enough to ‘account for the collapse of the isolationist movement. Neither has it been ‘due to Mr. Roosevelt's persuasiveness. His attempts to frighten the country have been received with much indifference. His serious attempts to spell out the dangers of gradual encirclement, his warnings that real defense of this hemisphere requires attention to off-shore strategic points, did not awaken any noticeable waves of public He has had to take tlie necessary actions, such as the occupation of Iceland, by going out on his own and trusting to public approval after the act.

In all, Germany's actions ‘have shown first that Hitler is a dangerous person to try to do business with and second that he.is disposed to show no consideration for our rights.

(Sept. 27-Oct. 31, i040)

_ BERLIN, Sept. 27, 1940.

Hi tler and “Mussolini

have pulled another sur-

prise. At 1p. m. today in “the Chancellery, ‘Japan, Germany and Italy re ‘a military alliance directed -ggainst the United States. 1 was caught way off ‘base ‘thinking that Ciano “had come to pipe Spain into the war.. Suner was not even’ present at the theatrical ‘performance the Fascists of Europe and Asia staged today.

Core of the pact is Article III. It reads: “Germany, Italy, and Japan undertake to assist one an‘other with all political, economic; and military means when one of the three contracting parties is attacked by a power at present not involved in the European war or in the Sino-Japanese conflict.” . There are two great powers not yet involved in either of those ‘wars: Russia and the United

‘States. But Article III. does not

refer to Russia; ‘Article V refers to Russia. Article V says: many, Italy, and Japan affirm that the aforesaid terms do not.in any way affect the political status which exists at present between each of the three contracting parties and Soviet Russia.”. The Soviet Union'is out. That leaves the U. S. A. in. There was no attempt to disguise this obvious fact in Nazi circles tonight. Now, why did Hitler, instigator of this alliance, hurriedly .rig it up just at this time? My theory is this: = Ribbentrop - journeyed suddenly to Rome a fortnight ago to break the news to Mussolini that the expected land invasion of Britain could not be carried out as planned. Mussolini had already started an invasion of Egypt to coincide with the attack on Britain and to divide the Empire’s forces. : The Duce, no doubt, was disturbed at Hitler's abandoning the all-out attack on Britain which

he was confident would end the

war—and Italy had only entered the war when she did because she though it was almost over. What was the-Axis to do? » » ”

Plans for the Winter

The obvious thing seemed to devote the winter to attacking the ‘heart of the British Bmpiee in Egypt, conquer that country, take the Suez Canal, then grab Paless“tine; Iraq, where badly needed .oil was at hand, and possibly continue down the Euphrates and take .the.: Persian oil region. If necessary, Jugoslavia and Greece could be occupied (Italy to get Dalmatia - permanently), and southern Greece used as a start-ing-place for German ‘against Egypt and the " British Mediterranean fleet. To ensure the complete and timely success of the campaign,
