EUROPE'S UNITED STATES

Britain's Programme For A New Order

From

Different Nazi Conceptions

ALF AHLBERG, writing in the "Dagens

Nyheter" of Stockholm, examines Britain's ACCIDENTAL

plans for Europe after the war with the sub- heading "Europe's United States.“

The writer declares that Britain also is

The Axis Powers for a long time belittled American help

but recently the "Messaggero" has frankly admitted the importance of American help.

The German press has not openly expressed an opinion 50 far, but it is admitted in Berlin that American help may lengthen the war--clearly they expect it to reach England, otherwise the war would not be lengthened.

American naval circles are now discussing giving Britain greater naval help. The Axis Powers have a new enemy with vast eco- nomic and industrial resources.--- Reuter.
