That is exactly what has hap

The mutual esteem between Hit

Machiavellianism, is of the same
brand.
With Spain and Japan, both of

pull down the democratic powers
assigned in Hitler's megalomaniac
schemes for world domination, the
Nazi leader seems to have failed.

breath h-taking to witness how faith
fully and consistently the scheme

Hitler-Rosenberg dream Germany"
was composed of a west central
German Reich with appended
sections or dominions," 'protecto-
rates." and federation" The
central Reich was to include all the
Germanic areas of the West, two
thirds of Switzerland, Alsace-Lor-
raine, Luxembourg, Holland, the
Flemish parts of Belgium and north
ern France.
Austria, zecho-Slovakia and
Hungary were to form south

garding racial gospel and thus prob
ably receiving the fate of serfs.
Yugoslavia, Rumania and Bulgaria
were to form Balkan protectorates."

enfeoffed area under NaI sovereign

First Leak in Scandinavia.
In Scandinavia is seen the first
leak so far in Hitler's pursuit of
that ambitious dream elaborated by
the Bait, Alfred Rosenberg In
deed, the Russian-born and fanati-
cally anti-Bolshevik pope of national
Socialism wept bloody tears, over
the compromise with his "arch-
enemy" engineered by his personal
antagonist and more lucky rival,
Foreign Minister Won Ribbentrop.
For not only had Finland to be
left out of Germany's mapped-out
conquests, but Rosenberg's own
homelands, the Baltic states, Lith-
uania, Latvia and Estonia, claimed
as Germanys Baltic dominion"
had to be handed over as Moscows
sphere of influence. Worst of all
if with mental reservation-the
planned "Ukrainian dominion" had
to be abandoned-for the time be-
ing.
This latter dominion, reaching as
far as the Black Sea and the Sea
of Azov, as large as Germany
proper and with some 45,000,000
inhabitants, had been meant as
the future granary of greater Ger
many, and, If nothing else, its
mapped-out confines ought to have
opened Poland's eyes in time. For
in order to connect that dominion
with the Reich, the Ukrainian parts
of Poland, from the Carpathian
Mountains to the swamps of Pripet,
were cut off in the Hitler-Rosen-
berg map.
Plan Still Stands.
With the exclusion OF these con-
cesSions to Soviet Russia-the high
price paid for the surprise Soviet
German pact of August 26, 1879
the plan still stands, and so does
even the secret time table appended
to it. Hints as to this time table
were obtained when, during the re
volt" of the Sudeten Germans in
1938-a ruthlessly and cleverly en-
gineered part of the fifth column"
campaign that was the mainstay of
the Nazi system long before the
Nazis started conquering other coun-
tries than Germany-variations of
the map of conquest" were found.
These variations were somewhat
cruder and even more ambitious,
leaving finally around 1945 nothing
of Europe outside German hands
except what was assigned to Italy
rs the price for her assistance. The
dates were: March, 1898, for Aus
tria; March, 1888, for Czecho-
Slovakia; March, 1910, for Holland,
Belgium, Switzerland and France.
