...Russians were quick to point out that this arrangement still left the way wide open for the British and French to attend another Munich parley (for which they have no taste). In an officially inspired editorial in Izvestia, Moscow daily newsorgan, the U. S. S. R. demanded iron-clad alliances in which nothing would be left to discussion and in which Britain, France and Russia would automatically guarantee each others' borders and those of other smaller States. Said Izvestia: "Where there is no reciprocity real collaboration cannot be brought about." Badgered by the French, the British Labor Party...
...written on the Spanish war, it may well be recorded, in fact, that while the Italians made the bigger splash, the Germans got more out of it. Following the Condor Legion to Spain were German Gestapo agents, builders, contractors, businessmen. Spanish Morocco and the Basque country with their iron, became spheres of German commercial interests. Furthermore, in a future war, the Germans may be able to use the guns they have placed on Spanish territory near British-held Gibraltar, the five submarine bases they have helped build at Pasajes, El Ferrol, Villagarcia, Huelva and Malaga, the modern airports reputedly constructed...
Enter Goring. Since General Goring took control of the entire German economy in 1936, the Nazis have made some progress towards their goal of Wartime self-sufficiency in Central and Eastern Europe. Low-grade iron ores are being worked by the State-owned Hermann Goring Iron Works; by 1940 the Nazis expect that perhaps 35% of the iron consumption of Great Germany will be supplied from domestic sources. Aluminum from bauxite imported from Hungary and the Balkans is supplementing heavier metals, such as copper and nickel. Artificial rubber sufficient for 25 to 30% of the peacetime rubber requirements is being...
Welfare & Warfare. Yet, though Reich chemists are working night and day, Germany is less able today to support a long war than she was in 1914. With Lorraine gone the iron ore supply is not enough. The available soil, even including the Bohemian and what could be seized in Poland, Hungary and Rumania, is not sufficient to produce both fodder crops for the cattle and breadstuffs, sugar beets, potatoes, vegetables, flax and hemp for the 152,300,000 population of a Middle European empire. Intensive grain cultivation operations are now being set up in East Prussia, but most...
...earnest, honest Lou Gehrig, the sort of player managers dream about, made a fetish of his endurance record. Eclipsed by his colorful, temperamental teammate Babe Ruth, plodding Lou Gehrig felt that his drawing power was his dependability rather than his brilliance. When, at spring training camp this year, the Iron Horse suddenly realized that he was getting rusty, panic overtook him. He brooded, became tense at bat. Sportswriters, viewing his feeble performance, wrote his batting obituary-for all the world to read - before the season started...
