...only Laborites and Liberals but also Conservative henchmen of the Prime Minister broke away to heap their wrath at popular Stanley Baldwin's latest bumble upon unpopular Ramsay MacDonald's luckless son Malcolm.

In three short years local Danzig Nazis have whipped up the quaint, long-slumbering Free City into a frenzied "Little Teutonia." Last week came the crux of a Danzig election deliberately forced by Nazis. They already had a working majority in the Danzig Diet but needed a two-thirds majority to scrap Danzig's democratic Constitution, crush rival parties and subjugate the Jews...
