Professor Johnson
Talks On Strategy
(Continued from Page 1)
defense, Professor Johnson analyzed
the occupation of the Rhineland, the
invasion of Austria, Czechoslovakia
and Poland, as a policy of "taking
in turn those areas that would least
provoke trouble."
He said: "Germany first occupied
the Rhineland and then transformed
its rugged terrain by artificial forti-
fication into the almost impregnable
West-wall, thus protecting the Reich
from attack from the West."
Pointing out that Hitler "knew the
Allies wouldn't fight," Professor
Johnson: revealed that the seizure of
Austria gained for Germany the im-
pregnable barrier of the Southern
Alps and enabled the German army
to surround the "bastion of Czech-
oslovakia."
Hitler then rushed troops into
Austria and easily took Czeckoslo-
vakia, he asserted, claiming that
"Chamberlain took back from Mun-
ich, not 'peace in our time,' but a
major military defeat."
From his position in Czechoslo-
vakia, it was comparatively easy for
Hitler to stage a Bliztkrieg in Poland,
the Professor said.
Avukah Palestine-Fellow
To Speak At Hillel Today
Seymour Melman, winner of the
1939-40 Palestine Fellowship, will
speak on "The Increased Arab-Jewish
Cooperation in the Holy Land and
Jewish Determination to Speed the
Pace of Palestine's Rebuilding" at 8
p.m. today at the Hillel Foundation.
The talk, which will follow the
regular Friday night Conservative
Services, will deal with the change
in the attitude of the Arabs toward
the Jews and the rapid development
of Palestine's industry and financial
interests.

The Barbizon is the home of college
clubs in New York. Why? Perhaps
it's because the Barbizon offers so
many more of the smart interesting
things that appeal to college girls.
Daily it presents a harmonious med-
ley of cultural and physicalactivi

college girls prefer living in The
Barbizon Manner is its locaion...
in the midst of New York's most
fashionable residential section, yet
convenient to important business
centers, art galleries, museums,
theatres and schools.
