...great was the Cabinet's anxiety that it decided Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden must swallow his Yorkshire pride, ask Italian Ambassador Count Dino Grandi to transmit a "personal appeal" to Premier Mussolini to keep the Bari station quiet about partition of Palestine. Since elegant Mr. Eden two years ago had an encounter with the Dictator at which they exchanged high words and parted on terms of mutual contempt (TIME, July 8, 1935), the Personal sacrifice asked of the young British Foreign Secretary last week was great.

Their Majesties hurried from the seaside back to a highly excited Tokyo in which Premier Prince Konoye repeatedly held midnight cabinet councils with members of the General Staff.
