Such an alliance would crimp if not permanently wreck the French military supremacy of Europe. At the very beginning of the Hitler Chancellorship it was an idea with which Il Duce toyed pleasantly. What he did not realize was the speed with which Hitlerite groups were spawning in southeastern Europe. Austrian Nazis had already outdistanced the older Austrian Fascist group, the Heimwehr, as a political force. They were springing up in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, even Rumania, and all taking their orders from Handsome Adolf. In Fulda three weeks ago a conference of German bishops announced that good Catholics need no longer...
