Life in London nowadays is not calculated to settle the nerves. If you go into St. James Park to feed the ducks on the lake, you will see holes in the ground-bomb shelters. If you plan to remodel your Victorian house in Chelsea, you must make provision for a steel cellar-bomb shelter. If you go for a spin in your little Vickers monoplane, you must watch for preposterous balloons dangling wires-defense against bombers. If you have a disproportionately long nose, you must be specially fitted for a gas mask...

The world must remember that 15,000 Nacistas helped elect Chile's Popular Front President Pedro Aguirre Cerda last October. Henceforth the party name was to be Popular Socialist Vanguard. It would advocate: 1) nationalization of copper, nitrate, iron industries, electricity, railroads (all but the last largely U.
