...speeches Corsican Campinchi makes on his native soil, and in Rome for some time he has been rated a menace by No. 1 Fascist Editor Virginio Gayda who last week could only construe the navy minister's remarks as an attack on the "uncontrolled power" of Benito Mussolini. Editor Gayda recently called M. Campinchia "renegade , Corsican" whose speeches are "the nefarious ravings of a sectarian madman with criminal leanings" and who writes "filthy prose, worthy only of a meeting of drunkards." This tirade was provoked by a Campinchi speech last year to sailors on the French steamer General Bonaparte...
After a few good-natured, accurately aimed Gallic pokes at Dictator Benito Mussolini's habit of forcing his Fascist Party chiefs to jump through burning hoops, hurdle bayonet rows and dive over tanks, bespectacled, stocky, 34-year-old French Minister of Education Jean Zay last week started up 15,782 foot Mt. Blanc. Early entrants for the stiff mountain climb had included Vice Premier Camille Chautemps and Minister of Public Works Ludovic Oscar Frossard (later resigned) (see above). M. Chautemps, however, wrenched an arm at tennis, dropped out. M. Frossard took a test climb, returned puffing, decided...
...Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI were reported last week to be more irritated with each other than they had been in years. Mme Geneviéve Tabouis, famed French liberal journalist, declared that Mussolini was infuriated because the Pope, in condemning Fascism's new anti-Semitic policies, and in throwing the Church's weight behind Italy's Catholic Action (lay organization), had cried: "Who strikes at the Pope, dies." She asserted that Mussolini was full of Napoleonic ideas of waging open war against the Vatican, that the Pope was fearful, that the Holy See was considering...
...Fascists thought that by muzzling Catholic Action they had washed up ''any conflict or dissension between State and Church"-Mussolini's spokesman Virginio Gayda immediately so declared-they were sadly mistaken. On Sunday the Pope walked alone out of his summer villa at Castel Gandolfo (something he had never done before), delivered a vigorous impromptu address to missionary students summering nearby. Said he: "Beware of exaggerated nationalism as of a real curse. ... It is a real curse of divisions, of strife almost amounting...
...line, pleaded with him to keep the peace, was assured there would be no Japanese-Russian war. Since then Cleveland's Abraham ("Abe") Pickus has been busy telephoning world diplomats, dictators and statesmen in a vigorous one-man campaign to bring about international amity. Although Chamberlain, Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito of Japan and many another bigwig refused to talk, Veteran Pickus once was put through to Spain's Franco, another time to Hitler, whom he promptly bewildered by shouting: "Hello, Hello! Is this A. Hitler? This is A. Pickus of Cleveland, Ohio, U. S. A." Last week Mr. Pickus...
