...time since the World War the historic gold-banded dinner service of the House of Habsburg gleamed on the banquet table in the Hall of Mirrors. Faded Habsburg livery was unpacked and donned by Austrian flunkies to wait upon the daughter of Europe's modern Caesar, Edda, Countess Ciano. Archdukes of the House of Habsburg came with Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, a devout Monarchist who would like to restore the Habsburgs with young Archduke Otto enthroned at Vienna as Emperor...
...banquet last week was given to celebrate the creation of another Empire, that which Italy has carved in Ethiopia. Countess Edda was accompanied by her husband, Il Duce's protégé: the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano. This amiable and rather plump young man has had difficulty in acquiring the mien of his father-in-law the Dictator, but has now learned to frown almost without visible effort. It was a proud moment when even the U. S., British and French ministers to Austria raised their wine glasses as Chancellor Schuschnigg proposed the toast to Mussolini...
...Edda's husband last month made a pact with Herr Hitler (TIME, Nov. 2) who effusively pressed upon him the supreme Nazi gift: a copy of Mein Kampf "from the hands of Der Führer himself and with his so-gemütlich autograph."

It is no wonder if we today raise the banner of anti-Bolshevism!" After uttering such warlike bombast, cautious Benito Mussolini always leaves open a diplomatic avenue running in the opposite direction. "Blackshirts!" he roared. "Your marching orders are: . . . Peace with all, with those near and afar! ARMED PEACE...
This week Premier Milan Stoyadinovich of Yugoslavia was reported so "frightened" by the Hitler-Ciano accord that he was about to throw over his country's close ties with France and recognize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia. Since Yugoslavia is the "historic foe" of Italy, such news from Belgrade rang like victory in Rome...
