...whole populace of wages and the cost of living, presumably simultaneously, both of the items to be lowered by ten or twelve per cent. Faced with severe international competition in the shrinking world market, Italy is forced, says Mussolini, to lower costs drastically.

Louisiana is being governed under an imposed dictatorship, preserving only the formalities of parliamentarism. It is being so governed by a group historically associated with the solidification of the present social and economic order. The trouble with forums and the people who patronize...
