...Union. What they want is neutrality. (Denmark last week signed with Germany a non-aggression pact which, in Copenhagen, was hailed as a certificate of neutrality.)

In that case, since they are border buffers, Soviet Russia would want them defended whether the States themselves agreed or not. The Foreign Commissar used the same line of argument in objecting to the Aland (pronounced o-land) Islands fortifications now planned by Sweden and Finland. The islands...
