"PUNCTUALITY"
+
Apparently Dr. Joe Goeb- beis nas not yet despaired of his "war of nerves"; the art and practice of "talking big" is again in full swing in the German. press over the terrifying consequences of the Dic- tators' meeting. The Ber- lin "Borsen Zeitung" is particularly formidable on paper. "The decisions taken," we are told, "will take effect with clock-like punctuality and the irre- sistible force of an ele- mental phenomenon.” But it will be noticed that no time-table has been issued to the German citi- zens patiently waiting in their air-raid shelters; there will, therefore, be no opportunity of check- ing the "clock-like punc- tuality" of the impending operations. Considering how exceedingly unpunc- tual Adolf the All-Ter- rible was in his various schedules for invading England and taking up his residence at Bucking- ham Palace, there is much. to be said for a little vagueness.
