...meat, supposing they meant all Mr. Eden had said against Italy, and being anxious to oblige such good customers, Argentine Foreign Minister Dr. Carlos Saavedra Lamas last month made the original demand that the League Assembly of 53 nations meet in Geneva this week and vote rousingly against Il Duce. Last week Dr. Saavedra was furious and in Buenos Aires refused to be interrogated in the Argentine Chamber. His aides waved their hands and said how could he know that the "emotional" British would switch completely around, and how could the whole thing ever be explained to "logical" Argentine public...
...Great Britain to have made a friendly peace with Benito Mussolini-such a peace as the Hoare-Laval Deal for which British public opinion was not yet ready when Sir Samuel signed it in Paris (TIME, Dec. 16 & 23). Last week not peace but a capitulation to II Duce was made by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden amid cries in the House of Commons that His Majesty's Government were "cowards" and "pol-troons".

Last week Dictator Mussolini began by firing himself from three of his biggest jobs: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Colonies and Minister of Corporations...
...overindulgent, a little soft. She wants her Count to have the glory of being Italian Foreign Minister when it comes about that Sanctions are lifted-and shrewd Benito Mussolini does not want to be his own Foreign Minister in case Italy's great diplomatic offensive fails. If Il Duce was a little soft and sweet to his daughter last week, he abandoned none of his watchful astuteness. Edda herself was in Berlin, hobnobbing with bigwig Nazis-which was the Mussolini Family's way of teasing the French and the British...
