Thus matters have stood, with General and Frau Ludendorff penning and printing tracts against the Jews and especially against Christians, their piety being reserved for Germany's "Old Gods" such as Wotan. Last week Dictator Hitler sat down and talked with General Ludendorff. They talked for two hours and next day the whole Nazi press erupted with joy, quoting such wise sayings of the General as : "I am not only an opponent of Christianity but really anti-Christian and a heathen, and I am proud of it! At this moment we Germans have almost freed ourselves from the teachings...
When the curtain rises on Wagner's Götterdämmerung (Dusk of the Gods), three Norns are spinning the dark threads of Wotan's fate.

In Russia the worried Bolsheviks consider themselves likely objects of Japanese and German pincers closing upon Russia in simultaneous war from East and West (TIME. Feb. 24). The prostrate Chinese as they scanned the news from Tokyo this week remained particularly prostrate, a comfortable posture in which they await Japanese bankruptcy, Japanese proletarian revolution, Japanese defeat by Russia or the decay of Japanese from temperamental instability in a few hundred or thousand years...
