...over to a sabre-rattling "Pilsudski Colonel" who was once the Dictator's personal adjutant, Col. Josef Beck. In his new office Col. Beck will rattle diplomatically at Berlin's rattlers, German Chancellor Franz von Papen and German Defense Minister Kurt von Schleicher.

I note that some people have accused you of being pro-Roosevelt, etc. What do they want you to do?
