Present Italy Will Be
Discussd by Salvemini

Professor Gaetano Salvemini will de-
liver an address on “The present-day
Italian Situation” in the Music Room
of Goodhart Hall on Saturday evening,
March 2, 1929.

Professor Salvemini has spoken at
Bryn Mawr" more than once before.
His career has qualified him only too
well to give the anti-Fascist viewpoint,
but his scholarship and wide knowl-
edge-of-affairs assure a viewpoint that]
is historically accurate as peel as per-
sonally emphatic. ~~ :

Professor. Salvemini, Ph. D., Uni-
versity of Florence, 1894, was a
Secdndary. School Teacher, in Palmero,

‘Faenza, Lodi and Florence, from 1895

to 1902; at the University of Messina
from 1902 to 1909; at the University of
Pisa ffom 1910 to 1916; at the Univer-
sity of Florence from 1916 to 1925. ‘He
held the position of editor of the week-
ly paper L/Unita from 1911 to 1921 and

ment from November, 1919, to AprilMas to whether Noah’s flood had left the

1921. He was arrested under charge of
lese majeste in June, 1925, amnestied
on July 31, 1925. Left Italy in August,
1925, and sent in his resignation from
his chair of History on November 5,
1925.. On December, 1, 1925, the Min-
ister for Education, disregarding his
resignation, dismissed him from _ his
chair for being absent—from- -his post.

FRANKLIN FIRST - °
_ MODERN SCIENTIST

Fay’ Distinguishes Eighteenth
Century Science “from

Our Own.

STOLEN THUNDER

-On-Tiesday evening; a M.1-
Bernard Fay spoke the Goodhart
auditorium on “Franklin and Eighteenth

Ceypury Science.” M.-Fay is well known
in America as the author of The Ameri-
can Experiment and other books, as well
as by his reputation for being.one of the
most unprejudiced foreigners among our
political critics. The lecture was deliver-
ed in French:

The significance of the word “science”
has changed considerably between the,
eightgenth century and our own. Origi-
nally it applied to a kind of “jeu d’esprit,”
and .was considered fitting only for the
philosophers and intelligentsia of the day.
The study of literature and the arts, on
the other hand, was the practical pro-
cedure to be followed in the education of
any young man preparing for the busi-
ness world. Science consisted solely of
‘theories; it was capable of developing
thought, but in itself it was hardly prac-
tical; itywvas, in truth, disinterested specu-
lation. Towards the beginning of. the
eighteenth century this idea had already
begun to be charfged. It was Franklin
who had a great deal to.do with making
of it a practical study.

Two of the earliest influences ae
a science which was less “disinterested,”
“and -more practical, were-Fontainelle-and
Asaac. Néwton. The: theories of the latter.











in

the otheg hand, they were’ fascinating.
Science Wit bordered. upon the “jeu
esprit.” :

Benjamin Franklin lived and worked
‘in a period when “scientific” problems
could be discussed at great length} and
with little knowledge. There are records

as to whether a certain spring in Ger-
many flowed water during the week, an
wine on ‘Sundays. There was “another

shells and fossils to be found on the tops
of mountains, or whether they. had once
been dropped there by pilgrims. All of
this*sort of thing was carried on in good
Latin and Greek epigrammatic style, by
the most learned “philosophers” of the
time. Even Voltaire is known to have
had his say. These’ “savants” as a rule
wore lace cuffs, and worked in labora-
tories which. were filled with all sorts of.
instruments. They were rathef frighten-
ing «to Ahe ignorant public, and the less
explicable they found a problem to be,
the more beautifully they were able to
write and speak about it.

The Growth of a New Science

Franklin was a scientist of another
He..wore a calico vest, and he
could speak no Latin. He was~ forced to
use English, and therefore it was impera-
tive that he know whereof he spoke. He
made bjs own instruments, and could
carry out his own experiments. a

Balanced Religion

Cadbury Calls Jesus ‘Enemy of
Formalism, Modern Danger
to Belief.

