For 70 years British practice has been to maintain a complementary unit in England for every Army unit required overseas. In theory each regiment has a battalion at home and one abroad, the home battalion training men to replace soldiers whose active service has expired. In comparison with this smooth machine, involving a minimum number of men in training on the British Isles, last week's proposal was revolutionary...

Nazi Party leaders gathered in the Sportspalast to renew their oaths of loyalty. The 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment, in which Corporal Hitler once served, got out a photographic album of the regiment's World War history...
Student. Born in Munich in 1900, the son of a Catholic schoolteacher, he became an ensign-bearer in the Eleventh Bavarian Infantry Regiment at 17, but saw no active service at the World War front.

Model Leagues of Nations, Government Councils, Guardian Conferences, Harvard Congresses, etcetera ad infinitum...
Five years ago Dictator Mussolini began his economic state building by setting up a system of "corporations" to regiment practically all phases of Italian life. There are 22 separate corporations, the members appointed by Il Duce, and consisting of an equal number of representatives from syndicates of capital and labor, three members designated by the Secretary of the Fascist Party, and a number of technicians. The corporations are classified in three general sections: 1) Agricultural-Industrial-Commercial Productive Cycle (including cereals, oils, livestock, textiles); 2) Industrial-Commercial Productive Cycle (chemicals, printing, utilities, metallurgy); 3) Service-producing Activities (credit and insurance...
