...notice enough to the Realmleader that Britain would not join France, Russia and Italy in any harsh, concerted effort to make him toe dotted lines on which Germany has signed. Last week in Berlin the French Ambassador was received with studied discourtesy by German Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath when he called to protest. On a similar errand the Italian Ambassador was received with the deference Il Duce demands, gets.

Specifically Messiah Hitler decreed that Germany will...

Soon German Foreign Minister Baron Constantin von Neurath was explaining to British Ambassador Sir Eric Phipps that in ten days Adolf Hitler would be delighted to receive Sir John Simon, would surely have no cold. As an odd Hitler gesture of appeasement, the Realmleader promised to prepare for Sir John's visit by the ritual of several days of meditation among the Bavarian Alps "breathing their pure, inspiring German...
