Jagged cakes of ice jostled each other in the Danube last week as lights flashed in the Royal Palace overlooking Budapest where statesmen sat down to nibble caviar and quaff champagne. The party was a meeting of the Rome Protocol States, organized over three years ago when Benito Mussolini succeeded in more definitely attaching Austria and Hungary to Italy as satellites. What was afoot was a whole series of moves by Fascists and Fascist sympathizers: 1) against Leftist Spain; 2) against the League of Nations; 3) against Communism; and 4) against France...

To make up his mind on one point he telephoned from Cairo, Egypt to Vichy, France where an eminent expert on protocol was taking a water cure. The question was whether to crown His Majesty with the golden fillet once worn by Ancient Egypt's King Tutankhamen and only unearthed in recent years.
