...ages of seven and 20 years"-that was what Dictator-King Alexander of Jugoslavia created last week by a pen-scratch. In Italy a similar militia, for boys only, called Balilla* has been formed by the inventor of this apt scheme for bending twigs of youth, Signor Benito Mussolini.

As to the third, hostile propaganda, it is a well known fact that Mussolini is conducting in this country propaganda foreign to our ideals but we have not refused recognition to Italy, and, further, there is some question whether the United States, in the many Latin American nations under its thumb, as well as by its heavy subsidies to Poland, is not doing infinitely...
