Finland's Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Mannerheim dropped in last week on a noted acquaintance. Adolf Hitler, at the Führer's field headquarters somewhere in Shangrila. In Berne and Berlin (but not in Helsinki) the meeting was billed as a return visit, for Hitler had dropped in last month on the Baron's 75th birthday party in Helsinki (TIME, June 15) to give him the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle and have a little talk.

The Axis says a nation is the product of blood and soil and a roaring Führer. The Democrats of Britain say a nation is made of a stable pound, good public schools and a lot of people making a lot of dollars between making a lot of whoopee. Is India a nation by any of these tests...
