Last week Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop called on Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano at Milan. Foreign correspondents guessed that Italy was balking at helping, even morally, her ally Germany against her old tried-&-true friend Poland, and that the German Foreign Minister's trip (plus trips by German military men) was simply an attempt to again smooth out ruffled relations.
