...lord of Europe. Whether through mistake or necessity, Hitler entrusted the destiny of the Reich to the care of the Secretary of the Communist Party, who, with some of the neatest footwork on record, simultaneously avoided becoming a war tool of the British; usurped Hitler's dominance of Central Europe; partly destroyed his Axis (by Muniching the Japanese...
Triangle. Ultimate core of Polish defense is the triangular Central Region of Industry (C. O. P.) between Cracow on the west, Lwów on the east, Lublin on the north. Into this area, guarded by highlands, served by two rivers, Poland two years ago moved her vital steel and munitions works, built power plants, at a cost...
France plans no wired wireless, no commandeering of radio apparatus. France's highly "atomized" radio system, a freestyle, non-network jumble of 27 Government and private stations, by its nature is proof against such hurts as the bombing of a central transmitter. Some standby Government transmitters have been built in remote country locations, and equipped with Diesel power units for use in case of bombed local power lines. One function of these new transmitters may be to outshout Germany's mighty, new 500-kilowatt station, pulled out of the Nazi hat two months ago by Joseph Goebbels...

At Allensville, surrounded by the rugged mountains of central Pennsylvania that hem in the fertile and tranquil Kishacoquillas Valley their ancestors settled before the Revolution, they felt perfectly at home. The 7,000 delegates came from Argentina, Tanganyika, India and all North America by a variety of conveyance from trailer to airplane, at meal times ate their fill...
...indelible mark on the U. S. economy, forcing agriculture to recognize that its continental market is gone. The new German-Russian agreement ends hope of the U. S. regaining its lost German markets for cotton and foodstuffs, may mean that U. S. trade will be squeezed out of Central Europe altogether. Germany's new economic tie-up with Russia might enable her to reduce her 1938 purchases here ($107,588,000, down from an average of $400,364,000 in 1926-30) to zero. Perhaps more important to U. S. trade was what the crisis did to the British...
