...worked 25 years, $37.50; if he has worked 45 years (that cannot be before 1982), $53.75. The top figure for anyone at any time will be $85 a month. If he dies before he is due for an annuity, the Government will pay his estate an amount equal to 32% of the wages he has earned after 1936. No matter how high a man's salary may be, he will get these annuities provided he retires at 65, but only the first $3,000 of his annual earnings will be treated as wages in calculating his annuity. One exception...

Today the tables have been turned. Adolf Hitler, by his tearing up of the military clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, his revelation that he has secretly built an air battle fleet the equal of Great Britain's, and his demand for a German navy 35% as strong as hers, has given official London the jitters.

The British seemed willing, Ambassador von Ribbentrop told Realmleader Hitler last week, to capitulate on the basis that Germany should have a navy 35% as strong as Britain's in each and every category...
...seas, while explaining to Germany that but for unreasonable France friendly Britain would raise no objection to Germany's naval demands. Snapped the French semi-official Journal des Débats: "If the German fleet were fixed at 35% of the British strength that would be equal to 85% of the French fleet. Germany would therefore have an incontestable superiority in the northern seas, as we would be obliged to keep part of our force in the Mediterranean and for colonial defense. Consequently we are faced with this alternative: Either to leave our ports open to German attack...
