...sponsored in the House of Representatives by the Administration called for repeal of the mandatory embargo on arms exports. But isolationist Congressmen amended it to read very much like the 1935-36 Nye legislation. This palpable defeat for Roosevelt and Hull was hailed by verbal fireworks in Rome and Berlin. Fascist glee provoked a tart "I-told-you-so" from the President, who promptly called upon the Senate to reverse the House...

The man who would be arrested on sight in one Axis country would probably find conditions uncomfortably hot for him in the other. Since the Rome-Berlin Axis cuts Europe squarely in two, this state of affairs compels an exile going from eastern Europe to western Europe, for example, to chart a circuitous route...
