CHILD LOOKS AT EUROPE

In his book ga Diplomat Looks At
Europe" Richard Washburn Child,
former ambassador to Italy, says:
Zone Of the duties of a diplomat is
to keep his government informed of
what is happening, and if possible of
what is going to happen. In April,
1922, sent word to Washington that
I was certain that something would
happen in Italy. l believed that there
would be nothing which could prevent
dictatorship. / said so.
81 had never seen Mussolini when
I wrote to Washington that, because
nothing else could break thru the
mess, dictator would be inevitable.
But having made the prophesy, thot
it my duty to follow it up and find
the man, whoever he might be. 1t
was not until October that a young
Italian who was my friend brought
Mussolini to my residence in the Pal
laZzo Orsini. (At this time, Of course,
Mussolini had not yet become dicta-
tor.)" Up. 1881
When Child met Mussolini the fol-
lowing conversation took place, as
Child describes it:
FINALLY he turned to me and said,
What do you want to know?'
"I want to know what your pro-
gram is
when Mussolini left me that day
there was the beginning of an I'M
Outstanding between u.s."
"Thc next time l saw him, not
many days later, he came into my en-
bassy office and held out his hand and
smiled. Rome had been taken. He
was premier of Italy" Up. 1851
Zone of the duties of an American
ambassador is to observe with an un-
preiuGiced vision, to report facts to
his government, and where possible to
prophesy coming events. My acquain-
tance with Mussolini before he came
into power had enabled me to per-
form these duties with more informa-
ton than was available to many and
perhaps with more than usual obliga-
ton to be coldly impartial" Up. 177)
81 had written home long before
(the coup d'etat-Ed. note) report
of the new organization of the fas-
cisti Forces. There could be no deny
ing that there was preparation for
what is known as direct action in case
other appeals failed" Up. 1S4.)
EARLY in the morning J. P. Nor
gan, who last night dined with us at
the meeting of the Harvard Club,
came in to ask whether it was safe
for him to go with Mrs. Morgan on an
expedition to the ruins of Ostia,
where Sen. Lanciani was planning to
take them. / used this inquiry as an
excuse to make new ones of my own
of the army corps. Then it was dis
closed to us in confidence that the
large squadron of fascist were not
only following the railway lines but
also the sea coast, and were coming
up the valley of the Tiber." lin on a
military maneuvre.--Ed.) Up. 191--

THE HIGHER CRITICISM

Il SEE by The Nation" writes A. B.
Magil, "that the Higher Criticism
has been making great progress
lately. For instance, an article in
the December 7, holiday book number
by Clifton P. Fadiman, one of the
newest and presumably brightest
stars in The Nations critical firma-
ment. Fadiman writes a survey OF
contemporary American fiction and
comes to the conclusion that the
trouble with Joseph Hergesheimer and
James Branch Cabell is that they ars
too sociological Upton Sinclair please
Copy. So that swell house of Herges-
heimer's in West Chester, Pa, that
Sinclair has so painstakingly des-
cribed, with it's ancient furniture,
delicate iqueurs and other simple
necessaries, is really laboratory
where Joseph ponders the social prob
lens of the day.
Exhibit B: Haywood Broun. When
/ read the first two words of Broun's
article fright you are; the words are
Gene TunneyO, l thought this was
going to be another one of those
revolutionary utterances that have
given The Nation such militant tone
since Broun became one of it's star
performers. But l was mistaken. The
article is a counterpolemic against
Upton Sinclair's Money Writes, and
learn for the first time that Sinclair
was all wrong about James Branch
Cabell. Cabell is a revolutionist Of
the purest sort. The syllogism is
simple: Cabell is bored with the
world. He runs away to world Of
his own. Ergo, he is a revolutionisk
AS matter Of fact says Broun.
anybody who writes poetry or paints
picture or sings a song is a rebel:
Well, we'll!
Exhibit c.: The prize contribution
to the Higher Criticism is made by
Alter Brody in his review of Floyd
Delps An Unmarried Father. A
novelist who knows anything about
biology, psychology and sociology -
bors under a tremendous handicap,
says Brody. An artist must not p\-
nit himself to know too much. If IN
is ignorant--so much the better. If
he is unfortunate enough to have be-
come infected with knowledge, he
must hide it as best he can. At all
costs he must remain superficialf
And the trouble with Dell, says
Brody, is that he isn't superficial
enough. This is the same Alter Brody
who about ten years ago published Q
volume of verse, Family Album, that
is full Of the pathos-social as well
as personal--of the Jewish East Side
But judging from his own definitions,
Brody has now all the qualifications
for great novelist.

