When this communique first came through from Rome the phrase in quanta esse was mistakenly translated, "as," and Anglo-Saxon headlines announced MUSSOLINI SAYS "NO." On the contrary, Italy's Geneva Delegation declared, Premier Mussolini could only have inserted "insofar as" (in quanta esse), "to leave the door ajar for negotiation."

Against a solution along these lines the chief forces this week were: 1) Anglo-Saxon public opinion that one must crack down on a "Big Bully"; 2) the Socialist and Trade Union movements on the continent and in Britain which ceaselessly petitioned the League to hurl "sanctions" against Boss Mussolini; and 3) Soviet Russia whose suave Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinoff unleased at Geneva a strong Red speech for Peace and against Fascist dreams of Empire...
