...slate consisting entirely of Government-picked candidates, Benito Mussolini introduced into Italy five years ago (TIME, Nov. 26, 1928). Inevitably the Hitler Government must win-100%. Characteristically Chancellor Hitler did not threaten last week to re-arm in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler's technique of assault, highly developed during his struggle for power in Germany, consists in alternate hammer blows and conciliatory gestures. This method kept his German political foes in turmoil, helped to paralyze their resistance until the Nazis were able at last to smash, dissolve and confiscate the property and funds of all rival...
Jewelers and novelty shops all over the Reich did a brisk business last week selling lapel pins enameled or embossed with foreign flags. In many cases the pins doubtless worked, saved their wearers from instant Nazi assault for failure to salute passing Storm Troop banners. But one day last week in the smoky Ruhr metropolis of Dusseldorf, inoffensive Roland Velz, a U.

What assault he will suffer at the hands of his real victim, Mr. LaGuardia, remains to be seen, but it is clear that he cannot but emerge from the New York campaign as that most inexcusable of offenders in a democracy, the man of mystery, the friend of none and the suspect...
...Last fortnight he sent his well-paid, well-drilled troops against the walls of Dolonor in southeast Chahar, held by Manchukuan irregulars and two brigades of Japanese regulars. Four times they were thrown back, once demoralized by bombs from seven Japanese planes. Last week, on the fifth assault, Feng's men made a breach in the walls, swept the Manchukuan and Japanese troops across the city and out the east gate. Japanese, unfamiliar with victorious Chinese, charged the city garrison's general with having sold...
