1 MARCH 1940, Page 6

March, Hitler's month, has arrived. For the benefit of those

who attach importance to his habits it may be recalled that he went into the Rhineland on March 7th, 1936, in- vaded Austria on March 13th, 1938, and marched into Czecho-Slovakia on March 15th, 1939. None of which, let me add, necessarily provides any convincing reason for believing he will do anything in particular in March, 194o.
