...Nations, the cynicism of Sir Eric in converse with fellow diplomats at Rome last week was piquant to those who had known him only at Geneva. No man could say that "the deal" would be consummated, for all human endeavor is fallible, and with the heaviest naval concentration since Jutland jamming the Mediterranean this week, the fate of Europe was clearly at the mercy of an incident...
Naval experts called Britain's continued Naval demonstration in the Mediterranean last week the world's greatest massing of sea power since the Battle of Jutland. From Gibraltar the colossal British war boats Hood and Renown had moved down last week to Alexandria within shooting distance of the Suez Canal, supported by 14 squadrons of British battle planes on the aircraft carriers Glorious and Courageous.

Because the peninsula of Jutland turns a sandy, treacherous, sparse backbone to the North Sea (see map), Danes from the earliest times have concentrated in the Baltic islands. Copenhagen, the capital, and Hamlet's Elsinore (now an important rail and ferry junction for Sweden and Norway) are on the largest island, Zealand. A large proportion of the fish, butter, eggs and bacon that are Denmark's chief products come from the island of Fünen. Danish motor roads are excellent, railroads (50% government-owned, the rest...
