rushed to renew diplomatic relations
with the Soviet.
The Turkish foreign minister Is
on his way to Moscow to discuss
some sort of agreement. Turkey
has been in Hitler's trade corral
along with the Balkan states, and
also has defensive agreement with
Britain. Only couple of years ago
turkey was struggling its shoulders
at Moscow.
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia Follow.
Bulgaria, which had been sliding
down Hitler's cellar-door in the most
friendly fashion, is reported to be
about to make a trade pact with
Russia.
The great Yugoslavia, which hasn't
had diplomatic relations with Mos
COW, is said to be opening them up.
The virtual ruler of Yugoslavia,
Prince Regent Paul, has been bit
ter foe of Communism. His mother
was a high-born Russian and many
of her family lost their lives in the
Bolshevist revolution.
Hitler probably is wondering
whether he wasn't in fact a good
prophet when he wrote "Mein
Kampf." However, the Nazi chief
| tain is too sstute not to have had
his eyes open when he started to
swap horses with Stain. Hitler's
problem now, in the view of many
observers, is to figure out whether
if he wins the war from the allies
he may not lose it to Russia.

Once more the hopes Of the allies
to draw Italy into their fold are
being dashed.
Reports from Rome indicate that
Mussolini has almost" made up his
mind to join his Berlin confederate
when the Fuehrer decides to strike
violently against France and Britain.
For while, after the war broke
out, there was ground to believe that
Mussolini, following the strong in
clinations Of the italian people,
would maintain a friendly neu-
trality towards the allies, neutrality
which would enable the French to
withdraw the major portion of their
troops from the Alps and from
Africa.
One Of the principal reasons why
the allies believed that Italy could
be had was that the italian nation
as a whole has many more points of
contact in common with the
French and greater consideration
for the British than it has for the
Germans and the Russians. While
Mussolini was following an expan-
sionist policy, he made pacts with
anybody who was ready to help him.
But after the war broke out, it was
believed that II Duce might con-
slider at least maintaining a friendly
neutrality.
y i \
1t appears now, however, that the
lightning success of the German
armies in Poland has definitely
changed the mind of the Italian
dictator and only immediate spec
tacular reverses of the Germans
might change his heart again.
Annoyed at Peace Reception.
Mussolini is reported to be an
noyed at the refusal of the allied
governments to listen to his peace
proposals which besides providing
peace for Europe on the German
terms, also dashed II Duce's hope oi
getting something for nothing ir
Africa.
Hitler is reported as planning 8
desperate attack against the allies

on French and British unprepared-
