After a week of this sort of thing some trends, amazingly, were apparent. Majority Leader Alben Barkley claimed repealists had picked up "one or two votes."

Next it Lithuania, nominally within Germany's sphere of influence, appropriating transit privileges from the Baltic seacoast to inner Russia. No commentator needed to stretch his imagination to see the reason: Russia, not trusting her Nazi accomplice, is merely strengthening her Baltic position. Two Balkan question marks were left. First, Finland wondered whether she would be called to Moscow, like her Baltic neighbors. Second, the Soviet made arrangements to rent Finnish, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish boats to haul timber from the White sea to Britain in defiance of the Nazi blockade. Balkans. Having intended to stay in Moscow only three days, the Turkish delegation headed by Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu remained two weeks, apparently representing all Balkan states.

Mere seizure of territory, however, does not extinguish the legal existence of a government." By the same token, the U. S. said nothing about Poland's $179,000,000 war debt, which Germany and Russia wouldn't pay anyway. When Austria was seized by the Reich, the U.
