Their lives have been threatened and the nurse who takes them to school now has to be accompanied by a Gestapo guard of two men. Before the Christmas holidays neutral observers who know the children saw them daily leaving the Ribbentrop home by car.with one guard beside the driver and the other following by motor-cycle.

Germany's shortage of raw materials will soon benefit Lancashire, Yorkshire, Tyneside and Wales, We are able to reveal some of the orders that are coming from Sweden when the Anglo-Swedish pact bogins to operate.
First, the Swedes want great quantities of coat from us to replace supplies unobtainable from Germany now. They will also order textiles from the North and machinery from the Mid- lands.
Italy, we understand, has decided not to deliver to the Soviet war material ordered several months ago..
*
Guns for coastal defence, mines and small torpedo-boats for Stalin will in that case be used to strengthen Italy's defences
against Bolshevism.

Sir Oliver Stanley will shortly be given a report on the real reasons behind the failure of the Soviet Army in Finland. It is being brought by Sir William Seeds, our Ambassador in Moscow, who is coming to London.
D
Sir William will also bring for the Government'a report on the Russian people's reaction to the war, which is considered most important in view of the possibility that hostilities will be prolonged-and perhaps extended.
