[By WHIM-WHAM.] “Germany wants Turkey to remain neutral so that she can act as mediator when Germany demands an armistice from Britain at the conclusion of the Russian campaign. . . . The Reich will be exhausted when -the struggle is concluded and will demand an armistice."—Herr von Papen, German Ambassador to Turkey. Adolf, when Chamberlain to Munich came, Announced: “No further territorial Aim.” Adolf, when Poland lost a lightning War, Wanted to know what we were fighting for. Pocketing the Norwegians and the Danes, Our Adolf seemed contented with his Gains, No Plan of Conquest prompted his Advance Through Belgium and the Netherlands and France. (Oh, never were Assaults so innocent, Or murderous Attacks so kindly meant!) Still proving that his only Aim was Peace, He ravaged Jugoslavia and Greece. He wept. If he’d been taken at his Word, Such dreadful Bloodshed need not have occurred! He pleaded. He h.~d only one Desire— To gather up his Winnings and retire! He’d had enough. He’d like it to be knovn, He only wanted to be left alone! No Answer? He pursued his Purpose still, To pacify the World against its Will: , “When Russia’s conquered, no more Bludgeoning! An Armistice will be the very Thing!” Silence in Moscow. Silence in Whitehall. In Washington no answer to his Call. An Armistice? Is Adolf now afraid To perish in the Wilderness he made?
