Timed to the minute came a story from Berlin: Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini would propose peace. German divisions released from the Polish front, together with the bulk of the German air force, would be sent to the German-Italian frontier-prepared to move across Italy with Italian troops if France refused peace; prepared to move against Italy if Italy refused to offer...
...distrust. There was a time when Westerners muttered about a hard-living "rounder" somewhere in the Near East whose lack of scruples made diplomatic stability impossible, but that time passed when, as Turkey grew stronger, Saracoglu's reputation grew bright. Last week none of this mattered: only what Stalin could say to Saracoglu, what Saracoglu could say to Stalin; whether Turkey, breaking with Britain and France, would join with Stalin and Hitler in another move for "peace" as devastating as the German-Russian Pact had been.

Minorities. As the Germans reached Bialystok last week Comrade Stalin came out with his answer. Reputedly closer to Stalin than Molotov is A. A. Zhdanov, who as director of Russia's press, runs Pravda. To Zhdanov's Pravda went the honor of answering the riddle, but Pravda's editorial bore the unmistakable stamp of Stalin's heavyhanded, question-and-answer style so plainly that it unquestionably belonged with such Stalin masterpieces as his famed "Dizziness from Success" article on the collective farms. In some respects it suggested that such monumental successes as last week...
