Just before Baron von Neurath entrained for home a glowing communique was issued "reaffirming the two Governments' determination to continue to follow a common policy in all major questions." Thus was the ground finally prepared for what, if it comes off next month, will be the axis-forging climax: a meeting between Hitler and Mussolini at Berlin...
