of isolation. The first time was in mid-October, 1933, when Herr Hitler suddenly announced the withdrawal of National Socialist Germany from the League of Nations. For months it had been clear to every careful and experi- enced, observer that this 'decision was coming. When it came, the press and the public and even the Government in Great Britain were profoundly shocked and surprised.

The British Broadcasting Corporation gave an almost panic-stricken' account of the event. I was asked to write : upon it by a leading Sunday newspaper, and treated it as something logical, na- tural, and inevitable.

So shocked was that journal because I declined to be shocked that my rela- tions with it ceased. And my name went to the top of the British Broad- casting Corporation's "black list" of prohibited broadcasters because I criti- cised in public the panic-stricken an- nouncement that had been issued,
