It could now happen in- stead that Germany and the Allies might enter upon a long and ex- hausting war, the conclusion of which would find Russia sitting on top of the pile. What Friend-Lip Accomplished Taking advantage of the new non-aggression pact with Germ- any, the Soviety Union has been able to make herself impregnuble in the west. Poland's eastern for. tifieations have fallen into Russian hands; the Baltic Sea has come un- der Russian control; the Balkan states have been brought within Russia's orbit. But of special im- portance at the moment is the fact that Hitler's way to the Ukraine has been blocked. What war couldn't do in this case, friendship' has accomplished. Hitler has been stopped in the east, but not by the means or methods the world ex- pected. “Mister, don't. tell the - police one another and clean up orlilii other, leavipg the rest of the world e. v- "n. _.".-.- an“ DIIVCPIe We know what Germany's strat- egy was-to force a peace on the Allies following the swift conquest of Poland, and if peace were not acceptable, to commence air at- tacks on all British shipping, raids over French and British industrial centres.

The biggest diplomatic develop- ments of the past few weeks have come as a result of the shifting of the balance of power in Europe from Great Britain (who has held it for over a century) to Russia. Such a drastic change meant, among other things, that the con- tingency has to be left out of the present picture that Germany and Russia might go to war against per of the British end French peo~ plea, the fate of the Neutrality Act in the United States, Italy's reluctance to be involved in war, Germany's serious internal econ- omic condition. (The Fourth Par- tition of Poland handed twenty million or so Poles to Germany without a proportionate amount of agricultural products to feed them; to Russia went the greater part of Poland's wheat, barley, oat, sugar-beet-producing areas, and most of the cattle and sheep). Major factors in the situation then as we saw it were Russia's diplomatic moves, the attitude of the British Government, the tem- As the European war drew to- ward the close of its fifth week, events on the military, the diplo- matic and the propaganda fronts hinged upon the seceptance or re.. jection by Great Britain and France of Adolf Hitler’s project- ed peace. Could the Fuehrer, with the help of Mussolini and the im., plied backing of the Soviet Union, swing it? What if he should offer to abdicate as head of the German state? Would the war develop from a gigantic "shadow-boxing" affair (as many people believed it to be) on the Western Front, into a hideous eonfliet involving most of the world, or would hostilities cease for the present to be follow.. ed perhaps in a few short months by worse crises, more horrible war?
