Moreover, before the Rumanian Senate, Youth Leader General Theophilus Sidorovici disclosed that Benito Mussolini would guarantee Rumanian frontiers. That Carol was at any rate listening to Herr Hitler's propositions was evident when Premier George Tatarescu's Government released 786 Iron Guard terrorists from jail...
...Russo-Finnish war (see p. 19), Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop suddenly announced a visit to Rome. According to one version, it was so sudden that not even Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano knew the Germans were coming until the day before they arrived. Herr Ribbentrop has a bad habit (for the Allies) of signing world-shaking treaties and pacts when he appears in foreign capitals. British diplomats quickly patched up a deal with Italy over the coal, and thus took the wind out of the Ribbentrop sails before he had passed the Brenner...

Most extraordinary surmise as to the text of Pope and Minister's secret conversation came from Herbert L. Matthews of the New York Times. He thought the German had proposed an anti-Bolshevik crusade...
