...Duce v. II Papa. The cold and formal relations existing today between the Government of Italy and the Vatican are due, in no small measure, to that shadow of mutual suspicion still cast by the original anti-Roman Catholic proclivities of Signor Mussolini, which loom so large in the pages of Claudia...
...purely secular Despot who tolerates and uses the Church for his own ends. Recently when Signor Mussolini felt himself strong enough to suppress all Italian Papist youth organizations, such as the Roman Catholic Boy Scouts, he did so (TIME, April 9).

Senator Mosconi is not, like his predecessor, a self made man or a titan of private finance. But he has served the new Feudal Duce with ready obedience as Prefect of Triest; and he was recently Royal Commissioner to the Venetian province ceded to Italy by Austria-Hungary, after the War-a province wherein the Mosconi were granted lands and certain Hungarian titles in the 16th Century...
