...great race to rearm is a vicious circle of panic and increasing expense. It benefits no one, leads to war, and, most serious of all, creates an atmosphere in which the peaceful adjustment of fundamental problems is increasingly difficult. There is no need for the United States to add to this chaos. War is not inevitable. Our influence must continue to be a force for sanity and reason and not for panic, for law and order and not for aggression,-for peace...
...oddest deal of Britain's present effort to rearm herself as fast as possible, the Admiralty turned last week to a Sheffield steel firm, Thomas W.

Little Austria's "defy" to the Powers that defeated Imperial Austria was however, a discreet and muted echo of big Germany's. Timidly Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg whose grip on congested Austrian politics is steadily growing limper, announced: "The Cabinet Council expressed the unanimous conception that the granting to Austria of full equality was a self-evident supposition." In a firmer tone he removed Austrian rearmament from the realm of supposition by adding: "The necessary...
