Analysis describes Axis diplomacy focusing on Pan American solidarity and Eastern Front moves, with Germany seeking to delay U.S. entry, provoke multiple regional conflicts, and redraw trade through economic warfare. It discusses the raid on the Atlantic, French fleet aims, and Japan-Russia bloc impacts on Britain and global supply lines.
Reports say Secretary Ickes backed a nationwide curfew on gasoline with 7 pm to 3 am hours to curb shortages.

The article argues that the United States fights a nonmilitary war in Latin America by disrupting Axis economic influence.

It cites Bolivia and Uruguay episodes and notes Rockefeller connections to anti Axis efforts.
