Maginot Line Guns Threaten Gibraltar

Hitler plans to follow up his Balkan conquest with a dash for the Suez Canal and Mosul via Syria, via Libya-Egypt, and an attack on Gibraltar, wrote a diplomatic correspondent re- cently..

He plans to drive Britain out of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, and destroy the British Mediterranean Fleet with his dive-bombers, Italian submarines, and German artil lery batteries mounted on the Spanish and Spanish Moroccan coasts.

The attack on Gibraltar nay; take place very soon.

Although Switzerland, with its mixture of races and languages would appear to be particularly vulnerable to the propaganda tactics of the Nazis and other ex- tremists, it has probably departed from its traditions less than any other European country, writes a correspondent of the "Christian Science Monitor" from Berne.
