SEARCHING FOR BIG SUM OF SILVER.

DISHONEST SHIP'S COOK.

KEYSTONE VIEN CA, NEW VINY

[By Viscount Rothermere.] For English people without per-

aggeration on both sides. This dis- advantage has been greatly remedi- ed by a book which has recently appeared by. Mr. James Strachey Barnes, under the title, "The Uni versal Aspects of Fascism." It is l'a very successful effort to provide an impartial investigation of Fas- cism, carried out from the standpoint of the political philoso pher.

As such this book has real valuc, for the bitterest of Mussolinis critics are those who base thoir condemnation upon abstract con- siderations of political principle stone.

To these theorists Mr. Barnes replies that Fascism- must be re- garded as a special means of deal- ing with a special set of circum- · stances. He does not recoll from describing it as a revolution, but he argues that the benefits which it has brought have been cheaply won at the cost of the casualties which it inflicted. Many of the strongest adversarles of Fascism regard the French Revolution as a great emancipating movement of enormous benefit to mankind.
