Being a very ardent reader of TIME for some years, I thought it only my duty to write and let you know just how it helped me out recently.

The most ardent partisans of Irish rebellion are to be found in the U. S., where a great many of the Catholic clergy are of Irish origin. In Manhattan last month, I.R.A. clubs joined other Irish groups in a "monster commemoration" of Ireland's Easter Week Rebellion of 1916. As noted...
...French Fleet had one end of the Mediterranean tied up and the English had the other. Nevertheless, flushed by its recent conquest of Albania, Fascist Italy last week talked, screamed, shrieked empire. One night tens of thousands of ardent black-shirted Fascists marched from their neighborhood clubs to Rome's famed Piazza, di Venezia.
