The following pages are based on observations made on two journeys in the Baltic area, the first in Finland and the Baltic States during the summer of 192.., and the second in Germany, Poland and Danzig during the winter of 1928-9. As this particular area contains several dangerous situations which will in the future play an important part in the destinies of Europe. I have tried to explain them in some detail and to show their significance in the maze of European politics.
