...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...

After routine duty in South America, he went to Peiping where he served under one of Italy's great masters of diplomacy, Daniele Vare, the Minister to China and an eminent student of its lore. During this time Admiral Ciano, with the astuteness of an old campaigner, was on watch in Rome and when he found that Premier Mussolini was about to solve the "Roman Question" by making a treaty with Pope Pius...
...propaganda neither Edda nor Galeazzo saw much future. When Il Duce got ready to start a war, they did, however, see that Count Ciano as an aviator dropped the first bombs, and was the first Italian to alight in Addis Ababa. He and the Dictator's two bombing sons did so well at making headlines for themselves that Father Mussolini ordered that they never be mentioned again in this connection, lest they get swelled heads. Ciano, according to brother aviators, is an in different pilot, but recklessly brave. He eats more spaghetti, prepared with copious melted butter and cheese...
