Today -100: September 9, 1923: Of efficient cows

The Conference of Ambassadors sets the terms for Greece kissing Italy’s ass over the assassination of Enrico Tellini & co., which are pretty much the same terms Italy set forth for kissing its ass, including the 50 million lire reparations, leaving out only the demand for the death penalty for the assassins of the Italian border commission team (who won’t be caught anyway). Whether that’s because the ambassadors genuinely think Mussolini’s demands are just or because they believe he’ll just ignore the Conference if they don’t give him what he wants, I dunno.

Anyway, this frees up Mussolini to bully Yugoslavia over Fiume.

The Irish Free State joins the League of Nations. Abyssinia next?
