...Because it was Browder who spoke, his hearers knew that the "new party line" was really Moscow talking. A quick transition to socialism in the U. S. is now the object of his party, said he, returning to Joseph Stalin's old theme: that the U. S. is ripe for collapse and revolutionary restitution. Of his more recent declarations (that socialism is not now practicable for the capitalistic U. S.) Earl Browder made no mention last week. Said he, abandoning Communist support of Roosevelt's foreign and domestic policies...
This hardly seemed the proper tone for future partners. Nor were the times ripe for calm negotiation. But as the sensations of Germany's conflict with Danzig dwindled before the bigger sensation of a German-Russian anti-aggression pact, Yugoslavia's quarreling factions reluctantly, slowly, drew together: sporazum was announced as ready for signing as soon as Yugoslavia's Regent Prince Paul agreed. A Balkan saying has it that the only difference between a Croat and a Serb is that a Croat is ten minutes late, a Serb ten minutes later. Last week it looked...
Three Schools. Thus, while the world warred, the U. S. grew wise in the ways of neutrality, but its wisdom is not yet ripe.

In 1931, when it decided Manchuria was ripe for plucking, it manufactured the "Mukden Incident" and marched in from Korea, much to the surprise of the Tokyo Government. In Manchukuo it runs the whole show, bossing the Government of Emperor Kang Teh (Henry Pu Yi) and owning or controlling every major industry. Many Kwantung officers deplore the Japanese...
...Polish chauffeur, to neighboring Marienburg, East Prussia, where his grave waited, Nazi formations lined the road, saluted the remains of their latest "martyr." Poles breathed easier when Fiihrer Hitler's gesture was confined to flowers. German newspapers played down the incident. The Danzig plum was not yet ripe, so eager Danzig Nazis must wait, perhaps "until autumn," for Anschluss with the Reich. Said Danzig Nazi Leader Helmuth Andres: Danzigers must remain quiet, even in the face of the worst Polish provocation. It is our responsibility not to force the Fiihrer in any way in the tempo he has chosen...
