...Crusade, venerable George Lansbury, M.P., who resigned as Leader of the British Labor Party largely because it was not pacifist enough for him, left London this week on another whirlwind European tour, this time of 17 days. Two years ago he talked with President Roosevelt, last year with Dictators Mussolini and Hitler; this time Mr. Lansbury has been promised audiences by Hungarian Regent Admiral Horthy, Bulgarian Tsar Boris, Rumanian King Carol, Yugoslav Regent Prince Paul...
Died. Antonio Ajello, 78, master candlemaker; of a heart attack; in The Bronx, New York. To Mussolini, Pope Pius XI, Lindbergh, Galli-Curci, Marie of Rumania, many another big & little wig have gone sweet-scented Ajello tapers, fashioned from a formula that has been a family secret for 165 years. Most famed Ajello candle, world's largest, is 18 feet high and five feet around, weighs almost a ton, cost $3,700.

With the exception of Rome's Catholic dailies, Italian newspapers had printed...
...Mussolini was only one Socialist who disappointed Angelica in the course of her long revolutionary life, but none of the others-Trotsky, Stalin, Zinoviev. the Russian Revolutionist Georgy Plekhanov, Karl Radek-renounced his beliefs so completely. Nor did Angelica work so closely with the others as with Mussolini in the days when the future dictator was editor of the Italian Socialist Party's central newspaper. Her picture of him- brooding, explosive, egocentric, enigmatic, alternately violent and timid-is the most interesting part of My Life as a Rebel, which is a long (324 pages) record of defeats and betrayals...
