...bury the corpse!" cried Orator Arthur Greenwood, presenting Labor's motion. "Mussolini has been tricked over Austria, yet in Mussolini's hour of weakness the British Government has gone to his rescue! . . .

Moreover, there are 25,000 Albanian-born Christians in the U. S. Most of the 10,000 living in New England belong to the Christian Albanian Church. The founder of this church, named Fan Stylian Noli, is a Harvard classmate (1912) of Humorist Robert Benchley, Steelman Hugh Gaddis, Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, Kermit Roosevelt.
