...which enclose it on the west and south. But this sector would be the most passable for the Germans and here, in a drive for the higher ground at Hertogenbosch, Tilburg and Eindhoven, is where the first German assault could be expected. Gaining this foothold, the Germans could then press on to take Flushing and other coastal points south of the river deltas, enjoying the Dutch flood zone as protection for their right flank from any counterattack. The likelihood of this attack, and its obvious menace to Belgium, was believed last week to have led King Leopold to tell Queen...

As one indication of Italy's independence, the Italian Government signed a trade agreement with Britain. As another, the Italian press leaped at the chance to tell the Germans publicly just what Italy thought of the Nazi-Bolshevik alliance...

She was now suing to force him to fulfill an alleged promise to pay her $20,000 yearly...
...appeared that the approach of World War II caused the press lord to decide belatedly that European politics ought to be handled through the Foreign Offices only, and this cost the Mystery Woman her job with him. The Paris weekly Aux Ecoutes charged in 1933, when she was reported expelled from France, that she was a Nazi spy. She now claims that Lord Rothermere persuaded her not to sue the Paris paper for damages, promising to defend her honor in his newspapers. She charges that he failed to do so, and was thus doubly guilty of breach of contract...