Q

chapel Friday morning, February 22, was

“These things ought ye to have done.

and not left the other things undone.”
He ;hastened to add that he. was not
going tgpreach a sermon but was going
to give a few scattered thoughts.

Balance is one of the most important |

things in religion, Dr, Cadbury stated.
Most people have considered religion as
dealing with” matters of extremes; —re=
ligion is absolute truth; religion is dedi-
cated to some caus@ It is a pity that the
study of religion does not reveal more
about balance.

The Bible, however, has a great deal
of corrective in religion. It mostly at=
tempts to correct its own religion and
1iot that of other people’s. -The correc-
tive element is strong in college. We
have corrective gym and corrective speak-
ing, we might have corrective religion.
Jesus -had a good deal of this corrective.
Dr. Cadbury said that he had wanted at

| different times to -write-on~Jesus’—con=

servatism, and on His realism, but now
he was tempted to write about’ His
sanity.

The Pharisees, continued’ Dr. Cadbury,
were extreme formalists; Jesus was the
sworn enemy of formalism. So a student,
who evidently was an Episcopalian, in
describing Jesus said that'He was a very
lew church person indeed. ‘The “Phari-
sees had a tithe which anyone who grew
any thing had to pay. To make doubly
sure of this the man who bought the
produce took off an additional tenth.
Jesus in his argument against the Phari-
sees did not blame them for the tithe but
jor the things which they ought to have
done in the way of justice, etc. Thy
should have done both. Jesus however
did not overemphasize the doing of good
works. This point. Wr,. Cadbury. illus-
trated by the story of Marthaand Mary.
Martha was certainly zealous in good
works and yet Jesus said that’ Mary had
done the better thing. Then again Jesus
praises a woman who anoints his feet,
for her beautiful deed: All of these
iliustratiéns go to show that Jesus real-
ized the importance. balance. Paul
also recognized this. In his. epistles to
the Corinthians he -says that there are

Modgrn_lifeis.full of extremes, The

atmosphere of Bryn Mawr has, however,

some advanfages_for religion. There are
two groups of moderns; one. with sin-
cere, vigorous,
are likely to/put too much stress on one
form, and the other, uninterested, because
the only religion which they had grown
tip té know. any thing about was dis-
pleasing to-them. They ought “hot to
give up religion for this reason nor
should the first group think that » any one
torm is too good.

The danger, here at Bryn Mawr, Dr.
Cadbury thinks, is'not so much from lack
of balance as from too much. balance;
even ‘balance can be extreme. ‘We need
to mix sane and earnest moral enthusiasm
with intellectuality. But we must cherish
our enthusiasm and try to commute
aloofness into enthusiasm- and enthusi-
asm into aloofness.

Difficulties in Stage
Told by Miss Crawford
Many of-us are interested in the the-
ater, some even have practical ambitions,
but it is seldom that really first hand
information on this subject is vouchsafed
us.

First hand information of a directly
practical nature was what Miss Crawford
of the Theater Guild gave at the Dra-
matics Tea in the Commons room last
Thursday. She left: out all theorizing
and informally poured out hard and use-
ful facts.
ous aspects of woman’s.. work in the
theater and how.best it could be accom-
plished.

_ Speaking about the acting end of the
theater game Miss Crawford said that
at present the New York field was ter-
ribly overcrowded. If you really want
to act professionally after college the
first thing is to decide whether you need
practical training. If so the best way
is either to get in with a reputable stock
company,in almost. any capacity or else
start with some New York Company in
a. walk role. She said that she would
advise against any of the _ theatrical
schools in New. York. They are‘mérelya
waste of. time and money from-a pro-|
fessional _point_of view,-and-do_not-form
contacts that are invaluable afterwards.

