...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 out of his way to attack the onetime First Lord of the Admiralty. He has charged that he was a leader of the "British war party." Once, in a speech shortly after Munich, the Führer said that should...
...means business, that when it signed a treaty last April to assist Poland in case of aggression it meant it. Even British cartoonists, like Middleton of the Birmingham Gazette, complained that the Nazis would pay no attention even to the direst warning a British statesman could give. Führer Hitler and his coterie obviously did not believe a word of it, and there were even non-Nazis who shared the Führer's skepticism.

Main stumbling-block in the Anglo-Soviet talks from the start has been Russia's insistence that Britain specifically guarantee Estonia, Latvia and Finland against German aggression. Last week Führer Hitler appeared in the singular role of playing Stalin's game for him as the British Government, alarmed over the Danzig situation, was reported virtually to have conceded every Russian demand. Concessions were: 1) Specific military guarantees to the Baltic States; 2) Anglo-French-Russian staff consultations before the alliance becomes effective; 3) specific pledges by Britain and France not to make a separate peace during...
