...picture of Franklin Roosevelt sitting at a table aboard ship in the Azores or some equally remote anchorage, settling the world's hash personally with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, was drawn in calm, confident words last week on the front page of the New York Times by its Washington correspondent, Arthur Krock. Some time last summer, said Mr. Krock, Mr. Roosevelt asked the Dictators to slip away and meet him at sea, but they declined...

Danzig is 95% German. It is ruled by Nazis. It is politically (if not economically) free from Polish rule. Students of the Treaty of Versailles have long criticized the detachment of Danzig from Germany at the World War's end and the placing of the city in the Polish customs union.
