...victorious France. The shadow of a renascent, threatening Germany was beginning to fall over the Balkans, however, and neighboring Fascist Italy had never been too friendly with Yugoslavia. In fact, accomplices of the Croatian desperadoes who killed Alexander were subsequently harbored in Italy. And Yugoslavia drastically reduced her Italian trade when the League of Nations voted sanctions in the Ethiopian...
...biggest wastepaper converters in the East, Clifton is a family-owned business. The family is the Desiderios, father and seven sons. Frank Desiderio, a strapping, grey-haired Italian, arrived in the U. S. in 1904, penniless, unemployed, unable to speak English.

Thus, while Mussolini had no choice but to swallow the distasteful Austrian "Anschluss," Hitler...

And the dominance of this sea by any single nation would imperil the "drang nach Osten." Recent events have only emphasized the importance to Germany of maintaining the divided control there is at present; for the Reich, barred by a hostile Rumania from access to the Black Sea, is now trying to make Yugoslavia her vassal and Mediterranean outlet. German interests have thus come into conflict with the Italian dream of a "Mare Nostrum...
