Under his leadership much good work has already been done for-the-botter understanding of and national character 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 effect by truth of fact, and will succeed.

It should be widely translated. A conflict of the present vast magnitude involves particular issues that all nations are at times apt to see parts Lord rather than the whole. 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 Catholic hig- torians, that liberty is not the chief but the only political end, he puts in the forefront of his interpretation of Britain, and not his conclusion is that frontiers nor systems, but free- dom is what we fight to ea- tablish. Once that is done, enduring peace may be added unto it. Until the redemption of freedom no peace plans can avall,

WITZERLAND has manned her defences, in spite of the fact that Germany has given her a pledge that she will not violate Bwiss neutrality. The precaution which Switzer- land has taken is a natural one: for the fate of Belgium has not been forgotten.
Recently I visited Switzerland to and out how anxious her people wern about their proximity to a vast aggressive State.

It is this: Could Germany break through the Swiss defence system. If she tried?
M. Phillp Etter, the President, was quite emphatic on this point. Bo, too, were the officers of the General Staff, 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 Swiss keeps safe and dry in 'his own home. -
Switzerland, it la clear, has both the will and the military means to bar the passage of any enemy who ventures to violate her peace-con- scerated soll.
But even more than upon her men.
Switzerland relies upon her mountains for her defence.

"How lone would it take you to mobilize?" I asked a stocky "Well," he replied, "when farmer, 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 first threat of invasion.
This preparedness, to the last detail, 13 the most impressive thing about the Swiss military organiza- ton.
Long, long ago Switzerland was deluded by the belief that security followed automatically upon polley of non-aggression,

In other words, she preserved her neutrality by defending it. And that is her present polley.
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 sho has spent 1,000,000,000 Svis francs, or around £50,000,000.

IF I set out to choose a villain for a "penny dreadfal" I would. pick on Dr. Frank, Nazi Reich Minister of Justice, who is now Governor-General for the Polish territories occupied by Germany.

This is not a far-fetched comparl- son because Dr. Frank started out as criminal lawyer in Berlin's East End, Only when the Nazi party in its most riotous period provided most of the murderers, law-breakers, and plain gangsters in pre-Hitler Germany did poli- young Dr. Frank switch over to tics.

Frank defended his Nazi clients vory_ably. He is a good orator, and he has a certain personal appeal. Immaculately dressed, clean-shaven, with straight, dark hair brushed back, he looks "almost a gentle- man."
