That this is the first issue of TIME which Mr. Hanson has read is truly his great misfortune. I read it from cover to cover, and sometimes 1) I agree with you, 2) I disagree, 3) you make me fighting mad, 4) I want to stand up and cheer-and I doubt if there exists in this whole Dominion a more patriotic Canadian or a more fanatical "Britisher" than...
...last time the world went mad the turning point in the Near East was the revolt of the Arabs. Thomas Edward Lawrence, a magnificent introvert from Wales, organized the Arabs for the revolt which broke Turkey's power and set up Great Britain's and France's control over what are now Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Trans-Jordan, Oman, Aden and the Hadramaut.

...drawing teacher and is now chief mystagogue of National Socialism, spends much of his time in private sanatoria. He dreams of a vast Germanic-pagan world in which Teutonic supermen live in ideological bliss. Rational Germans, few of whom possess the Nordic qualities he extols, call him "The mad prophet of Teutonic superiority." Sanatorium wardens tap their heads and whisper "Vogel im Kopf" (bats in the belfry).