If you feel competent to start right in
on professional acting you should go to
New York at the beginning of August,
and 8g and interview managers in a
ceaseless round, One visit is no good as
it is the person on the spot who is given
the job. Casting agencies are useless as
they-never consider people without ex-
perience. Very few producers are will-
ing to consider beginners. Hopkins, Har-
ris, Ames, Brady and Wynan, the Theater
Guild, Provincetown Players, ‘and_ the
Hoboken group,-'these are perhaps the





only ones who are willing to take a_chance}.

with inexpérience. It is far better both
theoretically and for a practical profes-
sional. future. to take a small part in a
good production. than to get a larger. bit
with a shoe-string’ prodiicer. :

This is the way to get a foothold, but
even after the foothold: is obtained a
future @n the stage is both uncertain and
discouraging. The two all-but-necessary
assets are money and influence. A letter
to a producer is a definite door-opener
which thé beginner must have.

The technical angle has three or four
different sides. The stage manager field
has just been opened to women. This
leads possibly and remotely to. being a
director. At present Eva La Gallienne
is the only woman director. If you con-
sider going into stage designing you
should get into. a technical director’s
office, or a designer’s studio and see what
they are doing.

As for the writing end here again in-
fluence is important in getting one’s play|
read and considered, The Forty-Seven
Workshop at Yale is good, as there seems

to be a certain stimulus emanating froma try °

many people all writing plays.

AN OLD QUESTION

Colleges, it seems, can never be
too careful about the opinions ex-
pressed in their newspapers. A
‘short time ago Mr. L. J. Ryan,
editor-in-chief of the daily paper
of the University of Toronto,
wrote and published an editorial
on petting. To us it seemed quite
innocuous. In it he sets forth the
opinion that petting is or should
be generally recognized as an in-
stitution. We might question the
taste or-intelligence involved in

- the selection of this subject, but





we could not object to the rather
general remarks. made upon it.
However the Board of Governors
of. the university did object, and
‘that strongly. To be fair, this
‘editorial did not form the whole
grounds for their objection. There

AN OUTRAGE

It’s a long time since the News took
|.it,.on itself.to..administer.. reproot.in.re-
gard to matters domestic. It seems be-
neath the News, and beneath. the.College. |
But the necessity having arisen, we are
obliged to ¢all attention to-a few facts:

It is éne thing t take books 'from the;
Goodhart shelves: find forget to return |
them, as has syidekthy héen doné in the
case 6f the two books of poems by dna
St. Vincent. Millay. But it is another
thing deliberately to deface college prop-
erty, especially the furniture of Goodhart,
which was paid for by a tremendous and !
generous effort on the part of the
Alumnae, although they will never have
a chance to benefit from &ny of the gifts
they have thus made to the undergrad-
uates. Someone has drawn ‘pictures on
the parchment lampshades in the Self-
Government room. One crude ink draw-
ing seems to represent a rowboat, and
the other a steamship. We wish the per-
son or persons who conceived these little!
devices would get into-their little row-!
boats and steamships, and sail away and|
stay there.

Higher Education

‘in France Today

In the past, the average “American |
studied the history of England with ad-

all fields of industry, and the great
growth of the Empire, both accomplished
in a period of political stability and prog-
have usually induced his- praise.
On the other hand, the various revo
tions resulting in the succession of repub-
lic, kingdom ‘and empire, and the. rapid
changes of government during: the pres-
ent .republican regime, have in the past
caused the average American to evaluate
French historical development in the
‘nineteenth century rather unfavorably.
Recently a change in attitde has been
discernible.

through a great crisis without some’
classes. of the population suffering more

immediately after the war it was gener-
ally felt that the most important action to
take in order to regain, London’s financial
supremacy and thereby retain much. of
England’s commercial predominance, was
to restore the pound sterling to pre-war

"Book Rives
(West-Running Brook, by Robert Frost,
Henry Holt & Co,)
As a rule, modern poets do not grow
old gracefully, They exhaust themselves

published “early work” appears side by
side with new poems which bear the
marks of effort rather than: inspiration.
They try very hard to see things.as they
used to see‘ them; and the result is as
pamful as a fixed gmile on a sad face,

