Last week, as the voice of his fugitive master, King Zog I, dwindled away behind the mountains of Greece, drowned out by the cannon of Mussolini, Minister Konitza betook himself to the State Department to protest his country's rape and to announce that he, like Minister Hurban of Czecho-Slovakia (TIME, March 27), would not yield his legation to his country's conquerors.

That his statement is illogical will not have much bearing on the real issue, for there is still a large number of persons who would "protect...
ROME--Official communiques announced today that Premier Benito Mussolini had conferred with Gen. Gaetone Gambara on a date for withdrawal of Italian troops from Spain and that Italy had given assurances of friendship to Greece --thus attacking the two principal obstacles to Anglo-Italian friendship...
