HITLER'S ALLIES
NOT MUCH HELP JO HIM
(Rec. 10 a.m.)
LONDON, June 9,
A cool-headed attitude is being adopted by Germany's allies, who, according to Hitler in June, 1941, were marching at the side of Germany, says the Swedish newspaper "Afton Tidningen," according to Reuters Stockholm correspondent. "The Finns and the Rumanians," he says, "are waging defensive wars. Hitler will not be able to persuade the Rumanians to do much more on the Eastern Front. The Italians have now something else to think about besides sending soldiers to Russia. Hungary has withdrawn its expeditionary corps from the Eastern Front. Bulgaria, which is at peace with Russia, is disinclined to accede to German requests to change its attitude. General Franco realised long ago that it would be an unnecessary honour for his Blue Division to be annihilated in the East, so he called it home."
