Mussolini ties Albania to Italy as Greece pledges restraint
Rome reports Mussolini makes Albania’s crown symbolic of union with Italy while Greece accepts Il Duce’s pledge to respect Greek territorial integrity. Italy plans to act on Albania’s offer to crown King Zog as Vittoria Equaguelo, with cabinet decisions due Friday and Saturday. The move appears to tighten Italian influence in the Balkans and control oil and resources, amid fears of a German-Italian axis.
