Carnera last week stuffed his Gargantuan frame into a new uniform, the gaudiest permitted a member of the Fascist militia, and took plane to Rome. For some reason, probably because it had never seen an important prizefight, Rome was wildly excited. Nobody seriously expected much of Uzcudun, the 34-year-old Basque woodchopper whom Carnera had defeated three years ago. Carnera received no money, was merely attempting to strengthen his standing in Italy. But, with a straight face, the New York Times correspondent quoted Carnera...
Totally unready to die, Chancellor Dollfuss was last week busily stuffing up the chinks in his ''Patriotic Front" coalition against Naziism. Already head of the army, police and gendarmerie, he took over the headship of Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg's "White Fascist" Heimwehr. In payment he made Prince von Starhemberg deputy chairman of the Patriotic Front. Thus he prevented the hot-headed Prince from going off half-cocked and had the Heimwehr men to help him break any strikes the Socialists may call. He dissolved the Socialist singing society, the Sängerbund...
When the N.R.A. was first documented there were many who suspiciously scented a rat in the structure, saying that it had Fascist proclivities of a disturbing nature. The latest "fighting speech" of General Johnson will not do much to allay these worries. Dragging out the musty old rhetorical formula of banker and steel-worker pulling together in sweet harmony toward Prosperity, the General has added as a corollary that strikes are inimical to that teamwork; and this declaration has been approvingly echoed in the press everywhere. In place of the strike, "mediation boards" are to settle all industrial disputes...
...this has been a recognized plank of Fascist policy since that party came to the fore, and its adoption by the N.R.A. will be an unpleasant piece of plagiarism. For these boards cannot possibly discover violations of code agreements unless apprised of them by the labor of each industry: the job of policing would be entirely too vast, and the violations could be too easily veiled. It is asking a great deal of Labor, which contrary to silly reports of selfishness, has not been able, in the larger industries, to raise its individual weekly wages above the regular depression...
...buoyant egoism which has led him to exploit his four feet eleven inches as a little Napoleon, and supported by considerable religious fervor, he has snatched at every straw to consolidate his position. To take the wind from Nazi sails, he has become a real dictator with actually Fascist principles, though professedly an amorphous Christian Socialism. How long will he last? That he is still in office can only, I think, be regarded as inexplicably good luck. He has run afoul of the strong Vienna Socialist Party; the patriotism which he has endeavored to arouse has a weak historical basis...
