World's Press Speaks
The Nazis' Weaknesses Exposed
Another Failure By Ribbentrop
LONDON, Feb. 25 (Reuter). -The Swiss paper, "Tribune," Bays: "The arrival of the Anzacs is a striking reply to the activities of German agents who have vainly sought to raise the peoples of the Near and Middle East against 'perfidious Albion', and another, example of the miscalculation of Ribbentrop and his associates concerning the disintegration of the British Commonwealth of Nations."
"Nemzet! The Budapest paper, Ujsag." in un article entitled "British Work in Imperial Constructive
Arabia," shows the systematic work of the last 20 years in building network of bases on the fringes of Arabia, facilitating the work of the Weygand army.
Already Communist
The Amorlean paper, "Memphis Commercial Appeal," says: "Don't worry about Germany swinging from Nazism to Commúnisin. It has already occurred,”
The "SI. Louis Post-Dispatch" says: in economle "A report is current circles that the only Russian oll Ger- the war nany has obtained since began is in reality not from the wells of pre-war Russia but from Russlan- occupied Poland, the annual produs- tion of which has been only 450,000 ions."
A "New York Times" article by Anne O'Hara McCormick quotes a Hungarian statesman who made the remark that pilgrim in south- castern Europe has heard it repeated In every capital he visited that "east of-Germany-the-feeling.is_stronger_) than in the west that Germany has already lost the war."
It is strange, says the urllele, that the nations most terrified by the powers of the Relch are the least im- pressed by the idea of Germany's invincibility.
