...forerunner of bigger & better grabs, however, the Albanian coup served as an unmistakable warning to all small countries which lie in the path of the Nazi-Fascist eastbound steam roller, the very countries which Britain has tried to persuade to join up with her. To belatedly aroused Britain and France, Italy's action was possibly more serious than Herr Hitler's recent challenges. In pushing boldly into the Balkan Peninsula, traditional spawning ground of wars, the Fascist military machine had come perilously close to clashing with the "vital interests" of the British and French Empires. Greek naval bases...
...move also served to tighten the Fascist-Nazi pincers on Yugoslavia. That nation is now surrounded on three sides, with Nazi Austria on the north, Fascist Albania on the south, and an Italian sea, the Adriatic, on the west. To make the picture complete, dissatisfied little Bulgaria, most defeated of Germany's World War allies, lies on the east. When Britain hastily suggested that Yugoslavia join the anti-aggression pact there came only stony silence from Belgrade. The Yugoslav Government dared do nothing to offend its powerful neighbors...
Even as the Foreign Minister traveled through Germany on his way back, an anti-Polish Nazi diplomatic and press barrage was going full blast.

The Admiralty was evidently convinced that German military leaders would try out the Douhet "lightning stroke air attack" theory of war and that the first stroke would be an attempt to immobilize the British Home Fleet...
There is scarcely a stranger spot for Nazi expansion than Argentina's windy, frigid Patagonia, which stretches 1,000 miles down the Atlantic coast almost to Cape Horn. Seeing how their Führer grabs off huge bites of Europe, Nazi agents on other continents are prone to have big ideas over the possibilities of getting some Lebensraum ("living room") in less populated areas of the world. Last week Argentines had a case of Hitler jitters when it was asserted by Noticias Gráficas, sensational Buenos Aires newspaper, that ambitious Nazi agents had presented their Government with...
