Finally Hitler, exasperated threw up his arms and ordered them all out of the room. But Wiedemann stayed behind, and finally persuaded his chief to delay the march into Czechoslovakia at least until the fall of 1938—which was done. Later, it was Wiedemann and the moderates who persuaded Hitler to receive Chamberlain ‘and Daladier at Munich. But by this time it was too late for Ambassador Dieckhoif to tell his story. Ribbentrop never forgave Wiege- mann for this. Also his vaunting ambition would permit no rival close to Hitler. So, shortly thereafter, he got Wiedemann transferred to a distant and relatively unimportant German consulate in U. S. A. Later when Wiedemann was deported from this country, it is significanct that Ribbentrop once again transferred Al him as far as possible from Berlin —this time to Tientsin, China. He remained in Berlin only two or three days. The Foreign Minister of Germagy wants no moderates, around his leadex. NOTE: . During the last war Wiedemann was ‘a lieutenant with the 16th Bavarian Infantry and one day, while retreating under fire, the debris of a crumbling building fell on one of his men, burying him The young lieutenant leaped back, and despite heavy shell fire, pulled the man out.

AMERICA FIRST'S ORDERS Inside reason for the secret pow- | iwow of Congressional isolationists, the day after the President’s special message, was to get the party line cue from the America First Com- mittee on how to vote on arming merchant ships. 1 The information was delivered by | John T. Flynn, the committee’s prin- cipal mouthpiece on Capitol Hill. Flynn didn't cut any corners in lay- ing down the line against any change in the Neutrality law. “A vote to arm merchant ships.” he declared, “is a vote to get this country into war. The America First Committee is opposed to this or any other revision of the Neutrality . | All but one of the sixty Sel and. House members present el concurred or kept silent. Amazingly, the one dissenter was one of Am- erica Firstls most vociferous support- ers—Representative Ham Fish, The | New York declared he favored arm- ing merchantmen, provided they “remain in neutral waters.” Another conflict arose when Sen- ator Robert Taft of Ohio, who acted as chairman, announced that he planned to vote for the $5,895,000,000 lend-lease bill. Senator Bob La- Follette jumped to his feet. “I'll have to take issue with you on that, Mr. Chairman,” snapped the Wisconsinite. “I intend to op- pose every piece of legislation the Administration offers on foreign pol- icy from now on. They're all cal- culated to get us into war. I'm going to be against everything.” “That goes for me, too,” loudly echoed Senator Bennett Clark, Mis- | souri’s bitter-end isolationist. - ] NOTE: Among ‘those who todk*a’ prominent part in arranging Y.he, isolationist pow-wow were Senators | Nye, Bulow of South Dakota, Buuerl of Nebraska, Taft, LaFollette, Clark, and Representative Knute Hill o(l te mixture of newsprint. r are ample supplies of newsprint, those fancy wrappings and elaborate cardboard containers are scheduled to disappear for the duration. Where they don’t disappear entirely, sub- stitutes will take their place. Reason is a growing shortage of paper and cardboard. Fifty-three per cent of all paperboard is now going to defense industries and ‘the amount is increasing. To meet the situation, Norbert McKenna, New York banker, brought into OMP by Raw Materials Chief William Batt, has ordered ‘drugl chemical, cosmetic and soap manufacturers drastically to reduce the use of cardboard containers. Hardest hit by the paper short- age are manufacturers of what the trade calls “aesthetic” wrappings, which have Jho utilitarian purpose but do have a very persuasive eye appeal. These manufacturers have been advised to use lighter grades of paperboard boxes, containing a So far there though if the war extends into 1943 or ‘44, the size of newspapers also may have to be cut. To spread available paperboard supplles for non-defense industries, the Army, at McKenna's suggestion, has changed its* specifications on cardboard containers for hand gren- ades, permitting the use of a lighter grade mixed with newsprint pulp. Paper production this year wfll be around 16,000,000 tons. Next ‘year, with Canadian output due to go up, the total is estimated at 18,000,000 tons. But even this will not be enough to go around without heavy cuts in non-defense fields. NOTE: The British have cut their paper consumption to 25 per cent of pre-war levels.
