...friendship of Yugoslavia and France-such friendship, plus faith in the League of Nations having ever been the cornerstone of the Little Entente. It reminded scarcely anyone that the French statesmen with whom Alexander was friendly were moderate Democrats, men who would have liked to exterminate the Socialist who is Premier of France today. Another card well played last week was for Democrat Benes to tell his hosts that of course Czechoslovakia is overjoyed that Yugoslavia and Italy have buried their enmity, adding merely that Czechoslovakia will have to withdraw like Belgium into a desperate neutrality if Yugoslavia and Rumania...

Alec ran off with the 16-year-old governess, had a child by her, finally married her apathetically after turning down Betsy's offer to come back to him. Betsy married her rich, aged, Socialist cousin Max. The children took sides, floundered precariously trying to adjust themselves to their parents' sorry conjugal relations...

Jews number about 27,000, Italians some 36,000, and sporadic nomads account for the rest. That Italy owns Libya she owes to her famed Socialist, the late Giovanni Giolitti, who was five times Premier, staged the Libyan War in 1911. He was hotly accused by moderates and conservatives of "unconstitutional conduct in declaring war without the consent of Parliament," but nothing succeeds like success. After Socialist Giolitti had annexed administration of Libya, from Turkey...
