...this week Professor Riley was back in the news. The Russian press suddenly bristled with charges that Britain sought another Munich agreement. This time it would be between five big powers, with the U. S. included, the U. S. S. R. not. Why had hypocritical Mr. Chamberlain sent this Riley man to Danzig without even consulting Parliament? "Signs of a serious set-back to the attempt to get Russia into the peace pact front have to be recorded today," Correspondent G. E. R. Gedye cabled the New York Times. He could scarcely have expected how momentously right and wrong...
German-Polish conflict sharpened. Often tagged as Hungary's next Premier, Count Csaky waited until a few hours before news of the German-Russian Anti-Aggression Pact fell like a bomb on Europe's capitals. Then he said suavely what nationalistic Hungarians wanted to hear: "An independent and strong Hungary is an indispensable factor in the political balance of Central Europe. . . . This thousand-year-old nation has preferred, above all, in every age and under all circumstances, to be reliable and to keep its national honor.

...British residents of Hong Kong are not deemed to be worth fighting losing battles for.

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...
...North and Baltic Seas. The new river beds and the old connecting valleys make it relatively easy for soldiers to roll across the Baltic Plain in any direction. Germany's soldiers rolled against Russia in 1914 on railroad lines built especially to serve strategic purposes. On the Russian side of the border railroafls were as few as they were many in Germany. It was a situation which parallels that on the Spanish-French frontier. The situation still exists but the border has moved and the outer fringe of German lines is now in Poland and the Polish corridor...
