...speech had the blunt, threatening, direct, totalitarian touch so typical of the masters of Berchtesgaden and Rome, whom the Foreign Minister has several times visited. He hailed the "new era" that Nazi Germany had brought to Eastern Europe. He gloated over the "collapse of an artificially created Czechoslovakia." He sneered at onetime President Eduard Benes of Czecho-Slovakia and resented what he called M. Benes' renewed "propaganda and activities." As for neighbors...

Rumanians thought it no coincidence that German troops were reported concentrating at just that time in the Nazi dependency of Slovakia, north of Hungary, and they suspected that the troops were meant not only as a reminder to Rumania to behave but also as a hint to Hungary that toughness toward Rumania was expected...

Czechs bitterly declare that Poland did to them exactly what the Soviet Union later did to Poland: took advantage of a Nazi smash to grab. But today there is no point in Czecho-Slovaks quarreling with Poles, and General Sikorski observed after his conference with Dr. Benes: "Past errors between our two countries have been repaired and in the future we shall co-operate...
