...real meat of the poll, solemn re-educators of the Germans had to look farther down, where the republic's appeasing Gustav Stresemann, with 580 votes, just nosed out Adolf Hitler, who got 513. The Germans apparently did not think much of the U.S.'s greats.

A policy statement made last year says that the U.W.F. is "under no illusions concerning the character of the Soviet regime," but "there may be a chance" that the Russians will accept some sort of federation. If that...
