...Austria, leader of the potent Heimwehr, friend of Benito Mussolini and, to a great extent, dictator of his trouble-tossed little country. Last week the same young man was ignominiously booted out as Vice Chancellor, his private army was ordered disbanded and he lost the leadership of the Fatherland Front. Angry and vengeful at this sudden turn of affairs, he went to the Vienna South Station, entrained for Rome. Scarcely had his train pulled out than the final insult fell: by order of bespectacled Federal Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg the swashbuckling Prince was made Patron of the Fatherland Front...

Once again the Rhineland, sacred soil to every German, was back...

The conscription bill passed unanimously, with excited deputies standing up on their chairs to cheer. All that the bill actually stipulated was: "Any Austrian may be called upon to serve the Fatherland, with or without arms, according to his physical and spiritual capacity." What the bill evidently meant was that some 1,500,000 men aged 18 to 42 were made eligible to conscription either in labor battalions on the Nazi model or as combatant additions to the present army, which has already been...
...Pius XI recently warned the faithful in obvious reference to Adolf Hitler that the intoxicating word HONOR is now being distorted out of all meaning by "demagogues." All Nazi best mouths made it ring throughout Germany last week. Their main point, hammered home thousands of times, was that the Fatherland is menaced by cruel foes who want to deprive Germans of their "honor . . . our precious honor . . . honor, the dearest thing to every German . . . GERMAN HONOR . . . German Honor . . . German honor...
