The Axis Powers
| INFLUENCE IN CENTRAL EUROPE “Britain and France,” says the “Economist,” “not less than the Little Entente States after their own conference, should immediately and actively canvass every possibility of developing that half of Hungary’s foreign trade which still takes place beyond the ambit of the Axis Powers. That way, and that way only, can the new Danubia, already linked with the Balkan Powers, achieve peace and prosperity without becoming a closed Teutonic preserve. Finally, despite German suspicion of British and French intentions, such an outcome would best serve the real interests of Germany and Italy; for then the Danubian and Balkan peoples could be willing collaborators with Germany and Italy in the cause of welfare and peace. Among them, the Slavs —Czechs, Slovaks, Jugoslavs and Bulgars— fear the attainment of purely Teutonic aims. And the Germans threaten to become for the non-Slavs —Greeks, Roumanians and Hungarian—alien masters.
