...Chust, Ruthenia's capital, a German mission arrived recently to form a "Ukrainian Free Corps" on the order of the Austrian Free Corps before Fuhrer Hitler absorbed Austria, and the Sudeten Free Corps before the Sudetenland was "freed." The corps's job will doubtless be 1) to undermine the civil authority of Poland, Rumania and the Soviet Union in Ukrainian districts, 2) to work up a separatist movement, 3) to create incidents which will eventually make "necessary" Ruthenia's-i.e., Nazi Germany's-intervention to restore "law and order," and liberate Ukrainian kinsfolk...

In all probability, Hitler will give him some support in regard to his minor demands; but that the axis will function as smoothly in obtaining Tunisia for Italy as it did in the Sudeten crisis is extremely doubtful...

The transfer of the Sudeten Germans was not intrinsically unjust, and if the surrender of 1938 has stimulated at long last a will on the part of the democracies to resist further Fascist aggrandizement, then history will not endorse the gloomy report which pessimists today are so generally proclaiming...
