Yoes, Seaforth, Ont) Berlin, Germany, June, 1938. Dictator Benito Mussolini, Rome, Italy. My Dear Benito: I'm in a sweat --a quandary—a dither—any old thing you want to call it. That's why I am appealing to you in this 'hour, of trouble. My gosh, Benito! I hardly know which way to turn. I'm bedeviled and ne- dam•ned. And all because there is a nasty leak somewhere in my organiza- tion. Yes, sir—a leak. And that is something we dictators cannot toler- ate, Each and every day stories come to my ears that simply makes my hair curl. It's awful! And I of- ten wish I was back lapping up free beers and living on the cuff like I did before the dictator bug bit me. Those were, indeed, glorious days. I revelled in- what I was going to db. But somehow or other I have a darn- ed bitter taste in my mouth right rictus My nervous system is being shaken to the very limit.
