With London's airport fogbound last week British Foreign Secretary "Flying Sam" Hoare left for Paris by train & boat instead of plane. Ninety minutes after his arrival Sir Samuel was closeted with Premier Pierre Laval and the permanent experts who make British and French foreign policy, Sir Robert Vansittart and M. Alexis Leger, plus their sub-experts on Ethiopia, Mr. Maurice Peterson and Count Rene de Saint-Quentin. The tension and excitement were terrific. Upon the table lay in draft form on crisp sheets "The Deal...

"We have no wish to humiliate Italy nor to weaken Italy," cried Britain...
...speech closed with a great buttering of Japan as Sir Samuel alluded to the current reduction of North China to the status of a Japanese puppet (see p. 22) in these terms: "I can only regard as unfortunate that events should have taken place which, whatever the actual truth of the matter may be, lend color to the belief that Japanese influence is being exerted to shape Chinese internal political developments and administrative arrangements. Anything which tends to create this belief can only do harm to the prestige of Japan and hamper the development, which we all desire...
