It's recognized that Der Fuehrer
undoubtedly did all the actual de-
Gliding but the surmise is that he
chose to let the report come out
through II Duces press, perhaps
TO initiate his extremely junior part

Besides the Japanese considera-

The Japs, though, have given

There's nothing definite, but hints

They Licked Russia Once
The Japs don't like the Rus

They're not so sure they could do

The ideal arrangement for Japan
