...where are supplies of oil which Germany and Italy need to fight a long world war. Conquest of the Near East would further two other objectives: 1) force the Suez gateway to the Mediterranean; 2) flank Russia on the south. As Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini and Foreign Ministers Joachim von Ribbentrop and Count Galeazzo Ciano finished a luncheon of lobster salad, saluted one another and went their respective ways, all signs pointed to an early drive...

The battle lines were now clearly drawn between free capitalism and autarchy, between the semi-democracies and the totalitarians, between what Publisher Howard called the Have Gots and the Have Nots. Against the 250,000,000 people Joachim von Ribbentrop boasted of, the British Empire and China had 959,000,000. The U. S. and South America had another 200,000,000.
