...Prize that Walther von Brauchitsch had won for Germany was, from a military standpoint, well worth its cost in men and machines. "At almost the precise moment" that England blockaded Germany, as Field Marshal Goring remarked last fortnight, Germany got her hands on Poland's rich coal fields. Poland's production of 36,000,000 tons a year will increase the Reich's coal supply to some 220,000,000 tons-if she can hold the coal-producing Saar into which France was pushing last week.

...Babylonian Notation, Mozart's Handwriting and the Creative Process, The Evolution of Javanese Tone-Systems. Delegates from France and Germany were kept away by the war, and the musicologists soberly discussed probable hindrance of their work elsewhere, applauded a message from French Novelist-Musician Romain Rolland: "In the field of art, there is not . . . any rivalry among nations. The only combat worthy of us is that . . . between culture and ignorance...
