...arranged the Yugoslav rapprochement with Russia. Russia's position gave the Allies one patch of comfort in the mottled quilt of European power politics last week. German occupation of Denmark and Norway, making the Baltic once more a German lake, was hardly calculated to increase the security of Leningrad, for which Russia has just fought one costly war. Since Germany went into Norway, shipment of Russian materials to Germany has slowed down, through inefficiency, misroutings, losses and other deeply regretted causes.

Most important of these took place nine years ago in London (TIME, Aug. 18, 1930, et seq.), five years ago in Leningrad. Last week, in Manhattan's onetime Union Club building, the U.

Let those talk who like to talk." Across the Baltic in Stockholm, Dr. Juho Paasikivi...
...other obvious reason for Swedish nonintervention: Stockholm is within very easy bombing distance of Berlin as well as Leningrad. Last week a curious deal was reported arranged between Sweden and Germany. Premier Hansson's Government agreed to buy all the arms of Swedish make and pattern which Germany captured in Poland. Germans had no use for guns of a different type from their own. What made the deal curious was that the only imminent use Sweden could make of them would be against Germany's ally Russia...
