...jitters every time I read in TIME, or the daily papers, the figures on the numerical strength of the U. S. Army. For example, the Detroit Free Press in a recent issue states that the U. S. has 185,000 men in its regular Army, and reserve forces of about 315,000 including the National Guard, whereas Germany, Italy and Japan have a combined active army of some 3,350,000 and reserves of about...
Mary Johnson, perhaps taking cognizance of recent figures re shortage of men on her West Coast, makes a plea (TIME, April 24) that older men be sent to war and the younger men stay home because "the country cannot afford further sacrifice of potential fathers." Not to avoid putting on the uniform again, but simply to defend the reputations of those of us who are 40 and over, I protest we are still potential. The late Arthur Brisbane argued and the still kicking Dr. Richard T. Ely (80 plus) is demonstrating that older sires tend to produce intellectually superior offspring...
Last week the Reichstag was again called to meet in extraordinary session in Berlin's Kroll Opera House,* but it was far from a solemn occasion. The deputies were scheduled to hear Herr Hitler's reply to President Roosevelt's recent proposal of ten years of peace (see p. 11), but even before the session began the word got around that the Führer's answer would be cute.

...psychiatrists recently made long-range studies of Adolf Hitler.

As a rule, he said, when aggressive neurotics reach the height of their powers they automatically collapse. Medicus found evidence of growing confusion, indecision and fear in Adolf Hitler's recent actions, and, as a way of saying Herr Hitler may go crazy, concluded, "a purely pathological outcome...
...exploitation - is long. They have loudly demanded autonomy; and, agitating for it, Croat Leader Vladimir Matchek, dubbed the "Croatian Gandhi" for his passive resistance campaigns, has led runs on Serb banks, organized farmers' strikes and riots to hamstring the Government. Though nominally exponents of peasant-democ racy, in recent years some Croats began to drop hints that an approach to Germany might be the only way to wring concessions from the Serb Government. Such hints reminded the Yugoslav Government all too vividly of the actions last March of the Slovaks, who finally appealed to Führer Hitler...
