This article discusses the matter related to world politics. The Nazi onslaught of Russia is only three days three days old and it is much too early to assess its prospects. Moreover, one must expect even less reliable information about the course of this campaign than we have received from other battlefields of World War II.

This presumably led to a temporary shelving of the military's grandiose plans for expansion into the South Seas.
