Wildly though the Munich throng of 300,000 Germans cheered Adolf Hitler, and plain though it had become that Germany was back on the "Me und Gott" standard of exiled Kaiser Wilhelm, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin still remained irresolute. Britain's Ambassador to Germany, Sir Eric Phipps, "almost begged" Realmleader Hitler to send a delegation to London unconditionally. Instead the Destiny-guided Realmleader came back with another slap. As his price for sending a delegation to London he asked Britain to get from all nations concerned promises that they will make Adolf Hitler's terms the basis...

His more spiteful enemies said that during this illness "the writer died although the man recovered." One critic yearned publicly for the time "when the rudyards cease from kipling." But it was not to come for 37 years. During the World War that which had been Imperial England was bled until there were such things as a Labor Cabinet, a British General Strike, a Depression and 11,000,000 British votes for the League of Nations...
