...quotas must be revised or abandoned. Uncle Sam's refusal to classify the Spanish Loyalists as refugees so that they are ineligible for even temporary haven is a heartless response to the appeal of those first fighters against fascism who now are ringed by Franco, Hitler, and Mussolini. No All American team sparked by Senator Reynolds should be permitted to pull in the welcome must of Ellis Island. Not even the selfish arguments for walking out Europe's outcasts bold good. In a world of destruction and despair the United States since its founding has been humanity's Shangri...
...ominous quiet hung over Berlin last week as Germany's round-shouldered little First Soldier slipped out of the city for a mysterious meeting with Benito Mussolini. Berlin officials were more than usually reticent about where the meeting took place and what was discussed, saying only that "full agreement" was reached on Axis war plans. With Adolf Hitler and his Axis partner were high military officers and their Foreign Ministers, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano...

But the British, sure trouble was coming, thought they knew the answer (see below). Meanwhile the important military news of the week was the story of the battle...
Last week, while the skirted Evzones hammered at Mussolini's Albanian Army, the greatest Greek since antiquity did his belated bit for Greece. For a great Greek, he was practically a modern, having been born on the island of Crete exactly 400 years ago. His name: Domenikos Theotokopoulos, nicknamed El Greco ("The Greek"). His aid to embattled Greece: a one-man show (the first and finest in the U. S. in many years) of 18 of his paintings at Manhattan's Knoedler Galleries, the proceeds to go to the Greek War Relief Association. The fanatic fire...
