...serious debtor and a smiling creditor-Count Giusseppi Volpi, Finance Minister of Italy and the Rt. Hon. Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. Chancellor of the British Exchequer. A sleek, bearded Latin and an expansive, rubicund Briton. The most powerful self-made Italian industrialist, and the most genial onetime First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty.

What they said to each other naturally remained a diplomatic secret. But the two sets of public opinion between which they were...
Signer Maffi, leader of the minute Communist Opposition in the Italian Chamber, flayed the Locarno Pacts when they were presented for ratification last week: "To the false democracy of bourgeois governments which met at Locarno, we Communists oppose the desire for peace of Soviet Russia, which is the only country in the world willing and ready to discuss the question of disarmament. . . .

De Sabata, an Italian "modern," was represented by "Gethsemane," a symphonic poem, vague, impressionistic-night in a lonely garden, a stern voice breaking through the darkness to speak the awful law of redemption through renunciation; dawn, stillness, prayer; carefully explained but shallow, unoriginal music for which even the philanthropic genius of a Toscanini could not achieve distinction.
