The Dardanclles - gateway be-

Mediterranean-is one of the most
important strategic positions III
the Eastern Hemisphere. and per-
hapS in the world. 1t has been the
battle zone of many centuries.
Control of this waterway has been.
and still is, coveted by many
powers. and the one historic aim
of traditional Russian policy. Any
real threat against it, therefore

The Nazi occupation of Bulgaria,
together with Turkeys closing
mining and guarding of the Oar
danelles during the past week,
register the beginning of the most
recent chapter in the ever-Spread
ing continental European conflict.
How this Balkan episode will end
no one can yet predict. Whatever
happens. however, will have a
most important bearing on future
operations, both on land and sea,
and will have a marked effect on
the outcome of the war.
The peaceful capitulation OF
Bulgaria to Germany's mechanical
legions adds one more scalp to
Hitler'S already long belt OF
"bloodless European Victories

the diplomacy of fear and
threats of being crushed he has
used against his small, weak and

it is an official indication thai

This is the first time that the
powers granted by the MontreuN
convention of 1886 have been in

that she considers herselfgeither
