Next day came the military display. While 265 planes zoomed overhead, Herr Hitler obligingly showed his princely guests how lucky it is to be Germany's friend. He underlined his point with a two-and-one-half-hour military review, made princely eyes bug out with three new 25-ton tanks, mounting one 75-mm. gun, one 37-mm. gun, three machine guns.

Assuming that Germany, Italy, Hungary and Spain fight under the banner of the Axis, and that Britain, France, Poland, Rumania, Turkey, Greece and Egypt fight as allies in a "stop-Hitler coalition," Major Eliot last month offered his tabulation of relative strengths in the New Republic...

Besides her columns she has written six books, ranging from her famous 100%-wrong guess on Germany in 1932 (I Saw Hitler) to her most recent effort to educate the U.

She had written a few articles for The Saturday Evening Post and was considered an intelligent journalist, but she was a reporter and no pundit...
...Germany. In other shops, the Bible may be sold only on special order. Thus Germany safeguarded its shelves from a history of Jewish achievement, a chronicle of subversive preaching and prophesying, a guidebook to a radical world order. It also protected itself against a competitor of A. Hitler's Mein Kampf. Last month the American Bible Society revealed that sales of Holy Writ, rising steadily during six years of Naziism, reached 937,000 last year. Mein Kampf sold only 800,000 copies...
