Most Ambitious Woman in Europe

OUNTESS EDDA CIANO, Mussolini's eldest daughter, who has given birth to three chil- dren and the Rome-Berlin Axis during eleven years of married life, is seeing her dreams of a great new Roman Empire go up in smoke from the charred ruins in Africa.

She has stumped Europe for the last five years- wearing the family diplo- matic trousers-the most ambitious woman in Eu-

rope.

Her personal vanity has influenced great events.

In Rome the

women

who dislike her aggressive ways blame her for the present war.

Countess Ciano is Mus- solini's favourite child. She is different from the podgy Vittorio and Bruno, the fine weather flyers who machine-gunned Ethiopian tribesmen, and- Romano and Anna Maria, the younger children. So different that the report has been long current in -European-capitals-that- her mother was a Russian woman Socialist who cap- tivated the labour agitator who was later to rule Italy.

Her age is doubtful,

back to Rome disgruntled.

She had been made much of by English people during a previous trip to India. The Viceroy, Lord Halifax, then Lord Irwin,

had entertained her.

But the heart of the British Empire had not stirred at her arrival. And she did not like it.

A year later, in fateful 1936, she went to Berlin.

Italians believe that she is the only person in the world, since her uncle Arnaldo Mus- solini died, who can in the slightest way affect Musso- lini's decisions.

She does not admit it.

Once she was asked if she would like to be his secretary.

"I can help my father best by tenderness," she replied. "I am interested in music and aculpture. Politics leave me indifferent. In the Duco I sce only the man who is my father."

To these remarks Rome socialites use the phrase with which Edda herself surprised Sir

The father, now dead, had been chosen by the Fascist Supreme Council as his suc- cessor, should one be needed. He was a man once of small fortune but died one of the richest men in Italy.

The younger Ciano, after a spell na man about town and another as gossip writer for a little-known Italian news- paper, was slowly rising in the Fascist scale. He went to Shanghai after his marriage, but it was not long before he returned to become in due course Foreign Minister.

Four months later her husband signed the Axis Treaty with Germany.

"Edda was the mother," said the Berlin wits. "Hess was the father by proxy." MUSSOLINI'S dictate that home is contradicted every day of the year by Edda's uc- tivities.

While shooting parties have been scouring Hongkong bills for a sight of the wild dog pack which has fre- quently been reported on the cast side, Mr B. A. Hyder of Shaukiwan claims to have two pup's from a wild
