...London, kindly Sir Harry Twyford, whose instant reaction to Munich was to start a charitable subscription for refugees from the Sudetenland, arrived in Prague beaming with the news that his British fund already had almost $200,000 in hand. Sir Harry was shortly told by Jewish, Communist and Socialist leaders among the Sudeten refugees that money was "almost no use" in the dire emergency they faced. Within 48 hours after a Sudeten refugee arrived in what remained of Czechoslovakia last week, he could count on being flung back into Germany...
...that the legitimate government in Spain was placed in power by democratic process in February, 1936; that of the 473 deputies then elected to the Cortes only 16 were communists; and that when Franco revolted in July, 1936, there was in the government neither a communist nor a socialist.

Meanwhile, energetic, square-jawed Radical Socialist Premier Edouard Daladier was greeted by the French Chamber of Deputies with a vote of confidence in what he did at Munich, 535-to-75-nearly all the dissenters being Communists...
...reported last month that the Department of Justice would not go to bat for Socialist Norman Thomas in his complaint under the Lindbergh Law (on kidnapping) against Boss Hague and the police of Jersey City who bum's-rushed him aboard a Manhattan-bound ferryboat when he tried to speak for civil liberties last spring. Such a storm of indignation rose from Liberals that the Department quickly disclaimed the report, said it was still studying the Thomas case. Last week Attorney General Cummings announced that evidence collected by G-Men would be placed before the Federal Grand Jury...
