...Italy's foreign policy," says Harold Nicolson, British M. P., essayist, novelist, onetime diplomat, "is to acquire by negotiation an importance greater than can be supplied by her own physical strength. It is thus the antithesis of the German system, since instead of basing diplomacy on power she bases power on diplomacy.

Even better are the Curtiss fighters bought and proved by France, for many more of which both Britain and France were ready to bid last week (see p. 16). A story in London's Sunday Pictorial last month was certainly calculated to put into the R. A. F. any heart it may not have derived from its proved ability to handle the Germans to date. This story told of "mass executions of some of Germany's best pilots" following their refusal to fly for fear their planes had been sabotaged or because there were not enough Messerschmitts fighters...
