...Four-Power Pact" as originally announced (TIME, April 10) were partial revision of the post-War treaties and gradual granting of arms equality to the defeated nations. Last week, emasculated beyond recognition. Il Patto a Quattro was ready to receive the squiggled initials (not signatures) of Il Duce and the ambassadors in Rome of Britain, France, Germany. Because Il Patto is the first treaty of world importance hatched by Benito Mussolini since he made Italy his nest, he turned the initialing into a Roman holiday, had loudspeakers stuck up beside the splashing fountains in Rome's public squares, called...
...Italian youth in his right mind who knew Italo Balbo would have then wanted "to become a de Pinedo." Balbo learned that the forgotten $26,000 was still in the bank and that de Pinedo had been accepting $20 a week interest on the money. A word to Il Duce, a telephone call to de Pinedo: "Your resignation as Chief of Staff for Aviation is accepted." The Messenger of Italianity found himself farmed out to the Argentine as air attach...

Austrian Nazis had already outdistanced the older Austrian Fascist group, the Heimwehr, as a political force. They were springing up in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, even Rumania, and all taking their orders from Handsome Adolf. In Fulda three weeks ago a conference of German bishops announced that good Catholics need no longer...
...fairy godmother of Fascist Germany, Fascist Italy could make no open remonstrance. In fact Italian newspapers started attacking exiled Albert Einstein last week and Il Duce himself assured the Italian people that there was no truth in stories of anti-semitic attacks in Germany. But Mussolini took a backhanded slap at Hitler by repeating in the same interview that Jews enjoyed complete freedom in Italy and while he remained in power they always should. Privately, Pilgrims von Papen & Goring were assured that Italy would not countenance political union of Austria and Germany and that Mussolini still hoped to work...
