Both t h e prophecy summarized above, from the 11th chapter of Daniel, and also the time-sequence of the Book of Revela- t i o n , show t h a t Russia will not enter t h e war until AFTER the Roman na t ions have been fighting.

WHY MUSSOLINI BACKED FRANC0

After cap tu r ing Eth iopia , and s e t t i n g t h e stage at t h i t po in t , Mussolini next centered his efforts on SPAIN and PALES- TIN. The paragraph above, and the art io l t i n t h e December number, explains why ha has stkred up strife among Arabs.

But as soon as t h e c i v i l war broke out in Spain , t he world began to l e a r n that Italian soldiers by t h e thousands were pouring i n t o Spain, enl is t ing under the r e b e l General Franco.

Since t h e f i r s t pages of t h i s article were pr in t ed , Hitler has taken virtually ALL of Czechoslovakia, beside t h e port of Meme1 i n Li thuania .

might break o u t i n a few days or w8eka. More probably,---far more probably--Frame and Br i t a in will discuss and negotiate, while Mussolini continues t o t h r e a t e n and t o b l u s t e r . The Dehocracies may make some concessions allowing the Italians better shipping p r i v i l a g s s t h r u these gates, UNDER THEIR CONTROL, but they cannot, and WILL NOT, sur render one single inch of actual territorry at any of these v i t a l points !

As poin ted out above, H i t l e r ' a march to the east and south-east is not hur t ing France and Britain SO much. They would l i k e t o stop him, but w i l l not f i g h t t o do it, They involve t h e very LIFE of Britain and France. mands THEY WILL FIGHT. Mussolini cannot back down---he MUST press h i s demands. War, therefore, is inevitable. And it will s tar t a t some point in t h e Mediterranean.

It might start a t Tunisia, o r a t Djibouti---but it w i l l s t a r t i n t h a t sea- t i o n where it shall end---between these o t h e r paints---in the Suez sector, adjoin- ing PALESTINE, and Egypt.

WHAT ABOUT HITLER?

And now what about Hitler? What does the f u t u r e hold f o r him? How w i l l he ever knuckle under t o Mussolini?

Roman Empire. Yet H i t l e r , having q u i t e d i f f e r e n t ambi- t i o n s and purposes, a c t u a l l y i s l i n i n g up the na t ions which e v e n t u a l l y must give their power and s t r e n g t h t o t h e Roman ru l - er.

But possibly--- just our personal hazzard- --possibly Hitler will d ie o r be k i l l e d , within the next e ighteen months, That would l eave Goering and Coebbels i n con- t r o l of Germany. t o hold w h a t Hitler has gained, They will then turn t o t h e n a t u r a l leader, the one s t rong p e r s o n a l i t y of t h e Rome-Berlin axis---Mussolini, And t h e n a l l t h e o t h e r d i c t a t o r s will f a l l qu ick ly into l i n e , and t h e ROMAN EMPIRE will suddenly become a world- te r r i fy ing r e a l i t y !
