BEHIND THE HEADLINE

Erased From Map, Nation Still Functions

New Blow To German CZECHOSLOVAKIA Hopes In The Balkans STILL WORLD

A new blow to Gormany's economic hopes in the Balkan countries is being planned.

We are able to reveal that Rumania, Greece, Yugoslavia and Turkey, inspired by Italy, are discussing in secret an economic pool on the lines of that between Britain and France.

*

A Balkan Committco is likely to be set up to arrange for a fair exchango of commoditici on a barter system among the countries concerned. If one country has a surplus of a particular commodity which others lack, it will be shared out.

*

In affect, this will tend to make the Balkans solf- sufficient and will seriously deplate the supplies Germany aims to get from South-Eastern Europe. ❤

Balkans are dissatisfied with German goods taken "in exchange."

A

News of this proposal has reached Hitler, and accounts for his recent "big push" to get Balkan commodities, particularly from, Rumania and Yugoslavia.

✡

Proof that Litvinov, Soviot, ex-Foreign Minister, who was sacrificed last May because he was anti-Gorman, is well back in favour: he has had restored to him his official bullet-proof car, of which he was deprived whan ho lost office.

Litvinov is to be used by Stalin to strengthen resistance to Germany later on, when circumstances make it necessary.

✡

From Catholic circles in touch with Germany we learn that Berlin's Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Orsognio, has been called four times in a week to the Wilhelmstrasso to discuss a now Papal "peace appea!"--which is to be used as propaganda in the Reich.

→

It is aimed to make this oppoal in such a way that it is bound to be turned down. by the Allios, so that Hitler can once again "show" his people that the Allies are to blame for hostilities. The Papal Nuncio, wo toarn, is opposing the form in which he has been asked to submit the appaal.

WHEN Hitler went yesterday to the front he met south of Saarbruceken some of the young S.S. men who believe they are fighting a superman patrol warfare on the Western Front. And German agencies claim that after Hitler had shaken hands with these men they went out to show him how they "rule the mud and the darkness" for the Nazis.
