...Warsaw eccentric Marshal Josef Pilsudski took calm note of the riots as fresh evidence of the unpopularity in Poland of the pro-German policy of Foreign Minister Josef Beck. It was Beck who sold to Dictator Pilsudski the ten-year Polish-German non-aggression pact of Dictator Hitler (TIME, Feb. 3, 1934). Last week Pilsudski was busy jamming through Poland's long-impotent Parliament constitutional changes making the dictatorship still more absolute. "One thing at a time!" is the crusty old Marshal's motto. For Poles the choice of the future lies between reverting to their old-time...
...Lagerlöfs' kitchen clock by "regulating"' it. When mischievous urchins daubed his floating home with paint, he showed his resentment by lying motionless in his punt. Doctor Piscator was a dangerous man to call in because he stayed so long. But he was a violent pro-German, and the Lagerlöfs' governess finally hit on the expedient of playing La Marseillaise...

If Germany is allowed to absorb or control Austria the post-war system of Europe which was based...
...witness in Austria variations upon a theme by Hitler. It has come to be accepted as a law of social development that a waning capitalism will attack and destroy evolutionary social democracy. The corpse of the Austrian Socialist Party is being divided between the Dollfuss fascists and the pro-German Nazis. Its press has been silenced, its power is being alienated, and now reports have it that large numbers of its members are going over to the Nazis. It makes no difference whether Dollfuss or the Nazis win; both represent the inevitable triumph of capitalism by violence over socialism...
...journalism as that of the New York Times. He has seen that Democracy in politics which he championed, suddenly altered to a dictatorship even more absolute than the one that made him attack Woodrow Wilson. In the internationalism which he has always shunned-to the point of being called pro-German during the War-he now sees his country taking the lead. Five years or so ago it was the fashion to regard Hearst as a "failure" and a "tragic figure"-but though he may need cash (as always) and though his papers' prestige is low now that...
