...French Governments in a position of ''maintaining the balance in Spain" between Rightists and Leftists. It is Sir Robert's view that nothing would be more dangerous for Europe, nothing more likely to provoke an immediate war, than for Germany to feel there had been a clear-cut "Red" victory in Spain, or for France to feel there had been a clear-cut "Fascist" victory; that instead compromise-the traditional British virtue-must ultimately triumph in Spain, preferably by setting up a democracy under a constitutional monarch, with due respect for every man's property...
While Germany, Italy, France and Britain eagerly waited to see in what direction the Goga Government's foreign policy was going to swing, one of its internal policies was quickly made clear. Symptomatic was the offering of special prayers for Premier Goga's aged right-hand man, 81-year-old Minister Without Portfolio Professor Alexander Cuza. Professor Cuza was not only founder of a predecessor of the present National Christian Party but is a famed oldtime Fascist and a vigorous Jew-baiter. Disdaining the Nazi swastika, Fascist Cuza has used a blue swastika as his party symbol (since...
...panic that my refusal seemed to cause to my legation staff and to the officers of the ship made it quite clear to me what would have happened." said M.

It was clear that months of pan-Islamic and pro-Fascist propaganda and intrigue in the Near East by agents of Benito Mussolini had sown in Cairo much of what the King was trying to reap this week. The British were not in the least relieved when Ali Maher Pasha, Chief Political Chamberlain of His Majesty, also told London papers by telephone that "there is not a word of truth" in the rumors...
...those days Steichen spelled his first name "Eduard." He was a painter as well as a photographer and his photographs tended to be Whistlerian. Rembrandtesque or merely misty. Stieglitz, who never painted a stroke, was meanwhile doing a number of clear, cold outdoor pictures which have since become classic examples of great photography. In 1917 and 1918 "Eduard'' saw much more of France than he had ever seen before. He saw it from above, as chief of the photographic section of the U. S. Air Service. In aerial photography clarity is the first and last requisite. When...
