To see about answering it, Mussolini sent to Berlin his recently-appointed Foreign Minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano, husband of the Dictator's favorite child Edda...

Al though from time to time Il Duce snorts "My successor has yet to be born!1', and although he probably believes there can be no successor to MUSSOLINI, he has, as a father, no objection to Daughter Edda's unconcealed ambitions for her Galeazzo.

She wants her Count to have the glory of being Italian Foreign Minister when it comes about that Sanctions are lifted-and shrewd Benito Mussolini does not want to be his own Foreign Minister in case Italy's great diplomatic offensive fails. If Il Duce was a little soft and sweet to his daughter last week, he abandoned none of his watchful astuteness. Edda herself...
