He flayed Foreign Minister Bonnet of France and the French press for criticizing the House's action in haltering Mr. Roosevelt.

...apply the "Leader Principle" to church government and the "Aryan paragraph" to the church's personnel, Pastor Niemoller spoke up in sharp, open opposition. Eight months after his arrest, he was tried, on such charges as "making agitatory addresses," found guilty, given a suspended sentence. But Adolf Hitler had said: "It is Niemoller or I."
