A SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT

Ribbentrop's visit to the Pope has had a curious sequel. It is announced that the education, of the youth of Germany has been put under the He is to give charge of Rosenberg. boys and girls "the spiritual and poll- tical instruction suitable for a young Nazi at the present time.”

Rosenberg is famous as the author of "The Myth of the Twentieth Cen- tury." The argument of this book is that Christianity as we know it, with its doctrine of universal love, is a horrible perversion and that Germany

From an announcement by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propa ganda:

NEUTRALITY

The theory of the laws of neutrality ia that when war breaks out between two nations, the quarrel is the affair of the combatants alone and that the consequent disturbance should be so confined as to cause as little incon- venience as possible to peaceful neigh- bours. So far as the neighbours a concerned it is, as the lawyers say, res inter alles. But this theory quite inapplicable to the present war. The fate and fortunes of neighbouring neutrals are as deeply involved in the issue as those of the combatants them- selves.
