Rattling Back
ONCE upon a time, when a
man could travel no further than his feet or the back of some animal could take him, and when his voice could reach no farther than his lungs could send it, there were isolated communi- -ties.
They were scaled against knowledge or ideas from the outside work. They had gro- tesque ideas of what the rest of munkind was doing. They were ignorant.
But they were isoluted not by choice. They were isolated be- cause the technical means of communication did not exist.
Now a man CRU throw his voice around the world in a few seconds, and travel around it in a few days.

SYCHOLOGY has
made us familiar with the inferiority com- plex. It is a state of mind which can arise from various causes but always produces the same symptoms.
Inferiority complex is not confined to individuals. It is often found in nations. Its présence can be easily detected. Threats, mbre rattling, and self-admiration are the symp-
toms.
A writer who "exteriorises" this neurosis is not only a boon to his own countrymen, he is also invalu- able as a sound-board abroad. In h's own country he helps the public to get off their chests feelings which would otherwise be danger- only
repressed.
For foreign observera he is a re- Yelation of the mentality of i nation.
In Europe to-day there is one country which more than any other suffers from inferiority com- ntex, That country is Italy; and the n who gives it awny 19 Vir- sinio Ciayda, the notorious editor of the " Glornale d'Italia."
living PROBABLY no journalist is so widely quoted. Qayda's daily article la the daily bread of the fotelan correspondents in Rome. Hardly a day passes without large chunks of it being reproduced in the democratic Press abread.

Gayda is usually described as Mussolini's mouthpiece, This is Inaccurate. It is not true that he sees the Duce daily or that he is even the principal organ of Fas- clst policy.
Mussolini has his own paper, the "Popolo d'Italia," which is a family business and in which he takes the closest interest. I have been told that he is rung up dally

Gayda's cource, like that of his more eminent colleagues. is the Italian Foreign Ministry in Rome.
Here, in the Palazzo Chigi, he is received daily, either by Count Clano or by one of the Foreign Minister's Inmediate collaborators, As Editor of one of the leading Italian newspapers, Gayda natur- ally has a privileged position. Even so, it is not by virtue of official Inspiration, but the use he makes of it, that he has achieved his present prominence.
But if Gaydn la not the mouth- piece of Mussolini he is the voice of the Italian people. Perhaps megaphone is a better word.

The secret of Gayda'a success la that he speaks for the long-der- mant but now very much awake Italian aggressiveness of the nation. His outlook is typical of the public with whose support Fascism has climbed to power.
When Gayda declares that Italy lu ready to march against France, he is not so much betraying an official secret as flattering the vanity of all his readers who like to think that man for man they are as good as, if not better than, the French.

The mobilisation decree brings Germany still a little nearer to complete military preparedness and must inevitably increase uncasiness as to the Fuehrer's Intentions. Training, it is stated, is designed to "preserve the spiritual and physical entr gies" of the male population, but It will include military activities and is obviously designed to broaden the basis of Germany's striking power.
