...Friends of the Soviet Union assembled at Ford Hall last night. He remarked cryptically that "Ham Fish represented the Pilgrim Fathers, and would have served his country a great deal better if he had kept playing football instead of going into politics." He intimated that Hearst had cooperated with Hitler in attacking the Soviet Union...
...Germany rearming as fast as her patriotic zeal and scientific ingenuity will permit. It is impossible to give much credence to the several statements and speeches issuing from the Foreign Office that the reason for the rearming is purely peaceful. The fact of the matter seems to be that Hitler is intent upon putting into effect several of the plans which readers of his book considered too fantastic ever to be seriously considered.

She is definitely alarmed by Hitler's disarmingly frank disregard of Treaty obligations; she does not trust him for a moment, and would be only too happy to enter into any pact which gave her a certain ally in the event of German invasion...
