...French woman's great romance with the Italian Dictator, and so naturally she shot him. "Naturellement, Messieurs! Mark you, gentlemen, the great love of her life, a love which she could not master!" Although Dictator Mussolini and Dictator Hitler have just linked their countries in a close pact, official German radio stations were soon broadcasting the substance of French reports which were printed ten days before the shooting by Paris' often amazingly forehanded scoop-weekly Aux Ecoutes ("The Eavesdropper...
...Minister Stanley Baldwin made unobtrusively perhaps the most important declaration from His Majesty's Government since the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in 1933. A basic tenet of Nazi policy today is that, excluding Soviet Russia, the rest of Europe including Britain must unite in a Western Pact.

Mr. Baldwin's unanswerable argument for this is that it would give a "Feeling of Security" and not even the logical French can prove or disprove a feeling. Over in Paris last week Premier...
...this Herr von Ribbentrop drove directly to Croydon, flew to Berlin and there signed for the German Government its treaty with the Japanese Government uniting these powers against Communism and the World Revolution of the World Proletariat fomented by the Comintern from Moscow. With deliberate Japanese-German irony this pact is not directed against the Soviet Union, only against Moscow's Communism...
