...still theoretically good, but so are the German and Russian non-aggression treaties. In a Franco-German war one of them would have to be broken, but that does not trouble the conscience of Colonel Beck. He plays the field.

Some Catholic friends of the Guild angrily assailed this kind of "scabbery," but a quiet word from Bishop Sheil's office stopped them.
