...that sea be the Adriatic. . . . There are other seas that may interest us. . . . Treaties are transactions which represent agreements, points of equilibrium. No treaty is eternal.-so said Mussolini, dreaming of expansion in 1923. Benito Mussolini was a man in whom the imperial dream was an obsession. Italy would grow strong through Fascism, then Italy would conquer an empire. Not only bits of Africa would be hers; she would rule Mare Nostrum and its shores.

With Nazi sinkings averaging about 60% more than building of new ships by Britain and the U.S. together (TIME, April 28), ships grow more precious by the hour. In Australia and New Zealand are piled up tons of butter and cheese which England needs desperately. Attempts to move the big Australian wheat crop were abandoned several months ago for England can get its wheat by a shorter haul from Canada. Only a fraction...
