Italian Wise Man Tells of Atti-
tude Of American People
Toward Plutocracy.

Paris, July 1.-Signor GuglIelmo
Ferrero, the italian historian. who Wis
tied the United States last year. con7
tinues the publication in the Figaro
today OF his comments on the anti
%plutocratic movement In America.
He calls attention again to the lack
of organized resistance on the part of
the rich, which he explains by a gen.
eral recognition on their part that the
movement has been provoked by real
abuses which must be corrected.
Many wealthy people sympathize
with this movement openly, he says,
and some sons Of rich men have
thrown off the endurance OF idealisni
in America, where the basis of every
thing is the theoretical rule OF the
majority.
The infltration of anti pluto
cratic ideas among the masses Is
recognized and the republican
party, although allied TO the inter-
estS of the rich, has realized that
1t could not adopt too hostile an
attitude without provoking re-
volt.
Signor Ferrero Is of the opinion thai
the picture painted by Maxim Gorky
and others, OF the vicious rich Ameri-
can oligrachy cringing before the
masses, Is erroneous, as Is the belief
held in some quarters in Europe that
the masses in America are organizing
a revolution to despoil the wealthy.
Signor Ferrero. In promising the
final installment of his article, explains
the grounds for his conviction that
the feeble defense which the rich
men Of America are making against
this ti-plutocratic movement will not
result In a social catastrophe"

between the two concerns will
not down.

Jon dividend was cut some time ago
