...this is treated, not as a sign of the times, but as an individual eruption unrelated to the larger questions of the forum. Why is Long in Louisiana less of a political phenomenon than Mussolini in Italy? Italy is larger than Louisiana. But if a Long arose in Switzerland, I wonder how long we would wait before the cry of Fascism went up among...
...Steinway protege holds the record for having been asked there most often. He is Ignace Jan Paderewski, whom the Steinways first brought to the U. S. He has played for five successive administrations but this season his neuritis is too bad for him to leave his home in Switzerland.

In several chapters there he points out with deserving bitterness the irony involved when British soldiers were smeared all along the Dardenelles by British-made guns sold to the Turkish government, when Germany and France exchange arms shipments through Switzerland during the war, or when revolutions and wars are fomented in small countries to drum up trade for guns. It will be exceedingly interesting to see how far the Radical Socialist Party (which is very much more conservative than its name) can or will go in its attempt to control nationally the movements...