In West-Running Brook Robert. Frost
has somehow avoided these pitfalls, Per-

haps he wouldn’t even like it said, that he|’

was growing old gracefully.. Yet the fact

pte oe
-widor and tensity Of his” egtlier work]
that he is no longer capable of long
passages of sustained power, such as
“Home-Burial” or “A Servant to Seérv-
ants” in North of Boston. Nor has he
shrunk from publishing poems left over
from earlier periods. He frankly gives
the dates, as if willing. to admit that he
has arrived at the age of reminiscence.
From this ‘it follows- that the book is a
collection of scattered thoughts,
the unity of North, of Boston or Moun-
tain Interval,

If
his. strength has failed him, Mr. Frost
has lost none of his charm. Instead of
straining fof the old effects that made
him a name, the -poet actépts his milder

best section of the book ‘is called “Fiat
Nox” and is introduced by this couplet :
“Let the night be too dark fér me to. see
_ Into the future, Let ‘what will bé be.”

If the poems “which toilow are the.
saddest in the collection as well as the
finest, let it not be thought that Mr.
Frost. has turned pessimist. He is too
much a lover of nature to hate life. His’
attitude is one of acceptance, in which
there is joy and faith as well as sadness.

Turning his back on the human psy-
chology which was the essence of North
of Boston, Frost has become ‘more of a
natural psychologist than ever, ‘A tree to
him has'as much character as a man, if
not more; and it is not only for their
form and color that he is fascinated by4
woodsy things. I. like best of all the
poems in this book one called “Tree at
It looks. in at him, and
he looks out at it: :

“But, tree, I have’ seen you taken and
tossed,

You have seen me when I was taken and
swept
And all but lost.”

Echoes of all Mr. Frost’s past work,
however,. may still be found in West-
Running Brook. “Over Back,” a series
of four poems, recalls the keen New Eng-
land studies -of Mountain Interval; the
title poem is a development of the kind
of metaphysical fantasy that was given
free rein in the collection called New
Hampshire;: and there are even faint
echoes of the poet’s early er in San
Francisco, where : :

The Foolishness. of Censorship

Censorship of filth is a good thing, just
as covering garbage is a good thing.
Garbage is covered because it offerids
people’s nostrils, and spreads disease.
Filth is censored for practically the, same
reason.

But the fhost aneasonabte censor of
all is the general public, divided as it is
into groups and cliques. And it censors
everything that doesn’t need to be cen-
“sored. >

~The Y. M. C. A. issued a pamphlet to
guide young people in the affairs of sex.
After it had been broadcast over the
country doing incalculable good, some
cerisors, representing _ the public opinion
“evidently, banned it. One would think
that the pamphlet was doing too much
good for their liking, and that~it“was in
their interests to stop that good being
done. But, mind you, the public was the
real censor, and public protests ordered
the pamphlet to be banned.”

At the University of Michigan, Presi-

thorities to find owt the extent of drink-
ing on the campus.

Much and heated discussion was in-

of Virginia the State superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League addressed a let- |
ter deploring the quantity of*iquor con-
sumed on the campus and. asking the
University to permit Federal prohibition

university grounds, fraternity houses, and

to have.”

and the rest of the world thinks of as

We Defend It

Satlirday was the saving grace. The:
Assembly started its business promptly
with a resolution brought in by the head
of the delegation from the Netherlands
(Mr. John’, Rockefeller, ‘of Princeton)
that the international character of, the |,
Secretariat should be _ strictly preserved
and high ‘offices more evenly distributed
among the Powers. At present there are
five chief*officegrheld by the Great Pow-
ers, thus tending to make the Secretariat
‘a center of. political influence. _ Miss Gell-
horn, representing Italy,*’at once’ took
the floor to defend the wielding of politi-
cal influence : Italy is, a, Jarge.t nation with
vital “ime: cc... hoeterisive’ duties ; *shet”
needs influence and will use it for her
own national good; this was the -burden
of Miss Gellhorn’s remarks, forcefully
put and forcefully expressed. No one
agreed excep# a few minor Powers like,
Chile and- New Zealand, but* everyone
applauded. The ‘only cloud arose from
Miss Gellhorn’s quoting the old maxim
that “God helps those that help. them-
selves.” We heard that phrase thrown
back at us again and again, but only
once with effect. A delegate from the
Netherlands (that is, Princeton) | in-
quired: ““To° what dées Italy Wish. to
help herself?” Twice again, Italy, in the
persons of Miss Gellhorn and Miss Fain
rose to defend het ungrateful but em-
phatic position, and was each time gladly
hailed. As one vote was enough to de-
feat the resolution it was not passed.

