Strategy of General Gamelin's push in the Saar was to draw German troops from the Eastern Theatre to meet a threatened grand attack-or he was shrewdly waiting for the Germans to get even further into Poland before turning on the real heat. Just as France's main Maginot Line is manned by veteran regulars, with young reservists performing the attack work, so Germany's Wall is manned by 20 divisions (some 250,000 men) of the regular Land-wehr, mostly veterans of 35-45, specially trained for defense.

When the 21 independent countries of the Americas gathered at Lima last year to draw up an antitotalitarian pact, most of them were determined not to let El Hombre's delegate, Cordell Hull, run the show. Argentina in particular hemmed, took exception, offered substitute phrases. The final draft, a reluctant Argentine compromise, postulated the 21 countries' common interest, provided that in time of crisis the signatories would consult each other.

Medical Revolution. With the coming of war, almost all private medical practice ceased, for 95% of Britain's 61,000 physicians pledged their aid to the Government. Each physician who is assigned to an ambulance, first-aid post, or hospital, will draw a salary ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 a year for full-time services. All physicians remaining in private practice, and making more than their "normal" peacetime income will be required to place their surplus profits in a pool, to be divided among Army and Navy doctors at the war's end.
