...British Army Staffs in conversations about how joint action could be taken against Germany. Although repeatedly complaining that the Red Army had not been invited to sit in, the Soviet Commissar answered at no time during the week the crucial question of whether Czechoslovakia, if attacked by Germany, could count in any case on Russian aid.

Jewish President Edgardo Morpurgo of Assicurazioni Generali, the great Venetian insurance firm, likewise resigned last week and was replaced by famed Count Volpi, who in 1925 as Finance Minister negotiated the Italo-U. S. debt accord. Swank Countess Volpi is a Jewess and so is the old mother of Fascist Minister of Education Giuseppe Bottai. Indeed, so many Jews of long standing in Italy hold places in or close to the Regime...
