Apology, When Lord Tweedsmuir stood before the U. S. Senate, he made an apology: "I remember in my own country on the Scottish border there was an old minister who once a month thought it his duty to deliver a sermon upon the terrors of hell, when he sternly dangled his congregation over the abyss; but being a humane man, he liked to finish on a gentler note. He used to conclude thus: 'Of course, my friends, ye understand that the Almighty is compelled to do things in His official capacity that He would scorn...
...Insignificance. As an official visit without any official purpose, Lord Tweeds-muir's stop in Washington was a kaleidoscope of glittering but insignificant formalities. The Governor-General had come with his aides-de-camp and his wife with her lady-in-waiting, Mrs. George Pape.

These sidewise compliments to his host not only served to endear the Governor-General to the President, but to show how much Franklin Roosevelt had already endeared himself to Lord Tweedsmuir.

P., had met no more persuasive politician, than Franklin Roosevelt, or as a literary man, no more engaging listener. The result of the Governor-General's visit is, therefore, that when Britons...
Officially Hitler, "The Leader," accorded to Ludendorff a title the General has yearned for all these years, that of "The Field Lord" (Der Feldherr). Thus Herr Hitler made it official that during the War not Hindenburg but Ludendorff was, at General Staff Headquarters, the big shot. Reverently last week the Nazi press an nounced: "The Field Lord Ludendorff will use his surpassing knowledge and capabilities unreservedly and passionately for The Leader's work of Liberation. The Field Lord Ludendorff acknowledges The Lead er's political achievements fully and com pletely, and after long years of searching and consideration...
