...Arthur Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, wants to convince Adolf Hitler that Britain will allow him no further land grabs, one sure way to do it would be to give a Cabinet job to the Rt. Hon. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, M.P. for Epping. For the past decade Mr. Churchill has been to the British man-in-the-street the personification of Empire do-or-die, and more recently as the British statesman most violently opposed to appeasing "the Huns." Accordingly he is one of the Führer's pet aversions. Several times Herr Hitler has gone...

...When Hitler took Austria, more than a year ago, Cardinal Innitzer heiled and voted Ja with the best of them. He was, indeed, credited with helping end the Schuschnigg regime, by letting the Austrian Catholic press back Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Nazi go-between. Many Catholic observers, nonetheless, believe Cardinal Innitzer is no timeserver but a sincere, bewildered wrong-guesser who believed that Catholicism could honestly come to terms with Hitlerism. Praising the Cardinal's attempts at conciliation, the Commonweal said last week of his experience at Konigsbrunn: "It is one of the few classic tragedies in our melodramatic...
