...omissions: the text of the Munich Pact; President Roosevelt's proposal that Germany guarantee neighboring States against aggression, although the blistering Reichstag speech of the Führer in reply to Mr. Roosevelt is given. In effect, the White Book argues that if all the events of the last 20 years are taken as a whole, there can be no doubt that Germans and Germany have always been right. Nearest thing to a juicy revelation is the disclosure that shortly before the Führer and the late Polish Dictator Marshal Josef Pilsudski made their ten-year Peace Pact...
...Last week police searched the labyrinthine cellars of the Houses of Parliament for spies, even poked through the ventilating system and set a patrol on the roof.

The short second section, "The British War Policy," accusingly produces 38 documents to prove that Great Britain, after Munich, did not halt her rearmament program. This section was published last month (TIME, Dec. n). Section three, "Germany's Efforts to Secure Peaceful Relations With Its Neighbors," traces the activities of the Führer "to achieve good relations" with Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Lithuania. The Führer is quoted (cracking back when British...
