In its rearming, the United States gives plain notice to totalitarian nations that it will not buy peace “at any price” and that the question of peace or war, in the future depends largely upon their attitude to the rights Inlerests and liberties of our people.

It is very unlikely that any official made such a complaint or that Germany regards the present depredations of the bug as the results of British acts, Tmmnediately after the complaint was voiced a famous scientist revealed that the Colorado beetle or potato bug has been a pest in Germany for many years, Accordingly, it is very unlikely that British aviators would bother to introduce a few more.
