Main stumbling-block in the Anglo-Soviet talks from the start has been Russia's insistence that Britain specifically guarantee Estonia, Latvia and Finland against German aggression. Last week Führer Hitler appeared in the singular role of playing Stalin's game for him as the British Government, alarmed over the Danzig situation, was reported virtually to have conceded every Russian demand. Concessions were: 1) Specific military guarantees to the Baltic States; 2) Anglo-French-Russian staff consultations before the alliance becomes effective; 3) specific pledges by Britain and France not to make a separate peace during...

Eight months after his arrest, he was tried, on such charges as "making...
...anniversary of Pastor Niemoller's arrest, many a German church dared to toll its bells. In the U. S., 100,000 Protestant ministers were urged by Dr. Henry Smith Leiper of the Federal Council of Churches to preach sermons on "the modern Luther." Eleven oddly-assorted citizens (among them: Alf M. Landon, Walter Damrosch, C. I. O.'s Philip Murray, Harry Emerson Fosdick, Columbia University's Dr. Franz Boas) cabled Pastor Niemoller "our great admiration for your moral courage...
