| Evidence: | 'I am reading with intense interest the government blue book of documents prior to the outbreak of war on September 3rd, 1939 - four years ago. And the most pessimistic prognostications as to the world scope of the war and the wholesale destruction have been fulfilled. But it is strongly heartening to read this book.' |
