...Back in Cracow, Poland, from where he governs some 15,000,000 Poles,* Governor General Frank received a Russian delegation arriving by special train. Two years ago Dr. Frank called Germany the "protector against Bolshevistic terror" and said that the Germans would have "no dealings with Communism in Moscow or elsewhere." But last week the visiting Bolshevists were treated to a ceremonial tour around the historic old city. Then they sat down to arrange details whereby 800,000 Ukrainians and White Russians in German-occupied territory would be handed over to the "Bolshevistic terror" in exchange for 100,000 Germans...
...police charges that Otto Strasser instigated the recent Munich Nazi Beer Hall bombing (TIME, Nov.. 20) caused the Swiss Government to expel him last week. "I thought at first that my friends had been implicated . . . when I heard the false reports that Hess [Deputy Nazi Party -With Nazi Protector Baron Xeurath Leader Rudolf Hess] had been killed," said Herr Strasser on arrival in P'aris. The fact that no Nazi bigwig was killed in the explosion convinced him, he said, that the Nazis themselves had set the bomb to increase the Fiihrer's popularity, and he cracked...
Hungary probably would not soon dare to grab back Transylvania from Rumania, but Bulgarians joyously remember a report that Joseph Stalin recently told a Bulgarian delegation in Moscow he would help their country grab back Dobruja. In Tsarist times Russia always posed in the Balkans as "Protector of the Slave." It was this role which brought her into World War I against Austria and then Germany. In World War II, the Soviet Government has been rapidly swallowing Polish territory while describing itself as "neutral." Last week Moscow, in an official declaration to Bucharest, declared that so far as Rumania...
...racialism bothered the congress little, nationalism caused it some trouble. Most of the "messengers" were for telling off Hitler and Mussolini. Thereupon a German Baptist bitterly accused the congress of not understanding Germany, while an Italian defended Il Duce as Baptism's protector against the Roman Catholic Church. Dr. Rushbrooke, with no particular national ax to grind, made a speech which further suggested that, in Europe, religious minorities like the Baptists try to play off governments against established churches. He blamed "the sinister figure of the priest," rather than King Carol, for Baptist troubles in Rumania. He paid...
...simply another instance of the Axis policy of goading the British and French by flattering the Arab. Although Benito Mussolini allows his Arabs in Libya precious little freedom, he has long been mightily concerned about Arab independence in French-mandated Syria and British-mandated Palestine. Il Duce proclaimed himself "Protector of Islam" two years ago, but last spring he nevertheless invaded Albania, a predominantly Moslem country. In Germany hand-picked Arabs are invited as honor guests to the Nazi Party's annual Congress at Nürnberg, where they usually hear Nazi orators bait the Jews. Both Nazi...
