...Although the Prize Prisoner protested that his health is quite good enough for him to go to Norway and receive the $40,000 which the Nobel Committee wants to give him as a slap at Dictatorship (TIME, Dec. 7), Nazi newsorgans stated firmly that Nazi doctors do not think Pacifist von Ossietzky, whom they call a "traitor to Germany," can leave the sanatorium to which he was hustled from a Nazi prison camp when he seemed about to get the Prize...
...because Carl von Ossietzky is a Pacifist, not forgetting that during the War he fought bravely for Germany, but unwilling to forgive him for having published in 1929-three years before Adolf Hitler came to power-an article accusing the German Army of spending too much money, the Nazis in 1933 jugged Carl von Ossietzky in a prison camp.

Ailing in a Berlin hospital after spending three years in Nazi concentration camps, von Ossietzky declined to comment on his award, which infuriated Adolf Hitler...
...regard to the letter in "The Mail" of November 9, written by Mr. Lakeman: he states that he is a pacifist because he would rather spend taxes on schools and other internal improvements than on supporting a very modern army. But how are the schools and other internal affairs to be protected from outside invasion? Does he want us to become a country of pacifitsts, a ripe plum of easy picking for any other country in the world today? The leading American statesmen of today realize that isolation is no longer sufficient to keep us out of European politics...
