Benito Mussolini insulted Queen Marie of Rumania. The Queen's matchmaking plans received a brutal blow. Rumanian policies looking to an entente with Italy, a concordat with the Vatican, not to mention the marriage of Marie's second son to an Italian Princess, were roughly handled by Mussolini's masterful touch. All the Balkan chancellories are in turmoil...

The Anglicans in Canada, by concordat, now recognize the interchangeable validity of other Protestant denominations.
