Ominous was the atmosphere of official Washington on the evening last week when President Roosevelt's train rolled into Union Station from the West. Secretary of State Hull, looking grave as granite, stepped aboard before it had stopped rolling. Behind the Secretary of State followed the Secretary...
These circumstances were somewhat misleading. With Prime Minister Chamberlain dramatically seeking peace from Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden (see p. 75), tension was less that evening than it had been for several days.

S. is indeed morally aligned against Germany; 2) that President Roosevelt, again putting domestic issues above international problems, is anxious to keep opponents from charging in this fall's campaign that the Administration is heading the U. S. toward...
