Eden and Chamberlain Near Break Over Italian Pact
London reports say Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden may resign over the rift between Prime Minister Chamberlain and Mussolini amid fears of Nazification in Europe. Morrison, a former cabinet minister, calls Eden a prisoner of his advisers as ministers weigh Britain’s stance with Italy and the broader anti German policy. The extraordinary session follows Eden’s February 12 meeting and renewed talks with Grandi, while Chamberlain pursues a limited alliance with Italy to curb German influence.
