This year the Russian spring is a threat, not a promise. The sun drying out the mud ever farther north unrolled a great firm highway for the Nazi war machine. Maxim Litvinoff could guess at the pattern of the Nazi drive: this time, probably, Hitler would smash south, toward the oil of the Caucasus, the Suez Canal, the Indian Ocean. At the same moment the Japanese, with perhaps 1,000,000 men in Manchukuo, their railroads fanned out to the Siberian border, might smash at Russia's Asian end. This was Russia's crucial hour...
This was the basic problem, highlighted by the massing of new German troops in the Balkans. Under such a threat the trial of two Russians for the attempted assassination of Ambassador Franz von Papen had proceeded with scrupulous honesty and little conclusive evidence. The Turks resented Russian press attacks and bullying demands that the defendants be released. But, like Ambassador Steinhardt's search for new wineglasses, the trial was incidental to bigger things.

Through its victory in the touch football league, Strauss got off to a flying start with the 12 points awarded to the winner of this event. Matthews, which has placed second to Strauss both in League two's football and basketball stands as the greatest threat to the leading Strauss team. Farlow is not a strong contender for the final championship because, although guaranteed at least second honors in basketball, it did not fare well in the fall football championship...
...striking significance was the fact that the declaration, like Britain's offer, officially recognized the Moslem League's demands for a separate Moslem state. Hitherto Congress has loftily insisted that the separatist talk is merely a threat which would not be strongly supported among India's great 80,000,000 Moslem minority...
