Last week's oration was the grand finale to Italy's summer war games in Sicily, was evidently intended to be a curtain raiser for new developments in Italian foreign policy. Throughout the Fascist Empire 43,000,000 Italians, obedient to orders of the Fascist Grand Council, stopped work, streamed into public squares to hear broadcast their master's voice.

Three competent attorneys appeared for Dr. Dibelius; the public was admitted except when Minister Kerrl was present; the press was admitted throughout the trial...
...pulpits of the principal Serbian Orthodox Churches in Yugoslavia last Sunday, and slowly read out the names of 141 members of Parliament, nine Cabinet Ministers, including that of Yugoslavia's Premier Milan Stoyadinovich. In Belgrade stolid worshipers listened in grim silence, but in other churches congregations throughout the countryside piously ejaculated "May He Be Damned!" as each name was pronounced...