The next two resolutions, reported by
the sixth Committee of the Assembly,
and introduced by the head of: the Ger-
man delegation, Mr. Harold M. Long’ (of| =
Colgate College), concerned the matter
of mandates. The first resolved that
compulsory labor, .commonly known as

cal basis for their belief. Franklin was
like them in that his work was not dis-
interested: A solution to. his problems
was important to him bgcause of its prac-
tical value, This was, of course, the new
point of view.

Electricity Causes Furore
In 1744 occurred an ‘event which is

just as thrilling as “a crime, a -king’s
wedding, or the discovery of a two-head-
cd beast.” Electricity was finally isolated
in—-Leyden_jars,_and_discharged so as to
give -a shock, Everybody immediately
wanted a shock, “even as we, today, want
a cocktail.” Philadelphia was a very
modern city, and Franklin, being an up
tu the minute journalist; sent. for some
jars, so.as to shock his neighbors, and
make.a bit of money. This new form df
amusement became’so very popular, how-
ever, that Mrs. Franklin became exhaust-
ed from _keeping the entrance to her4
house as ‘spick and span as it had once
been, Benjamin took pity upon her, and
taught some of his neighbors how to
discharge the jars. This was the found-
ing. of the Philadelphia School. of Elec-
tricity !

About 1748 Franklin got more time to
-himself{-than"he_had_previously had, so he.
set about. considering a question which
was agitating many minds. People sus-
pected that there was some innate con-
nection between thunder and electricity ;
tl ey were a bit-afraid to-go very deeply
into the: problem because thunder, since
the very earliest times, had always been
associated, in one way or another, with
the gods, and more often than not it. was
spoken of as “the plaything of the gods.”
Consequently a great many people, and
especially a number of New. England
pastors, thought that. this problem was
somewhat too irreligious to bear looking
into. It became a burning subject, and
everyone was speaking of sit. In 1749
the Academie de Bordeaux offered’ as
prize to him who could prove, in writing,

same thing. This was more than: ade-

added,--proudly, “came from France.”

By 1752 Franklin had been able to
distingttish positive and “negative elec-
tricity, and he had invented the lightning
rod. Even this practical and useful dis-

covery aroused a great deal-of=adverse*

criticism. It was thought that Franklin
was meddling quite a bit too far in the
It was €ven said,
in am elegant Latin phrase, that “Franklin
has taken the thunder from God, and
given the sceptre to the devil.” This work
was, however, of enormous help to the
cause of the Freemasons: it gave to them
the opportunity to prove certain of their
disillusioned idéas by means of practical
experiment.

manent mandates commission under ex-
ceptional circumstances. Mild as they
were, the resolutions were unanimously
opposed by. the mandatory Powers,
France, Great Britain, Japan, Australia.
-A .substitute resolution providing .for a
more direct method of presenting written
petitions was likewise defeated. Italy did
not: participate in the debate; which (shall
we say nevertheless) was a good one.
The Italian delegation, true to its care-

the personal presentatiom of petitions, but
modified its reactionary stand so far as
to approve the condemnation of com.
spulsory: labor.

