...prophets were not dopesters and gossips. So many well-informed foreign correspondents were aware of the situation (TIME, Nov. 14, 1938, et seq.) that it looked as if the only people who had not known just what was going to happen were the statesmen of England and France. Soon after Munich, Gilbert Redfern, Warsaw correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph, predicted: "Within a year or so we will see a Russian-German tie-up, or Russia will retire to her fastnesses," and the New York Time's Walter Duranty wrote: "There is no reason to believe that Russia would...

...constitute a first-line of defense against enemy war-boats far at sea off either coast from bases far inland. Yet the same go-easy policy prevails as when the "flying fortress" squadron (2nd Bombardment Group) which circled South America last year was ordered to erase its motto, Mors et Destructio ("Death and Destruction"), from its coat-of-arms. The bomber boys wonder if the higher-ups would like them to adopt the motto "Love and Kisses...
