...Munich, Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Hitler very ably appeased each other. Mr. Chamberlain by giving in, Mr. Hitler by declaring his good intentions. The big unsettled question about President Roosevelt's business-appeasement policy is whether it is the Chamberlain or Hitler kind. Last week it looked more like the Hitler kind when the head of the Federal Reserve Board, Marriner Eccles (the New Deal's prime advocate of spending for recovery), appeared before a Senate committee and gave Congress a lusty double dare. He challenged it to try economy. Said...
...Like Mr. Hitler at Munich and after, daring Mr. Eccles had his adversaries on the hip. Said Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee, who knows perfectly well that Congress will not economize in a big way: "If the statement of Mr. Eccles represents the views of the President and is endorsed by him, and he desires Congress to determine the issue, I shall be glad to assist in the formulation of a reasonable program."

To Lithuania, however, it represents one-sixth of her industry, and it was the nation's only good outlet to the sea. With Memel gone, Lithuania...
...taking Memel, Führer Hitler reaffirmed the old principle (temporarily forgotten in Czecho-Slovakia) of bringing back all the German "children" into the Reich's fold. Once decided on, the occupation of Memel was carried out with the Führer's usual one-two-three precision...
