Throughout the week colorful personalities abounded in the Reichstag as concluding arguments for and against the Locarno Treaties drew to a close. Klara Zetkin, 68-year-old and rejuvenated* "Mother of German Communism," arrived from Moscow for the occasion. On the Nationalist bench the aged Admiral von Tirpitz stroked his pendulous forked beard...
...everyone knows, the question of what is to be done with some 35,000 square miles of territory bounded by Turkey, Persia, the British protected Kingdom of Irak, and the French mandated region of Syria.
