...unmistakable warning aimed squarely at the totalitarian States of Europe. Chief critic of the original version was Argentina. Always a strong advocate of solidarity, Argentina, dependent upon German and Italian purchases for a sizable amount of her trade, objected to such an outspoken attack on her totalitarian customers. Mr. Hull, unwilling to compromise President Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy by insisting that the U.

There Her Grace, the wealthy, 64-year-old Duchess of Atholl stood for re-election on a straight platform of 100% opposition to Prime Minister Chamberlain's policy of dealing with dictators. Long a sharp-tongued critic of Mr. Chamberlain's foreign policy, the Duchess, one of the brainiest women in British politics, has been tagged with such sobriquets as "Red Kitty" or the "Red Duchess" because of her support of Loyalist Spain and other causes unloved by Mr. Chamberlain's Conservative Party...