The second half of the mandate report
was presented in the afternoon. This
last session was enlivened by G. Ms.
Snellings, delegate from France (also
assigned to Princeton) who seemed to
have the rules of procedure at his finger’s
ends and ee rose to points of
order. :

The last formal resolution, introduced
on behalf of the Sixth Committee, pro-
vided “that the Monroe doctrine should
not be interpreted to ‘preclude the inter-
.vention of the Veague, in accordance with
the covenant;in disputes .to which Ameri-

are’ parties.” A large number of dele-
gations, including the. Italian, spoke in
favor ef this resolution, Miss Hand, for
Italy, spoke third in the debate, urging
in a brief but finished paragraph that
the League is more competent than the
United States to provide machinery for
arbitration and that it would be better)
for all nations to co-operate to perfect
this one instrument of peace than. for
two rival organizations to compete with
a like’ purpose.

One of the French delegations, perhaps
interpreting more practically the probable
attitude of the great Powers towards
such a resolution, spoke against—it,-in—a
tone distinctly conciliatory towards the
United States.

he said, “that students in America -are
holding Model Assemblies of the League.

All prepared agenda being disposed of,
Sweden inaugurated a brief discussion of
the Auland Islands question which re-
sulted in a display -of nationalistic self-
‘assertion By ‘Dentnark and ‘the defeat of
a resolution recommending their annexa-
tion to Sweden. Italy did not vote.
Finally the Assembly joined in passing
a resolution commending the Kellogg!
pact, and, after a short but telling address
from the President of the Assembly, who
recommended abolition of the unanimity
vote, the Model Assembly -was adjourned.
Mr. McDonald, ably summarizing the
proceedings at the dinner Saturday eve-
ning, laid stress on the fact that in just
the proportion that preparation is made
in advance’ good results are obtained. .He
also advised against having outside speak-
ers take part in the actual sessions.

hardship for the manufacturers who had
to struggle with competitors in .other
countries having depreciated currencies
Agriculture was practically forgotten and
is today almost a passing industyy. It’ is
a serious question whether Great Britain
could have fqllowed. any other policy.
But it is interesting how different was
the policy of France.’ France _ stabilized
the. franc. at one-fifth of its pre-war
value, thereby practically: legalizing a
capital levy of 80 per cent. This was a
hardship: for the financial classes and the
rentier, or passivé class in economic so-
ciety, but it saféguarded the entrepreneur
and the peasant as the active classes. °








Moreover, the Frenchman rejoices in
the balance between agriculture ‘and “fn?
dustry that makes his country a far more
self-sufficiig country than Great Britain.
He believes that the marvelous industrial
and imperial expansion of Great Britain
in. the nineteenth century resulted in the
accumulation of great wealth. but at the
expense of an exploitation of the mass
‘of its people. ‘Moreover, he thinks he
has solved great problems which ' still
confront the British, such as the land
question, the relation between church
and state, the dispute between the. lay-
man and the churchman about the school.
Europe passed through a terrible catas-
trophe in the great war. France emerged
victorious. It is true it was with the assist-
ance of her Allies, but. the Frenchman
considers that his institutions stood .the
strain well, that they have justified their
eXistence, and that they should be con-
served. There are. few institutions of
which the Frenchman is more proud
than his system of higher education, the
lycee and the university.

The French Revolution put the middle
class in France in ~control. It
strengthened its control ever since ane
has no intention of relinquishing it. That
control is. maintained largely through ‘the
educational system. The lycee 1s a school



‘for the children of the bourgeoisie, is,

organization and its small fee suffice,
generally spgaking, to keep out the chil-
dren of the ouvriers. In France entrance |

to all the professions, to the higher civil} -

service, in fact to the controlling forces |

in social life generally, is via the lycee. |

The movement in favor. of the ecote
unique, which would build secondary
education upon an elementary school
alike in its curriculum, whether it is a
free school or a pay school, naturally |
has the support of the Socialists, but it
is opposed by the middle classes and by
the officials in control of French educa-
tion. It has much less chance of success
than-has the similar movement in Ger-
many forthe Einheitschule. As—-things
look now,’ the system of higher eéduca-
which. the french have great
and a_ satisfaction almost
yamounting to.complacency, will probably
remain unchanged for a long time.

