...little King's political opponents had not held firm. First to break the united front of the six anti-Fascist parties, which at Bari last January called for the King's abdication, were the Communists. Pronounced their little, bespectacled leader, Palmiro Togliatti, recently returned from a long exile in Moscow: The "monarchical question" must be "shelved in the interests of national unity" and the war against Germany. Philosopher Benedetto Croce then expressed willingness to serve in a coalition government. Count Carlo Sforza, most bitter critic of the tarnished House of Savoy, also appeared ready to go along...

Lately, ordinary Italians have dubbed him lo stupido nazionale and il buffone (clown...
Invited by the Times to write an article denning an "American Fascist," Henry Agard Wallace in five columns of its Sunday Magazine loosed a steaming storm of generalities that boiled down to two favorite Wallace targets: 1) international trade cartels; 2) business monopolies. The demagogues and stooges who "poison the channels of public information," wrote Mr. Wallace, are mere fronts for those who "in case of conflict put money and power ahead of human beings." By that definition he judged there are "undoubtedly several million" U.S. Fascists and "there are probably several hundred thousand if we narrow the definition...
