contract TO exhibit Signor Biondfs "Saturualia-"
but had afteTward refused to do The Italian
government could not interfere. but Signor Bondi
had asked advice Of the Consulate General in New

Deputy Cerrt said that it was absurd TO consider
the -SaturnaIia" immoral Americans came pur-
posely TO Italy 10 admire nude figures in the mu-
