...Profound Joy." Premier Chautemps and Foreign Minister Delbos wore the most satisfied smiles imaginable as they arrived in Paris, greeted at the station by cheering Socialist and Radical Socialist adherents. "On every subject we have been able to meet the English!" was beaming Premier Chautemps' way of summing up. "It is with profound joy that I am able to say that on all topics we found ourselves in complete agreement...

Portugal has been supplying Rightist Spain and her German ally, and the Dictator showed every sign of feeling that he can sit tight on the question of Angola.

Announced his Foreign Minister Spaak: "Should the question arise, Belgium is prepared to defend the colony (Belgian Congo) with all the means within our power. From London we learn that the British viewpoint would never admit an accord detrimental to other countries...
