...Fascism is maintained by violence and ultimately will be met by counter violence, but not while Mussolini retains his power. Liberty is the preservation of minority criticism. This has been eliminated." Many Italians in the Southern Tyrol have Austrian names. Last week King Vittorio Emanuele signed a Cabinet decree ordering all families in the Tyrolese province of Trento to adopt a strictly Italian spelling of their names, even though the offending syllables might have to be completely translated. Il Benito had taken care to see that fines up to 25,000 lire ($1,000) were provided for nonobservance...
...taking their Christmas recess." Historians recalled that the Poles have been "pulling through" under adversity for generations. The anciently independent state known as "Poland" was twice partitioned among Prussia, Russia and Austria -at the end of the 18th Century and at the beginning of the 19th. In 1914 only "Austrian Poland" was autonomous. During the war Austro-German forces occupied "Russian Poland," and in 1916 Wilhelm II and Franz Josef proclaimed the independence of "Poland" without defining the area which they referred to by that term. Repeated attempts were then made by "Poles" to organize a government among themselves...

Last week 72-year-old Dr. Lorenz came again with "Enjoy all vices in moderation." He came, he said, to note the progress of the cripples he treated in 1921-22 and possibly to operate on other cripples...
...outdone by the science of biology, which has held the limelight for the past half-century through its discovery of the origin of man, geology is making a bid for prominence with a brand new theory of the origin of continents. The other day Professor Wegener of the Austrian University of Graf, while training his hyper-scientific powers of observation on a map of the Atlantic, noticed that the American coast line would fit into the Afro-European one as exactly as the pieces of a picture puzzle. From this interesting phenomenon, he deduced the theory that they had indeed...
