued distrust of Nazi Hitler, continued cooperation with anti-Fascist men of goodwill, even a continued boycott of German goods which Soviet Russia was now pledged to buy. As a faithful organ of Soviet doctrine...
...with each moment the advantage of shock dwindled. Master of surprise, imaginative, daring, unscrupulous, Adolf Hitler surpassed in dealing in intangibles-in smashing a custom, blowing up his own and another's ideology-and as the week wore on it looked as if intangibles delayed him. Why had he stopped? He would have had the advantage of war if he had plunged to seize Danzig, the Polish Corridor, Upper Silesia and the other sections that he said were his, the moment the shock took effect.

They said that a conviction that war was inevitable had settled over Europe. They said that if war came the countries were ready, that if peace came it could not be the peace of Munich. Danzig was not worth a war, but neither was it worth...
...came naturally from long-standing desires for a German-Russian understanding was too vague, that it was a spur-of-the-moment deal was impossible. But January 12 of this year may have been the turning point. At a New Year's party in his glittering new Chancellery, Adolf Hitler surprised diplomats by having a long, amiable talk with Russian Ambassador Alexei Fedorovich Mere-kalov. Hitler speaks no Russian, the Ambassador little German, but they understood each other better than anyone realized. Thereafter, the Goebbels Press & Radio ceased their gutter-word attacks on Joseph Stalin...
