Orator Hitler, always somewhat feminine in contrast to the Italian Dictator's pronounced masculinity, gushed to the German Reichstag about "the leader of that great Fascist country, who is such a great friend of mine!" Der Führer continued, "I should like to express to the great Italian statesman in the name of the German people, and my own name, our warmest thanks. We know what Mussolini's attitude has meant to Germany in these days. . . . Indissoluble friendship! The land and frontiers of this friend are to us inviolable. The Italian people know that the German nation...
...chagrin felt at this by middle-class Frenchmen was in contrast to their optimism a few hours before, ably mirrored by New York Timesman P. J. Philip in a cable anticipating formation of a National Government: "If it can be done, it is not unlikely that France will see a quick return to prosperity which will, as in 1926, prove surprising to those who, reading events superficially, are inclined to underestimate this country.

Benoit, at the cameras, deserves great credit, as much for shots of delicate irony as for scencs of beauty and simplicity. English subtitles make this rare film available to everyone...
Coach Ulen a short time ago kept his star free-styler out of two meets because of training violations. This year Coach Fesler was not afraid to discipline the Seniors on his basketball squad. In contrast, we find a member of the hockey team, who, by his conduct at the end of three quadrangular league games, gave non-Harvard men the impression that Harvard is a home for soreheads and poor losers. If discipline was not attempted by the coach, then it was squarely up to the Director of Athletics to take action...
