...Imperial Germany, Adolf Hitler, Aggrandizer of the Reich, last week celebrated his 50th birthday. The representatives of conquered nations paid him humble homage. The envoys of fearful satellites rendered respectful tribute. Albert Forster, Nazi No. 1 of the Free City of Danzig, presented a document which made the Fuhrer an honorary citizen of a town he may soon appropriate.

Aggrandizer Hitler made no statements last week about being satisfied as to territorial demands. In fact, even Neville Chamberlain was inclined to doubt the Fuhrer's promises.
