Failure for the Fascist

The Cunard liner Mauretania set a
! new record yesterday by clipping two
horrs from her previous speed record
between the Cherbourg breakwater and
the Ambrose Channel Lightship. Her
new time was days hours and s3
minutes, msking an average speed of
s41i knots, while her previous run was
days hours and 90 minutes.
The Mauretania was laid up for six
weeks prior Co her trip here, during
rhich time defective turbine was
repaired. With her arrival yesterday
II was the second time in three months
that she established record between
Cherbourg and this port. She still
holds the distinction of having made
the fastest trans Atlantic crossing from
Queenstown TO the iightship in 4 days
10 hours and Al minutes, maintaining
ss06 knots.
Prominent among the passengers on
the incoming liner were Mr.. and Mrs.
Vincent Astor, who will spend the win
Ter here at their Fifth Avenue home.
Ar Astor went abroad only a few
weeks ago TO join his wife at her Paris
residence and then the couple went to
England to visit his mother, Lady Rib
biesdaic, and his sister, Alice Muriel
Astor. Mr.. Astor denied current re-
ports that his mother and sister were
coming here this year. He added that
he did not now intend to take trip
to the West Indies in his yacht this
winter, as he had contemplated, but
that he may 60 in the spring.
Marks Grandson Arrives
Jean Longuet, grandson Of Karl
Marx, founder of modern socialism,
who was refused wise to his passport
by the State Department two years ago,
also arrived on the liner to give
series of lectures in this country on
the conditions in France and England
which would be at variance with the
reports heretofore brought here and
which he characterized as bureau
cratic" When he appeared for his wise
this time M. Longuet said that the
American vice-consul in Paris ex-
planned that It was refused the last
time because the authorities misunder-
stood his political ideas.
NJ. Longuet termed the Fascist move
ment in italy as bandit movement"
and asserted that they had adopted
some Of the tactics of the Communists
by terrorizing the population, He be-
lieves that the Fascist are backed by
Italian capitalists and that their ten
ure cannot endure any great length of
time, declaring that they would de-
stroy rather than build up the Italian
government.
In reference to his own country, NJ
Longuet said that the Communists of
France were hopelessly split, but that
the next election would put greater
number Of Socialists in the Chamber of
Deputies. The Communist party, if
represented at all, would consist only
Of small 1ninority-the extreme radi-
Gals.
After pleasure trip of several
weeks in Europe James A. Farrell,
president of the United States Steel
Cooperation, returned on the liner with
Mrs. Farrell and their two daughters,
Catherine and Rosamund. After de-
barking they motored to their home in
South Norwalk, Conn.
Back With Silk Exhibit Plans
Another passenger was Edward M. C.
Tower, chairman of the executive COM
Eittee Of the Second International
Silk Exposition, which is to be held
here this winter. Mr.. Tower, accom-
panied by Mrs. Tower, had been to
France and Switzerland to induce
elnaHuIacturerS tnefe TO participate in
the exposition. He said they received
him enthusiastically, and he predicted
that the number of foreign exhibitors
would be greater than the representa-
ton last year.
Professor Arthur de Ferraris, por-
trait painter, arrived with his wife and
daughter and brought with him por-
