Super-Secret. At Paris, in wartime, any French statesman who made such speeches as Darnley, Arnold and Chichester reeled off last week would find his career ended amid shouts of "Traitor!" In phlegmatic London, the sensation in the Lords effectively diverted public curiosity from what happened that same night in the House of Commons, which held its first secret session of World...
...eight hours a day. Most familiar voice from Germany, to most British listeners, speaks daily from Zeesen in exaggerated pip-pip English, caning British high-ups and war policies; deploring the blockade with: "Rehly, you British, it isn't manlah!"

Most objectors, however, were broken at the wheel...
...both of which were in the news last week are Wang Ching-wei and Wang Chung-hui. Their owners would make as ill-fitting an interchange as the triggers of a crossbow and a Mauser. Wang Chung-hui is a patriot, Wang Ching-wei a traitor. Patriot Wang is naive, legalistic, bureaucratic, in office (Foreign Minister). Traitor Wang is sophisticated, old-style, political, out of office (onetime Premier, waiting to become Japan's super-puppet...
