kind might lead to serious compli-
cations. And then there is the prac-
teal consideration that, put to ar
actual test, such an alliance, squeezed
in between two ruthless and aggres-
sive powers like Russia and Germany
would not and could not be very
effective. Should Stain and Hitler
between themselves decide to de-
Stroy the alliance, resistance would
not last long.
Southeastern Europe.
For the time being, northwestern
Europe is out of the picture. Fin
land has been subdued, and the rest
of the North is scared
But there is southeastern Europe
that is, the Balkan states, more espe-
cially Roumania. Here Great Brit
tain and France on one side have
been eXerting tremendous pressure
and here Germany is renewing pres
sure, for King Carols realm is i'm
portant not only for strategic rea-
sons but also as source of supplies
notably oil-needed very much by
the three belligerent powers.
Right now Hitler is doing all he
can to secure monopoly on Rou-
manian friendship and goods, and
judging from the latest accounts, he
is on his way to success. If he at
tains it, it will be another bad blow
to Great Britain and France.
Military Aspects.
Their war against Germany has
until now been largely a diplomatic
one, and they have had to suffer
several humiliations on that front
In regard to the military aspects,
there is still lack of activity. The
other day there was, however, re-
newed German bombing of British
warships at Scapa Flow-with major
results, the Germans claim, and of no
significance, the British insist-but
otherwise the situation remains as
undisturbed as it has done for sew
eral months. In that fact some peo-
pie profess to read an indication that
possible peace talks may not neces-
Sarily be in vain.
