Tresca, son of a wealthy landowner, came over from his native Italy as a steerage immigrant in 1904. He knew one Benito Mussolini, the Socialist who had told him "Tresca, you are not radical enough."

He was a liberal democrat in the sense that he claimed an unlimited right to think, criticize, discuss and suggest, and he was a socialist in his antagonism to personal, racial or national monopolization. . . . Wells was a copious and repetitive essayist upon public affairs and a still more copious writer of fiction. . . . The question whether he was to be considered a 'humorist' was discussed but never settled...
