...form of lawlessness, and American policy began to take shape. By protest and testimonial, American, and later, allied statesmen have been excoriating totalitarian aggression ever since. The rise of Hitler brought warnings from Washington, the invasion of Ethiopia drew pleas for "resumption of international responsibility." As the Rhineland, Austria, Sudeten, and Czechoslovakia fell in simple order, the aggrandizement of Hitler drew outraged warnings from Washington. And in the Far East, we hurled verbal brickbats at Japanese participation in the "China Incident," warned Japan, threatened Japan, re-warned Japan, all to no avail...
...Private No. 7956306 in the Royal Armored Corps, as an Independent candidate to Parliament. Until the draft abruptly silenced him two months ago, Owen was one of Britain's loudest objectors to 2D. Crack editor of Beaverbrook's Evening Standard, tall, flamboyant Owen, who called himself a "Sudeten Welshman," had struck awakening punches against British war lethargy, led the fight for a Second Front. He was called up this spring, immediately after Beaverbrook left for the U.S. Some thought it unusual that he was not deferred, as other key British newsmen have been, although...
...British had any feeling of complacency last week it was not because of Frank Owen, a tall, rangy, bushy-haired newspaperman, who was born on the border of Wales 35 years ago and calls himself Sudeten Welsh.

Even while it sprays the German-Americans of the Middle West with a paraphrase of the sales talk the Nazis used on the Sudeten Germans, it boasts of its "Americanism." It urges all German-Americans to get together to protect their race against the "internationalists." G. A. N. A. also denounces in Goebbelsey phrases Great Britain and its U. S. sympathizers "from the White House down." Excerpt translated from a bit of German poesy recently aired over WHIP...
Four Sons (20th Century-Fox) attempts to probe the psychology that makes fifth columns possible, by tracing the effects of Naziism on a Sudeten mother and three of her sons before & after Munich. It is not badness, but his own discipline and strength, that draws the second son (Alan Curtis) to the disciplined and brutal Nazis. It is not strength, but muddlement that makes the eldest son (Don Ameche), a loyal Czech, kill his Nazi brother. Their mother (Eugenie Leontovich) suffers, but she never quite understands what it is all about...
