Germany not only depends upon her Balkan supplies for the war, but must increase them. The Soviet Union still looks upon Rumania's Bessarabia as a part of Russia, feels a kinship toward the Balkans' huge Slavic population. Italy regards the Balkans as her natural Lebensraum.

...many little-known facts about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is that some 25% of its territory lies north of the Arctic Circle. The Soviet Arctic (some of which is south of the Circle) is the Soviet Union's pioneerland, a vast (2,316,600 sq. mi.), cold, potentially rich region, bigger than the West that lay before the pioneering U.

...better" which wins. The Gottlieb "condemn Russia" amendment, already adopted by the local chapter, is to be voted on through a national referendum in the coming fortnight. The H.S.U. should do all it can to convince the general membership to approve the amendment, and thereby rebuke the pro-Soviet Convention.
