...last week, to fair Assisi, where once St. Francis preached the joy of a holy life in poverty. There were some on the excursion trains last week who cared not a bean for the first Franciscan. But all were ardent Fascists who pilgrimaged to see the poet-hero of Fascismo, famed Gabriele D'Annunzio...
...downpour . . . then an island. Commander Francesco de Pinedo consulted his fuel gauges. Yes, there might be enough left. The maps said only 270 miles from this island, Fernando Noronha, to Port Natal on the easternmost shoulder of South America. There must be enough fuel left, for the glory of Fascismo.

With Italian Fascismo at its furious apogee, kindred militant Christians in Southeastern Europe are gathering strength once again to repress the Jews.

Last week, when a correspondent asked, "Are personal Liberty and Fascismo compatible?" Il Duce replied: "The conception of liberty is not absolute because there is no conception that can be absolute. Fascismo is opposed to excessive individualism. It is not opposed to individualism. On the contrary, we believe in variety, differentiation, the essential inequality of man. The 18th and 19th Centuries experimented with democracy. In the 20th Century democracy should reach its maturity...
