Other omissions: the text of the Munich Pact; President Roosevelt's proposal that Germany guarantee neighboring States against aggression, although the blistering Reichstag speech of the Führer in reply to Mr. Roosevelt is given. In effect, the White Book argues that if all the events of the last 20 years are taken as a whole, there can be no doubt that Germans and Germany have always been right. Nearest thing to a juicy revelation is the disclosure that shortly before the Führer and the late Polish Dictator Marshal Josef Pilsudski made their ten-year Peace...
Wednesday there was a fresh epidemic of Finnish "attacks." The Finnish high command ordered troops withdrawn a half mile from the border to make impossible such reports. The Cabinet met early and at noon Foreign Minister Eljas Erkko telegraphed to Baron Yrjo-Koskinen the text of another Finnish note. The note had not arrived when the baron was called to the Russian Foreign Office at 10:30 p. m. There was wide suspicion that it had been deliberately held up in transmission. At any rate, Vice Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vladimir Potemkin had other business to transact with Minister Yrjo...

He took as his text reports carried by the French Havas News Agency that on Aug. 19 in Moscow, Dictator Stalin, addressing the Politburo or steering committee of the Communist Party, "expounded the idea that the war should last as long as possible so that the belligerents would become exhausted...
...great settings of sacred texts have in common, beside the absolute musical value, a respectful, sympathetic attitude towards the text. This attitude is no less religious, probably, in the Symphony of Psalms or the Beethoven Mass than in the music of the sixteenth century; it is merely different. If we allow that it is legitimate to take sacred texts like the mass and the psalms from the church service to the public concert, then we must adopt a broader, more general view of the significance of the text and the sort of setting which is appropriate...
