NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

of E;re.Eoter remember talking
to him in the stu
dio of British artist in Rome soon
after Mussolini seized power. He is
a gentle, scholarly man, hesitant in
speech, giving one the impression OF
wide tolerance and understanding.
Quite astonishing was his brass
throated warning to the world, as
II Duce's sounding board. He talks
like Charles Evans Hughes and
writes like General Johnson.
He is accepted in Europe as
merely Mussolini's Charlie McCar-
thy. But he is lot more than just
a ventriloquist's dummy. One OF
the most powerful and brilliant jour-
nalists in Italy, he helped build the
first scaffolding of fascism, and has
been one of it's cleverest rational
izers.
He is at his best in what appears
to be a scholarly condemnation OF
democracy and exaltation of
fascism. But his journalistic alter
ego is an expert dynamiter, and all
II Duce has to do is to stick out his
chin to get a devastating blast
from Signor Gayda's typewriter.
He is forty-two years old, educat-
ed in law at Turin university. Turn

ern correspondent
for Stampa, of Turin. He was in
Russia when the war started, and
was taken into the political and
military service. Later, he was in
the diplomatic service in Sweden
and London.
In 1921, he returned to active
journalism, as editor of the Mes
sagero of Rome and in 1926 became
editor of the Giornale d'Italia. While
he maintained an intimate person
al friendship with Mussolini, it was
II Duce's son-in-law, Count Ciano,
who wired him for sound.
In his craftsmanship, there is to
be traced no official connection with
the government Any expedient re-
traction would involve only Signor
Gayda, with no governmental face
saving necessary.
Just now, he thunders against
England, but with no such rever-
beration as that of the Ethiopian
antiphon of hate. Informed opinion
in Europe is that Italy is turning
more toward England because Eng
land has the credit and raw ma
terials it needs and Hitler hasn't.

Just now, he is back from Puerto
Rico, where he has been studying
the working of lottery laws there.
Previously he has pursued his re-
search in other countries. He has
been active in the national confer
ence to legalize lotteries, of which
Mrs. Oliver Hartman is president.
He is a New York, Jersey City
and Hackensack lawyer, highly gre
garious, a member of the Elks,
the Red Men and many other Or
CARNATIONS. He gets astonishing
support for his idea, among it's pro-
tagonists being professor of cal
culus who has dabbled in sociology.
He is a native of Clinton, Mass.
Incidentally, New England has
been experiencing a gambling wave
the last three or four years, while
all the famous old Nevada hell-holes
are closed up tight. Former chance
players are looking for a sure-thing
and vice-versa. In this general re-
versal of form, the now orthodox
quantum theory makes the whole
universe dice game. Maybe Mr..
Kenney is just a little ahead of his
time.
IN 1904, he was Sol Hurok, selling
