...significance and the menace of this new alignment becomes clearer when applied to the German situation. The Nazis have publicly announced that their goal is a Pan-Germany, a linking up with Austria and later, perhaps, Hungary. If France intervenes to smash this arrangement, it is unlikely that England and her ally, Italy, would stand by while the French destroy the Central Powers. They could not watch peacefully the elimination of the eastern check to French supremacy. It would mean, baldly, a general, disastrous war. That is not an alarmist view; it is, unfortunately, commonsense...
Converse with 74-year-old Yukio Ozaki, former Mayor of Tokyo and member of the Diet since that body first met in 1890, is made difficult by the fact that he is nearly stone deaf. But there is nothing the matter with his foresight. Far clearer than most of his countrymen, he has seen which way Japan was heading. An unyielding pacifist, he has campaigned for world disarmament since...
...experience of the seven Houses during the first year of operation under the plan as a whole has been such as to give us a clearer idea of the effects of the now arrangement upon undergraduate life from both the educational land social points of view.

...Hindenburg-Hitler negotiations which began with their "extraordinarily cordial meeting" fortnight ago continued last week through an exchange of formal letters which Berlin wits dubbed "the game of questions & answers."

Herr Hitler drew from Old Paul what amounted to a stipulation that the President would not appoint him Chancellor unless he could obtain a "safe majority" in the Reichstag for a Cabinet pledged to continue all the policies...
Talk of a big new opera company buzzed louder and clearer in Manhattan last week than any of the many opera rumors of the past year. Soprano Maria Jeritza and Tenor Beniamino Gigli, both out of the Metropolitan this year, were two names connected with it. Richard Strauss, the story went, would be one of its conductors, Fritz Reiner another. Max Reinhardt, Ernst Lubitsch and Robert Edmond Jones would stage its productions in up-to-date fashion. Youthful members of Society would be called upon for support instead of the staid and settled folk who sit in the boxes...