CHAMBERLAIN FLYING LONDON TOMORROW;
 TAKING NEW PILOT
LEVINE AND CHAMBERLlN SPLIT ACCORDING TO REPORT FROM
 FRIENDS

PARIS, July z. (P)-Clarence Cham berlin will fly the monoplane Columbia to London tomorrow with an unnamed French pilot who will attempt a re turn flight across the Atlantic with Levine He will show the new pilot the controls and everything he needs to know about the peculiarities of the plane as we'll as give him the full benefit of the experience gained on the flight to Paris. He wall leave the plane in London and it will be re- turned to France by a French pilot while Chamberlin will sail from South ampton Tuesday on the Leviathhan. It is believed the pilot who will take the Columbia back to America will be either Georges Pelletier of Doisy to Tokio fame or Lieutenant Paul Tras- con, who originally planned the trip across with the ill-fated Captain Coli
 Chamberlin declined to comment on rumors that there had been break between himself and Levine. 'I would be perfectly willing to take the plane home, but I long ago made en- agreements that make it impossible" ]" said Chamberlin.
 Friends hinted that all is not too smooth between the two men and inti- mated that Chamberlin felt that Le- vine without sufficient experience in aviation had undertaken too much in the direction of the flight especially in the round of visits of European cities.

GENEVA, July '. (P)-Suddenly in tervening in the Anglo-American diff ficulty over cruiser tonnage Japan in- formally supported the American con- tention for limitation and insisted that the worlds interest would be best served by adhering to the original minimum figures or 25O,O0O tons. The unexpected declaration shook even British self-control. After a moment the British Lord of the Admiralty de- clared: These figures are impossi- bie as a basis of discussion.' The announcement may mean increasing the chances of failure as the British are doggedly determined to maintain a powerful cruiser fleet.

ALLIANCE WITH GREAT BRITAIN SIMILAR TO POLICY WITH

GENEVA, July z. (P)-In what is regarded as a vital step, threatening the life of the Geneva Arms Confer -ence, the Japanese delegates received from their home office permission to take a stand in support of Great Britain demands for the discussion of reduction in size of Capital ships.
 The United States has been oppos- ed to such, few claiming that Wash ington agreement completely rids this class of ships from the disarma- ment discussion.
 It is understood that the Japanese alliance with Great Britain, in this instance, is not alone limited to the Geneva Arms Conference, but will include similar policies in China and Russia Great Britain, in return, will support Japan's claims for parino of cruisers strength with the United States, while England maintains pro- penderous of light cruisers as at present.
 When apprised of the Japanese decision, members of the American delegation expressed surprise They said that while the United States would listen to any proposal, the American delegates were determined to stand pat on the Washington treaty terms of which clearly elimi- mated any further discussion on cap- ital ships until 1881

MUTUAL DISCOVERY

 JOHANSEN, bALLA|NE
POPULAR SKIPPER OF STEAMER STARR PREDICTS PORT OF
 SEWARD LARGEST ALASKA

Capt O. A. Johansen, master of the steamer Starr, which runs from Sew ard to the Westward, was today dis cussing old times in Southern Alaska with John E. Ballaine, founder of Sew ard, originator and builder of the Alas ka Central and daddy of the Alaska government Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks over the Alaska Central survey, when they made discovery that was more than mutually interest ing
 Their discovery was that they both had a hand in laying the first founda- tions of Seward and the Alaska Gen. tral in 1902. MT. Ballaine had organ ized the company in April of that year, and in June following, as general manager of the Alaska Central, he sent the railroads first survey party to Resurrection Bay in charge of John G. Scurry. The survey party came from Seattle on the old Alaska Commercial tseamer Bertha, and Cap tain Johansen was master of the Der tha on that trip. He brought the Bertha into Resurrection Bay, then un- der special arrangements with MT. Ballaine at Seattle, for this was not a port of call in those days. Only the Lowell family lived here in that pio- neer time.
 T must say that the starting of a railroad from this place looked wis ionary to me and everybody else in Alaska at that time," said Captain Jo- hansen to The Gateway, especially
