After preliminary consultations at Castle Fuschl near Salzburg with German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Messrs. Gigurtu and Manoilesco motored to Berghof for a talk with Herr Hitler, proceeded to Rome the same afternoon. With heavy rhetoric the Berlin radio summarized the results of the conference: "Germany today, less than ever, had reason to refrain from pointing out that the Reich is in favor of reasonable Bulgarian and Hungarian revision claims." The result of the Salzburg sales talks will not be made public until Bulgaria and Slovakia have had their turns...
Last week it was apparent that the tough talk had started well ahead of schedule. It was not very impressive to begin with.

Last week Secretary of State Cordell Hull, before setting out for Havana with eight trade, monetary, agricultural and political experts, slapped back at another attempt to make trouble.

Therefore Germany would be unable to fill the Russian orders for machinery. Furthermore, said the Foreign Minister, Russian newspapers were not giving sufficient praise to German achievements in The Netherlands, Belgium and France. And what was Great Britain's Ambassador Sir Richard Stafford Cripps...
Black-browed Joseph Stalin may have meditated that it was the Franco-Russian War that started Napoleon on his downward spiral, beginning with the retreat from Moscow. To Joseph Stalin the Ribbentrop message sounded like the prelude to a typical Hitlerian workup: complaints, proposals, demands, threats, action. Communist Joseph Stalin is mortally afraid of National Socialist Adolf Hitler, but he knows one truth that Europe's other statesmen learned too late: that Hitler respects strength alone. He set out to give a demonstration...
