Industriously in London last week solid, bull-necked French Premier Edouard Daladier and lean, hawk-nosed British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain did their potent best to spoil the grandiose State visit which pudgy, mystic Adolf Hitler was to make to Italy this week, escorted by a retinue of 170 German officials, plus 70 German editors, plus 84 German photographers. The privileged photographers were fitted out last week for the first time in blue-grey uniforms with a visored cap and flowing cape. The privileged German editors each received two blue-black uniforms and six pairs of gloves, were warned...
...near future. On the other hand, something entirely different prompted Franklin Roosevelt to pick up some of his. Acting Secretary of State last week was Mr. Roosevelt's good friend Sumner Welles, who last summer met and greatly admired England's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Last week, according to the most reliable reports, Mr. Chamberlain strongly urged his new friend, in the absence of canny Secretary Hull, to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to issue a statement approving the Anglo-Italian pact.

...last week gave the first public indication that, like his father, King Fuad, he is ready to play ball with the British. Fear of Mussolini has of late become real in Egypt and the main declaration of Farouk's message was to place Egypt squarely behind Prime Minister Chamberlain and the British-Italian pact signed last week in Rome (see p. 16). Egyptian delegates attended the Rome conferences. "The Anglo-Italian agreement," declared Farouk, "is the surest guarantee of peace...
