...days Premier Tatarescu, his resignation not yet accepted by irresolute King Carol, strutted bravely at Bucharest, an amazing Balkan bantam who had tut-tutted Der Führer and Il Duce. Next came crash!-and CRASH!-the replies of Berlin and Rome. The angry Dictators in almost identical telegrams slapped King Carol in the face by telling the Royal Rumanian Government officially that the envoys of Germany and Italy had attended in their private capacity "the funeral of the two heroes" and that no ground for asking their recall existed. Friends of Mme Lupescu, "Smartest Woman in the Balkans," were...
With the victory at Málaga, which deprived the Valencia Cabinet of their last seaport on the south coast of Spain, came a tough problem for the Italian press. As yet Il Duce does not choose to make it official that Italian forces are fighting in Spain, but also last week Benito Mussolini did not choose to keep his people fror glorying in a victory won largely by Italia arms. The solution: Italian papers printed nothing from their own correspondents about Málaga, reprinted under banner headlines stories in which London, Paris, Berlin and other papers had spilled...
Significantly meanwhile British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, no friend of Il Duce, went to "vacation" on the French Riviera, although Mr. Eden has only just finished enjoying the long English Christmas and New Year holidays. In London foreign policy was thus in full charge of Sir Robert Gilbert Vansittart, a leading figure last year in "The Deal" which sealed the fate of Haile Selassie (TIME, Oct. 14, 1935 et seq.). Last week such veteran correspondents as the New York Times P. J. Philip scarcely veiled their overwhelming hunch that the French, Italian and German Ambassadors and Sir Robert were sealing...

At Rome that sympathetic female correspondent to whom so many statesmen find it easy to talk, Mrs. Anne O'Hare McCormick, had a long session on Spain with Mussolini. Crisply he said that Europe's first task must be to end Spain's war, that no other European problem of consequence can be solved until...
...Boiled down they amounted to this: Spain's White Leader is "an admirer of the way in which Fascism has stemmed the advance of Communism in many countries. He would remake Spain into a close approximation of the Italian Fascist Corporative State as set up and run by Il Duce. He answered in the negative Mr. Howard's question whether he is a Free Mason, adding a blanket disclaimer that his Whites have anything to do with the Grand Orient. Franco affirmed that his Government would negotiate a concordat with the Vatican, insuring that Spain remain Catholic...
