The man on the metal plate was vanishing.
And that, gentlemen,
said the Secretary of War, is the situation. Arvania has stolen the Ziegler plans and formulae. With their acquisition it becomes the most powerful nation on earth.

I tell you that declaration of war by Arvania will be followed by the downfall of the United States inside of three months!
Again the hushed, strained silence descended over the conference table, while one white-faced man gazed at another and all speculated on the incredible possibility of a world in which there was no United States of America.

"What are we to do?" demanded Forsyte.
The Secretary seemed to
