Hitler did not need outright con- trol of Czecho-Slovakia to get his army within easy striking distance of Russia’s rich Ukraine, long be- lieved his goal. He already had ob- tained permission to build a super highway-—now rapidly going for- ward—clear through to the little nation’s eastern frontier. Likely Explanations Then why did he strike? These reasons are advanced by London students of tangled middle European affairs: 1. Hitler was performing a sort of bookkeeping operation—making | official and strengthening the dom- | ination Germany won over the Czechs last fall when it took the republic’s Maginot line. 2. He may have felt it necessary |to check the growing “impudence” | | of Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Rumania, who, p! baly encour- aged by the stronger stand of Bri- | tain and France in recent months, | have been showing signs of being ‘unwlllmg to play Charlie McCarthy to Hitler's Bergen. | 3.