This is as true of. the university as of
the lycee. Its organization and adminis-
tration remain largely as before the war

Dr. Raiguel Gives Vivid

Impression of Mussolini
Dr. George E. Ratenel, in a brief talk



usual crowded Current Events audi-
ence, gave -his own impressions of. the
Fascist dictator on Tuesday evening.
Mussolini’s regime is a “spirithal in-
terpretation: of Italian Nationalism,’
Dr. Raiguel pointed’ out. He had
questioned Mussoliii on this point. “My

in ”



regime has nothing to do with politics.
It is the organization which best ex-:
presses Italy,” the dictator replied.

Dr. Raiguel did not ignore the bad
points of Fascism: 1s autocratic con-!
trol of the legislature. its minute regula- |
tion of petty offenders. its aggressive ,
foreign policy. But he tried. to give |
Mussolini’s own conception of his mis- 1
sion in Italy.

u“



interpretation of Italy’s attitude to-
wards her natural enemy—Franc&
France, which, she thought, had cheat-

into the arms of the Triple Alliance.
The speaker discribed Italy’s. attitude
in the war, the, accusations that were
brought against her, the dramatic: vic-
tory on the Piavg, which began the
work of freeing fii, from ‘Austrian
armies. ‘* y, wi, e
Dr. Raiguel’s impressions 6f Italy
since the war were given a niore per-
sonal point of view. He was in Milan
in 1921 when there occurred the Fascist
revolt; the revolt of yduth against the
conditions in Italy before Mussolini,

whe

Four years later Dr. Raiguel was able
to measure the.change that’ Mussolini
—cught. Coming down’ from
Stresa he was asked to take,his feet
off the seat, and he saw some other
men pay a fine of ten lira for the same
offense. His baggage was. not lost, his |
compartmént was clean, he saw order |
in the streets and new methods of sani- |
Although he was told this was |
accomplished at the price of graft and
corruption he remembered the dirt and
negligence of the old days and breath-
ed sigh of relief.

In Rome Dr, Raiguel was practically
strangled by, red tape before he got to
see Mussolini. Finally, by arising at
dawn and waiting for hours, it was ac-
complished. Mussolini had been hav-
ing his portrait painted, was bored and
would see him. He went in with pre-
pared questions in order to avoid the
usual pitfalls of “What will happen
when you'die?” or “Have you cancer?
And if not, why not?”

Mussolini said he had not betrayed
but restored the Constitution. The
legislature had* been absolutely — all
functions to itself. The Dictator dis-
tributed them more nationally.

“How do you control the parliament-
ary debate?” the interviewer asked. A
‘flash of autocracy: “The Parliament
discusses what I wish it to.”





Mussolini explained Ttalian hostility
towards America in terms of the im- |

: : a
migration quéstion. - ~ After three and

four generations. we do not accept an
Italian_as one of us; he is stillean alien,
an outcast: Yet, the Swedish, Dutch
or. Polish immigrants are no_ better,
fistamentally. Mussolini drew a con-
trast between Italians returning from}
Brazil'and from the Argentine... From
the Argentine they return second class
or first, with diamond studs,: to get
the wife and children. ; From. Brazil
‘they come back to stay, empty- -handed,

Italiati aggressiveness was explaineda| +

by the. Fascist Dictator French
firmed preparedness. He spoke of the
Tyrolean malconterits as a minority
which ‘nhust become reconciled. Mus-
solini does not approve of minorities.
He is, therefore,.a true democrat, rest-
ing upon the needs and will of the
majority, implacable to minorities, This
is the modern democracy. A political
organization in which the will of all the
people has full scope would be mere},
anarchy. 4, us

with their travel is that they lack in-

\ countries they visit and the work they
are doitig. Many students leave Europe
with. nothing more than a “picture post
card conception” of the countries; that
is, they major on buildings and historic
places, and get little of the life and
struggle of the people. _ This condition
with students of America traveling at
increased rates with commercial con-
cerns, shows a lack of unity in the
American student movement, accord-
ing to the European student’s point of
view. Although in most of. the Amer-
ican colleges the college spirit and
y number of activities surprises our col-
