"Italy Holdings in Asia Frozen.... Japanese place Italian citizens under protective custody.... Vessels seized." People here think the following is significant: "His Majesty [Hirohito] grants audience to 14 Generals"; but not the following: "Duce on way to confer with Hitler." Not so for the Commentator: "Hitler's Faith in Mussolini Symbol of Axis Unity." By Japan's own admission (frozen assets, vessels seized) one third of the Axis is kaput but the Commentator is still harping about Solidarity!
