Security First has been Russia's policy since strong, expansionist states grew up on either side of her. When collective security failed, the Kremlin turned to an opportunistic, but no less consistent, policy of diverting aggression elsewhere. The Non-Aggression Pact with Germany turned Germany toward other enemies, has made Russia secure from German attack through a year and a half of war. Last fortnight's pact may mean security against Japan for longer. And by last fortnight Joseph Stalin must have feared a day would come when Hitler started screaming again for the Ukraine.

In other times what was done in Vienna last week would have rocked the chancelleries of Europe, shaken bourse and market, reverberated around the world in grimmest headlines. Not so under the New Order. To Rome it was "a victory of Axis policy...
