Under his leadership much good work has already been done for the better understanding of national character and. thought in other countries. The present pamphlet, which may well make British hearts beat higher, is at the opposite pole of composition from propaganda; it aims at cffect by truth of fact, and will succeed.
It should be widely translated. A conflict of the present vast magnitude involves GO many particular issues that all nations are at times apt to see parts rather than the whole. Lord Lloyd keeps in a clear light be- fore his readers the real chal- lenge, the cause for which the Crusade, is being fought and must be fought out to victory. The famous dictum of Acton, most learned of Catholle his- torians, that liberty is not the chief but the only political end, he puts in the forefront of his interpretation of Britain, and his conclusion is that not frontiers nor systems, but free- dom is what we fight to ca- tablish.

It is this: Could Germany break through the, Swiss defence system, If she tried?
M. Philip Etter, the President, was quite emphatic on this point. So, too, were the officers of the General Staf, the porter who car- ried my bag up to my hotel bed- room, and the citizen soldier who displayed for my inspection the military kit and ammunition which every Bwiss keeps safe and dry in his own home.

"How long would it take you to mobilise?" I asked a stocky farmer. "Well," he replied," when the bell rings in the village I shall run home and put on my uniform. Half an hour, perhaps, and I shall be ready. And it would be the same with the others."

To a depth of ten miles from the frontiers every man between the ages of 20 and 60 has precise and exact knowledge of what he has to do at the Arst threat of invasion.
This preparedness. to the last detall, is the most impressive thing about the Swiss military organisa- tion.
Long, long ago Bwitzerland was deluded by the bellef that security followed automatically policy of non-aggression.
That was when, after a long
upon ກ
period of forelin military adven- tures, she drew up the famous Pact of Perpetual Neutrality, in 1515.
During the Napoleonic wars neutrality did not save the country, It was
overrun and ruined by foreign armies. Bwitzerland took
the lesson to heart,
On 31 August, 1914, when the same danger threatened from another quarter, Switzerland had mobilised 220,000 men in defence of her territory, She maintained 100,000 on her frontier until the Armistice.
In other words, the preserved her And neutrality by defending it. that is her present policy.
To-day, Switzerland can put half a million highly-trained men into the field, and half that number in reserve. Upon this army to date she has spent 1.000.000.000 Bwiss francs, or around £50,000,000,
The Swiss army is unlike any other in Europe. In the first place its training is based entirely on the proposition that its task can never be other than the defence of Swiss coll.
Military service starts for all at 20, with a four months' spell of intense training. Thereafter, until 32, the citizen-soldier puts in three weeks' compulsory training a year until, at 48, he passes to the reserve.

Hitler's
Long Knife
IF I set out to choose a villain.
for a "penny dreadful" I would. pick on Dr. Frank, Nazi Reich. Minister of Justice, who is now Governor-General for the Polish territories oceupled by Germany..
The man who will now administer Hitler's terror over the Poles is the ideal combination of Prussian impu- dence, and American Gangsterdom, which make up Nazism.
This is not a far-fetched compari- son because Dr. Frank started out os criminal lawyer in Berlin's East End. Only when the Nazi party in its most. riotous period provided most of the murderera, law-breakers, and plain: gangsters in pre-Hitler Germany did. young Dr. Frank switch over to poll tics.
He specialised in political murders' and other crimes committed by members of the Nazi party.
Frank defended his Nazi clients very ably. He is a good orator, and he has a certain "personal"appeal." with straight, dark hair brushed Immaculately dressed, clean-shoven, back, he looks almost a gentle-
" man.'
When Hitler came into power Frank was first made Commissar for Justice in Bavaria, and later Bavari- an Minister Justice. Soon he gained for himself a reputation as the first Nozi leader to shock the; world.
That was when the Reichstag, un- der Hiller, still contained. Sociallat. M.P.4. During a debate, Frank, pre- forring force to argument, thrust President Loebe, one of Germany's most distinguished Parliamentarians, from his seat and took his place. The scene created a sensation.
Then Frank ventured out into the field of international politics. To the Austrian Nazis, with whom the Austrian Government was then en- gaged in a deadly struggle, he scat. out messages of encouragement. Next he decided to go to Vienna himself "to attend a jurists'. gather- Ing."
The Austrian Government, through- Its Ambassador, explained in Berlin that Frank's visit would not be ap- preciated, und politely asked whether the turbulent Nazi Minlater could. not stay at home.
But that did not stop. Frank,
I shall never forget the hour of hia arrival. The Austrian Nazis de- cided on a demonstration of welcome. The Austrian Government, on the other hand, had prepared a different reception for Frank.
As soon as he stepped from his plane at the Vienna aerodrome, a high Austrian police offcial met him and expressed to him the Austrian. Government's opinion that "his visit was highly unwelcome and was re- garded as very inopportune.

Frank blushed; then all colour loff Ils face. But he rallied, and with an angry gesture stepped to his car. Since that day he has been used by Hitler as an agent-provocateur. He sent out messages to illegal Nazi parties everywhere. He threatened Governments of weak Staten with Hitler or destruction.
