of

Adolf

of

for

visit
to

The
attitude
of

was
described
by
observers
as
one
of
"polite
enthusiasm."
In

to
Premier
Benito
Mussolini,
King
Victor,
Emmanuel
also
took
part
personally
In
the
welcome
to
the
German
chancellor.
The
chief
note
of
the
official
welcome
was
that
friendly
relations
between
Italy
and
Germany
were
as
strong
as
ever
although
the
belief
of
neutral
political
observers
is
that
the
Rome-Berlin
axis
may
not
be
as
stable
as
before
since
it
was
not

essential
to
Italy
following
the
negotiation
of
