Little Austria could scarcely afford to make effective protest, but the German Republic many times pointed out that Italy was not living up to her sworn obligations. When Adolf Hitler came to power the South Tyrolese hoped that this exponent of "One People, One State, One Leader" would soon look into their case. The Führer soon showed, however, that he would not allow the plight of a mere 200,000 Germans to interfere with the destiny of some 80,000,000. At Rome, in May 1938, the Führer declared before Il Duce that the present Italian...
...Embassy he violated diplomatic good manners by accusing Great Britain of a "foolish and criminal campaign of lies" against Germany and Italy and scoffing at the democracies' "furious impotence."

Two thousand members of the Dahlem congregation approved a protest declaring: "This is not . . . Christian. . . . We consider Pastor Niemoller, though he may be imprisoned, as our rightfully chosen minister...
President Fisher promptly decided to fight against his removal, charged that Governor Martin had flatly declared his job was political. His shocked friends declared that his ouster was a flagrant case of "interference by Fascist-minded reactionaries in an American school." By last week protest had been made to Governor Martin by the entire college faculty and student body, all six of the State's Representatives in Congress, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the American Federation of Teachers, labor unions, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, many an educator, many a Washington Democrat...
