 It was said in official circles that Rumania was reconciled to these concessions ah tse most effective means of preventing the spread of communism through the Balkans and insuring the maintenance of peace.
 Diplomatic quarters interpreted this viewpoint as tending to con- firm reports that Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, not having op- posed Russia's occupation of Bes- sarabia and Northern Bukovina and its absorption of the baltic repub- lies, had now decided to build a barrier against further expansion westward by Russia, and to this end were asking the cooperation of all Danubian states.
 A barrier against Russian ex- pansion would insure German eco- homie domination in this area. It was reported that in order to make sure of a supply of oil and grains frem Rumania Germany intended to make every effort to settle the Balkan territorial disputes.
 It was reported that as the result Of the visit of Premier Ion Girgutl and Foreign Minister Mihail Manoi- leocu to Adalf Hitler the Rumanian government position had been strengthened internally because tlrsre was the prospect that the big army could be materially demobilized

 q conference with the king is GUS tonary procedure for governor assuming a new appointment. All official quarters said they had no knowledge of any plan for the duke to visit here.
 One unofficial source said, how ever, that it was almost certain" that the duke would come here and that 1t was entirely conceivable that he would be accompanied by the duchess. The duchess's ability to perform her social duties in the Ba- hanas would be largely dependent on her ready acceptance by the British colony there.
