Sturdily up to the War Ministry in Berlin last week marched a delegation of farmers from East Prussia, "The Hindenburg Country." They urged embarrassed War Ministry officials to do something about 30 East Prussian pastors in jail or concentration camps. "We want to render every possible service to the Führer-in peace time as farmers and in war time as soldiers-but there is one thing that must not be taken from us!" declared the farmers' spokesman. "We must be able to serve Our Lord, Jesus Christ, faithfully...
...from his conference with Herr Hitler very good news for Austrian Jews, Austrian Catholics and all 100% Austrians. After all, Hitler was born an Austrian, is an Austrian blood & bone.

...Erich Gritzbach, chief of the Prussian Press Bureau was Herr Göring's official biographer. Every German has heard the War story illustrating Göring's Chivalry.

...meet squarely the incredulity with which white men greet Japanese claims to be fighting China so that the two countries can become firm friends, even allies. In 1866 Prussia defeated Austria; in 1870 Austria was a "neutral" when Prussia fought and defeated France; and in 1914 Austria joined the Prussian War Lord as his chief ally-such in brief was the analogy from European history by which General Ugaki hoped last week to interpret to the West the faith of many Japanese that they can defeat and propagandize China into becoming their active friend, in say 50 years. To General...
