...same day Poland's walrus-mustached de facto Dictator, Marshal Josef Pilsudski, benignly approved a treaty signed in Berlin by Polish Ambassador Josef Lipski and German Foreign Minister Baron Constantin von Neurath. If ratified and observed in good faith by both nations, this new ten-year non-aggression pact ends for that period the possibility of war over the "Polish Corridor Question." It pledges Germany and Poland for the next decade "under no circumstances" to "proceed to the application of force," to settle mutual disputes...
...sessions this week were more than usually routine and futile.

This move sent Germany dramatically to London hat in hand, served notice that unless she receives favors of some sort from the Conference her total borrowings are as good...
That afternoon he had had a secret conference with Old Paul von Hindenburg (still head of the German State, still able, technically, to demand the resignation of Chancellor Hitler) to which not Foreign Minister Baron von Neurath but Nazi Minister of the Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick was the third party. Now he had to write a speech that was not for Germany alone, but for the entire world to hear. Hours passed, the door remained locked. At 4 a. m. the tired secretary emerged to say that the first draft had been completed...
