...Communists as the symbol of and signal for a nation-wide Communist revolt. Not the slightest proof of this ever materialized, the Nazis themselves assuming all power instead and using the Reichstag fire as an excuse for Chancellor Hitler's repressive acts (TIME, March 13 et seq.). Last week amid Firebug van der Lubbe's passionate protest, Judge Bunger suspended the trial for half an hour and the Dutchman was led below. When brought back into court he again seemed stupefied as in the past but suddenly began to writhe and gasp as though struggling to throw...
Apropos of the U. S.'s recently upped naval building program (TIME, July 10, et seq.) and before the British Admiralty retorted in kind (see col. 1), Lady Houston had written for her Saturday Review that Prime Minister MacDonald was "squandering millions on peace conferences" while he let the Empire's defense forces go to ruin. This was only to be expected, she slashed, from a man who, like Scot MacDonald, urged British munitions workers to strike during the War at a time when British soldiers at the front were short of shells. "How can you be secure...
Berlin's vast Sportpalast rumbled one night last week with a great gathering of the "German Christians," Nazi Wing of the Evangelical Church (TIME. June 12, et seq.). on deck to demand the super-Nazification of the Church. Their presiding officer was brisk, sleek, pomaded young Rev. Joachim Hossenfelder. Bishop of Berlin and Brandenburg.

The great plebiscite decreed by Chancellor Hitler to vindicate his withdrawal of Germany from the Disarmament Conference and resignation from the League of Nations (TIME, Oct. 23 et seq.) was on. Adolf Hitler, born an Austrian, was about to make good his audacious boast when summoned before the German Supreme Court three years ago (TIME, Oct. 6, 1930). Asked by the Court, "Are you plotting a revolution?", he snarled, "Nein!" we are merely planning an intellectual eruption of the German people...
...four years Afghanistan's hero has been her King, bespectacled, spade-bearded, ruthless Mohammed Nadir Khan. In 1929 Afghanistan was a shambles. Nadir's nephew King Amanullah, whose Western reforms so angered Afghans, had fled the capital (TIME. Dec. 24, 1928 et seq.). On the throne sat bloody Bacha Sakao, an upstart chief whose name meant "The Water Boy." Backed by the royal family's bribes of the Durani, Uncle Nadir marched on Kabul. He caught one of the Water Boy's favorite generals and his staff, boiled them all in vegetable oil. Water Boy picked...
