...finest attack of nervous indigestion in all Europe descended last week upon the lean Roman abdomen of Baron Pompeo Aloisi. This hawk-eyed, hollow-cheeked diplomat who since 1932 has served Italy as chief delegate to the League of Nations, found himself rudely summoned from his Geneva apartment, plumped down in a small private dining room before a table full of Swiss food, and talked to, straight from the shoulder, by two nervous, irritable statesmen whose friendship he valued, whose ability he recognized, whose view point he could understand. It was a dreadful meal. The soup got cold, the champagne...
...decision on Monday to wash its trembling hands of the Chaco affair and drop the bowling brat on the doorway of Argentine and Chile, the League cast before it the shadow of its inevitable conduct in this new crisis. It is faintly humorous that Baros Pompeo Aloisi should be the one to express on behalf of Europe boisterous applause at the policy of leaving American affairs in the hands of Americans. In a similar mood the League's reluctance to meddle in the private lives of her friends in Asia has already formed a none too bright chapter of world...

If the Committee gets bogged before Feb. 15, Baron Aloisi will ask the Council to meet in extraordinary session, cut Gordian knots...

With the telltale map whisked out of the way, the League Council sat down to hear from Italian Delegate Baron Pompeo Aloisi more about Abyssinian "aggression.'' There was, for example, the preliminary incident at Gondar, when Abyssinians shot an Italian consulate guard, after which II Duce magnanimously exacted nothing more than a 1,000 lire ($85) indemnity. In Rome last week the modern Caesar was acclaimed, as every leader...
...entry. The Swiss Government, strongly conservative, grew so excited that Swiss reporters at Berne conjectured fantastically, "If Russia is admitted we may resign and the League may have to move out of Switzerland." It took M. Barthou, Sir John and the Italian Chief Delegate, tall, hollow-cheeked Baron Pompeo Aloisi, about 24 hours to get the drafting work going quietly forward again in hotel rooms without protest...
