ALL BLCODS MIXED The virtues of the blood, he said, had been believed in from time immemorial, Jew and Genâ€" tile, Greek and Barbarian, British and others, but science and hisâ€" tory had backed the statement of St. Paul that "God has made of one blood, all nations . . ." For the Christian Church for one mirâ€" ute to adopt this thecry of race superiority would be denouncing Paul and Paul‘s master, Christ, he said. "There does not exist in the world any pure race, and the Germans are a mixture of races with very little Nordic in them," he repeated.

GIBRALTAR MENACED On the other hand, an Axis push in the Spanish peninsula was not altogother unlookedâ€"for. â€" London diplomatic commentators suggested that Hitler might send troops to Spain to attack Gibraltar in an atâ€" tempt to cut British communicaâ€" tions into the Mediterrancean. They expressed the belief that the fall of France and the German occupaâ€" tion of the French side of the Spanâ€" ish frontier had completely swung General Franco over to the side of Germany and Italy. The Madrid newspaper Alcazar hinted at a posâ€" sible Spanish attempt to selze Gibâ€" raltar. "The rock has lost almost all its strategic value," the paper contended. "From the Moroccan coast or from the nearby mountâ€" ains, Gibraitar could be shelled mercilessly and effectively." oUST "MUNICH MEN"! During the week wild rumors went the rounds of peace negotiaâ€" tions between Britain and Gerâ€" Fear of the conflict spreading all throughout the entire Balkan area was largely discounted last week. Russia had Bulgaria and Yugoslavâ€" ia pretty well in hand. Greeco was frightened. Hungary was being held back by German desire to keop If so, might he not be getting ready now to attack first, catching Gerâ€" many at an unprepared moment, exhausted from battle in the west? The centre of crisis in Europe last week shifted overnight from west to east. The imminent invasâ€" ion of Britain by Hitler‘s hordes was relegated to the background of the world‘s attention by the swiftâ€" moving @vents in the Balkans that changed the shape of the conflict between Britain and Germany, enâ€" dowing it with an entirely new set _ of possibilities. To many, the Sovâ€" let success in Rumania meant that it would be in the east that: Hitler might meet his final defeat. THE VITAL STRAITS The small agricultural province of Bessarabia was seen as of little importance to the immense Soviet Union. Rather the significance of its seizure lay in the strategic new position Russia was enabled to acâ€" quire thereby â€" the Reds were now encamped along the vital Danube, right in line for cutting off Gerâ€" many‘s Rumanian oil supply; they had stolen a march on Hitler in the direction of the Dardanelles, and could easily gain ‘control of those straits which are the key to the. east. MIGHT BEAT HITLER TO IT From a certain â€" wellâ€"informed quarter in Washington came the prediction that the war would shift eastward in September with a headâ€" on clash between Germanyâ€"â€" and Russia. Would Britain first be blitzkrieged? Or would Hitler spare the British Isles in view of the new threat in the east? Did Stalin expect to be the next Axis victim? Mr. and Mrs. Robert L.
