Circulating in world capitals for days were vague reports that the British Government was again negotiating with Adolf Hitler over the impending crisis in the Free City of Danzig. One account told of a "positive peace plan" in which the Germans would be offered an international loan of $5,000,000,000 to enable them to change the Third Reich's economy from a war to a peace basis. Another story, originating in Washington and printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer, predicted a five-nation conference between Great Britain.

Balkan newsmen smelled a Hitler-sponsored Balkan bloc arising, and believed that this Yugoslav-Bulgarian "neutrality" had the blessing of the Rome-Berlin Axis just as Rumanian and Greek "neutrality" was blessed by Britain and France. With Yugoslavia now friendly with Bulgaria, it looked as if the Balkan Entente of Turkey, Greece, Rumania and Yugoslavia, an entente aimed at Bulgaria, was about to fall apart...
Landing in Manhattan, Columbia University's aged (77-year-old) President Dr. Nicholas Murray ("Nicholas Miraculous") Butler told newsmen that Adolf Hitler maintains an advisory staff of five astrologers.
