...French. Mussolini promised to agitate no more over Tunisia. The gist of what Laval promised Mussolini about Tunisia was that certain special rights enjoyed by Italians for many years in this French protectorate, will be guaranteed at least until 1965. As soon as the Cabinet of Premier Leon ("French New Deal") Blum was formed, Italians began receiving ever stronger impressions that these rights would be taken away...
Hope. If the Premier bosses the country, Paul bosses the Premier, particularly his foreign policies. Yugoslavia, too, has a Good Neighbor doctrine. Up to Munich its best Neighbors were Rumania and Czechoslovakia, which with Yugoslavia functioned as the French-backed Little Entente. Yugoslavia now is a key power in the four-year-old Balkan Entente- Yugoslavia, Rumania, Greece, Turkey. All these States grabbed land from Bulgaria after the Balkan and World Wars, and the one thing they have most in common is their resolve not to give any of it back.

In France, where the journalistic roost is messy indeed because of the old French practice of outright bribes to newspapers, Premier Edouard Daladier was reported to have proposed to his Cabinet specific measures to "correct many of the evils existing under our unrestricted freedom of the press." Most French papers have accommodated the Government by suppressing the more unpleasant facts about the recent Nazi pogrom. A general toning down of all references to Adolf Hitler & Germany was last week believed to be part...
