...Great stir greeted word that Belgium had actually adopted the no-credit-to-Italy sanction, but this exciting news proved false. At week's end only Communist Russia had officially shut off extension of credits to Fascist Italy. Bursting with suspicion, Russia's Foreign Commissar Litvinoff glared at Geneva's assembled Capitalist statesmen, told them tartly that the Soviet Union will keep vigilant watch and at the first sign that they are chiseling on sanctions will herself resume trade with Italy...

About 2 a. m. Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Dictator Mussolini's Chief Delegate to the League, also arrived at Aix-les-Bains and went to bed. At 9:30 next morning the hard, astute Fascist Baron breakfasted with comfortable, pipe-sucking Stanley Baldwin and they conferred for an hour before the minister wound up his holiday water-cure and returned to London...
