...excellent and informative article on Paul McNutt in TIME, July 10, you overlook one fact of great importance; a fact which ought to be understood by the American people, since Mr. McNutt is already so much in the public eye and is so ambitious for the Presidency...
...wonder whether some people may not be misled by the phrase "go to the front but refuse to kill" placed under my picture. The fact is, of course, that although that is one of the possibilities for pacifists mentioned in the handbook, there are probably no religious pacifists in the U.

Late last week Prime Minister Chamberlain discussed it fully in a foreign affairs debate in the House of Commons. These sensational developments, however, were made somewhat less exciting by the fact that the pact had been reported ready for signing at least a dozen times before. Indeed, to detached observers the proceedings appeared less like diplomatic negotiations than like the scene in Hellzapoppin, in which a young man promises to escape from a strait jacket in five seconds, threshes fruitlessly around...
