...Four, instead of settling the Polish and Hungarian minority questions in Czechoslovakia at Munich, left these open for 90 days pending action by the three little countries themselves (see p. 18), and only later if necessary will the Big Four settle that hash. The Munich pact concludes: "When the question of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia has been settled, Germany and Italy, for their part, will give a guarantee to Czechoslovakia...
...Warsaw and in Budapest last week the overwhelming will of two highly emotional peoples to grab slices of Czechoslovakia was such that Poland and Hungary would certainly have overthrown their Cabinets, had not Polish Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz and Hungarian Regent Nicholas Horthy been 100% in accord with popular opinion. A slice of defeated Hungary containing 1,000,000 Magyars was carved off in 1920 by the Allies to help make up Czechoslovakia...
...when Poland was at war with the Soviet Union, the Czechoslovak Army occupied the Teschen area in Poland, with about 200,000 population. Thus, last week Poles and Hungarians did not regard Czechoslovakia as a virgin land which Germany had just been permitted to rape, did not regard themselves as rapists eager for a second and third outrage.

The psychologist of Prague correctly judged that this would...
There are perhaps half-a-dozen living photographers who are seriously and solely engaged in making the camera tell what concentrated truth they can find for it. One. the oldest, is Alfred Stieglitz. Another is a Hungarian war photographer, Robert Capa (TIME, Feb. 24), now in China. A third, one of the most adventurous, is a 29-year-old vagabond Frenchman named Cartier-Bresson, whose abilities sober critics have called "magical." Apparently carefree but quick on the trigger, Cartier-Bresson has snapped unforgettable, revelatory pictures of commonplace and sub-commonplace scenes, from bare French cafe tables to Mexicans with their...
