After the champagne came the meeting's muttons. Dictator Mussolini, Son-in- Law Ciano and Baron von Neurath discussed Spain. They agreed that Italian and German troops were failing to pull the Spanish chestnut out of the Radical fire, that Germany and Italy must get out before they themselves are burned.

On orders from Il Duce himself, all Italian correspondents were recalled from Britain, all British newspapers, with the exception of the pro-Fascist Daily Mail, Evening News and Sunday Observer, were barred from Italy, and a semi-official boycott of the entire British Coronation was clamped on the Italian press.
