...present opportunity at Stresa, probably Europe's long chance for peace, is allowed to lapse through the maddening dalliance of British statesmen, Great Britain must assume moral responsibility for the next great war. It is a responsibility which a confused world shifted from her to Germany in 1918. The spectacle of Hitler waving at Stalin with an olive branch in his hand and a machine-gun up his sleeve, while Great Britain politely looks the other way, is proving to be no sedative for a Europe suffering from its worst case of jitters since...

...March of Time, out last week, is a series of swift international shots showing Europe drawing an iron ring around Adolf Hitler. While the German Realmleader broods in his Bavarian hideaway, marching men in Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Russia tramp a stern significance into the warning words of statesmen. Besides a visual integration of a taut European situation, this March of Time edition contains: 1) the dramatic crisis in the office of the New York Daily News on the night of the Hauptmann verdict; 2) an electric light bulb breaking, milk dropping into a pan, photographed by a camera...
