None of the "statesmen" was named. Neither the Anglo-French lineup, which lost its shirt last time it sat down at a conference table with Herr Hitler, nor the militant Fascist powers warmed to Papal intervention. But the Pope has evidently not given up hope for a Vatican get-together, as he conferred with British Minister to the Vatican Francis D. G. Osborne and sent messages to London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw. What he said to Minister Osborne remained a secret...
Aboard the German liner Bremen when she reached quarantine last week was a fat, middle-aged man who was listed as Herr Bennett Nash. Herr Nash, a lonely fellow, had spent most of the crossing in the ship's bar drinking whiskey neat.

Bawled out by leather-lunged Bavarians while beer mugs banged the tables, the Badenweiler soon became a favorite of Fiihrer Hitler.* Later as a prop for such doggerel...
Shrewd. Germany has no colonies, but an enthusiastic Colonial League. Last week the League held its convention in Vienna. Attending were 25,000 delegates, who roared approval when Reich Colonial Leader General Count Franz von Epp promised that "by incomparably shrewd methods," Herr Hitler would regain the old Imperial colonial empire...
