LONDON AIR-MAIL LETTER

The Chief Scout: Herr Hitler I Venice: Shahi Of Persia On Ascot: Mr. Roosevelt And A "Terrible Disgrace: A Salamander Philosophy: The First Atlantic Flight:

London, June 20

A friend who was at Venice for the meeting of the Duce and the Fuhrer tell me that things did not always go smoothly.

Signor Mussolini was by no means pleased

the police with arrangements. On Occasion the crowd near the Doge's Palace broke through the police cordon

and surged round him.

Reasons of safety caused signor Mussolini to go to the Excelsior on the Lido. The road leading from Mestre to the Villa Pisani. where He had originally intended to stay, is difficult to patrol emciently.

The Duce refused to risk motor- ing along this late at night

The Villa Pisani has been 197- lucky with former eminent visi- tora Napoleon, the Emperor Franz Joseph, and Victor Emmänüël II.

All of them mysteriously abandon-

ence.

The Unpretentious' Fahrer Herr Hitler's unpretentious de meancur, contrasted with the Duce's, falled at first to impress the Venetian public.
