...part of Poland. Several Polish divisions lay outside Danzig ready to march in if the German Army made one false step in Danzig's direction. The Warsaw press urged the Government to copy Herr Hitler's tactics and assume a protectorate over Danzig. Since the Führer saw fit to denounce the Polish-German Treaty in a public speech, the Polish Government decided to answer him in kind. This week Foreign Minister Josef Beck and Premier Felicjan Slawoj-Sklad-kowski are to go before the Polish Parliament and say their say about Herr Hitler. An unnamed spokesman...
...Germany thus prepared for a showdown, journalistic prophets were busy. New York Times Correspondent G. E. R. Gedye journeyed from Europe to Manhattan to declare "war inevitable."

Meantime his decisions are based on the opinions of an ever-narrowing group of advisers. The adoring Nazi Deputy Leader Rudolf Hess, who follows his leader even in his moods, is still constantly at his side. But the Führer has become so inaccessible to most of his Cabinet that only Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Dr. Goebbels are now able to ask for and get private interviews. Five-sevenths along his Biblically allotted span of life, this strange man has at least the satisfaction of knowing that he has become the most formidable political tactician...
