...Foreign Minister Aristide Briand of France who recently declared: "I would meet him [Mussolini] at any time without displeasure." (TIME, Dec. 12). As an earnest that these sentiments are sincere, the French Government suppressed, last week, the anti-Fascist journal Corriere Degli Italiani published at Paris, after its editor had headlined: "One man [obviously Mussolini] must die for his country!" In future, declared the French Foreign Office last week, all articles tending to incite antiFascists to assassinate Il Duce will be pitilessly suppressed in France.

...attempting his major task of providing Christmas amusement for us, the editor has rightly refrained from oversubtlety. It may seem to some that he might have allowed himself just a shade more licence in this respect. But the writer at least will not quarrel with him. With admirable good nature he has attempted to be all things to all men. The Puritan is given, in the ballad of Sir Brazen-pants, a story with a moral; the classical scholar cannot fall to derive satisfaction from the Christmas Version of "Times Danaos": while all must be stimulated by an entirely...
