Until this was learned, the steps
taken by Germany to assume con-

by strategical considerations only.
But there is another aspect to the
whole undertaking. The European

economic unit and put in readiness
to wage what is likely to prove a
protracted war against the Western
Hemisphere unless more foodstuffs

the German conquerors and schem-
ers. To fulfill that preliminary con-
dition, two sets Of arrangements
must be framed-frst, with Soviet
Russia; second, with France.
