This week the Czechoslovak Government is due to disclose the text of the secretly drafted Nationalities Statute which represents its reply to the demands of Adolf Hitler and the Sudeten Germans. In case this reply is deemed in'olerable by Germany, as predicted by Nazi newsorgans, it becomes automatically a specific and possible cause of war. Therefore interest centred upon secret proposals made by the Führer last week and secretly discussed by anxious statesmen in Paris while crowds light-heartedly cheered Their Majesties. To find out what had happened, the U. S. Ambassador...
...This was accompanied by loud, priestly chanting clearly audible some distance from the church. So far as the press could learn, there has been no such honoring of royalty in Moscow since the Revolution -yet last-week the famed Communist Union of Militant Atheists took it lying down.

No secret was it that General von Falkenhausen had no desire to leave China, that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek had used all means to persuade him to remain, that the German military commission departed only after peremptory orders had been issued from Berlin. It was reported that in "a farewell message to the Chinese troops, General von Falkenhausen declared undying sympathy with the Chinese Army, that Berlin sent...
What People Say. After studying a picture of Winchell's nervous, foxlike face, examining the column and hearing his breathless voice on the radio, a psychiatrist recently classed Winchell as a sufferer from "sublimated voyeurism," a man who passionately wants to see, to know, hating a secret, vicariously participating in all the things he sees and learns about and living everybody's life...
