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. Surrounded by reporters and photographers, he smiled nervously, praised the skyline in guttural English, tried to explain that he was in the U. S. to pay a debt. Before he could finish his explanation Army officers whisked him away to forbidding old Castle William on Governor's Island, where he was given a pair...
...Adolf Hitler openly marched into Czecho-Slovakia last March, taking physical possession of the country he had morally conquered in September, loud words emanated from London in protest, few from Paris.

For the Poles he chose these words: "Such silly childish political infants must be taught with a whip on the pants...
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...
