HITLER'S BID F
Believed To Be Getting Ready To Move Again
!
Her Hitler's bid to insure the willing co-opera- tion of Poland in his expansionist programme tends to confirm that he is getting ready to move again in Eastern Europe.
His biggest project for the immediate future is generally believed to involve the golden Ukraine from Russia. For this he needs Poland's aid.
Poland is the logical gateway to the Ukraine, since Germany is cut off from Russia by Polish and Rumanian territory.

That may be the meaning of the conference the other day between Hitler and Colonel Joseph Beck, Po- land's fighting foreign minister, at the Fuehrer's Berchtesgaden retreat in the Alps-and the meaning of the parley in Warsaw between the colonel and Hitler's famous ne- gotiator, Reich Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop.
