...While Prime Minister Chamberlain's policy of playing ball with Mussolini was receiving distrustful glances from France last week, it received its first nod of approval from the voters at home. In a parliamentary bye-election at Aylesbury, Bucks., fought largely over Conservative Prime Minister Chamberlain's foreign policy, the Conservative candidate, Sir Stanley Reed, won a comfortable victory over his Liberal and Laborite opponents. Sir Stanley polled 21,695 votes, the Liberal candidate 10,751 and the Laborite...
...stands: two for the Opposition, one for the Government. The Opposition victories were hung up in West Fulham, outside London, and in Lichfield, onetime home of famed, blustering Dr. Samuel Johnson. In these contests, although Laborites and Liberals have rejected the idea of a "Popular Front" to oppose Prime Minister Chamberlain, the two parties fortunately managed to put but one candidate in the field. Last week anti-Chamberlain factions bewailed the fact that two Opposition candidates had split the Aylesbury field, but a united front would have meant little change in the result. The Conservative Party has long...
With the approach of the general elections, South African hoardings have recently been decked with posters depicting a white woman, a native husband and colored children. The antiSemitic, anti-native, anti-British, pro-Nazi Nationalist Party had designed the poster as a "horrible example" of what would happen if Prime Minister J. B. M. Hertzog's and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Smuts's United Party Government were continued in office. Left unmentioned was the fact that custom prevents miscegenation in the Union of South Africa and between 1932 and 1936 records show that not one white woman...
Enfranchised Afrikander women regarded the poster as besmirching their honor, attended protest meetings throughout the country against this type of campaigning. More to their liking were the less graphic appeals of Prime Minister Hertzog, Deputy Prime Minister Smuts and henchmen, who declared vaguely for "national and racial unity," asked for support in the name of the "children's future." That South Africa prefers a non-illustrated campaign was evident at the ballot box last week when the United Party rollicked over not only the Nationalists but also over the Anglophile Dominionites and the radical Laborites. The standing...
...Prime sample of Nazi conjuring at the anti-Schuschnigg exhibit at Tulln last week was a goggling, cadaver-like effigy of the former Chancellor cruelly tagged "Comical Kurt." Elsewhere, Nazi investigators were tirelessly conjuring up a case to link Kurt un-comically with the execution in 1934 of a number of National Socialists who killed his boss, Engelbert Dollfuss. Meanwhile, still a closely-watched prisoner in his Belvedere Castle, Herr Schuschnigg was being permitted the comfort of daily visits from his blonde, 34-year-old fiancee, Countess Vera Fugger von Babenhausen, whose talent for fine music was Schuschnigg...
