vision play in the amazingly strong and
beautiful church-the first Gothic church
in Italy.
Entering the beautiful Gothic portals
of the dimly lit lower church all thoughts
Of the world seem to be cast behind and
one is lost in that other-world atmo-
sphere Of divine mysticism. The interior
Of the church. built in Romanesque-
Gothic style, consists of one nave and is
in the form Of a Latin cross. In the
transept are to be seen, besides three
marble tombs Of the Cerchi, Nepis and
Eubea families, a fresco by Ceccolo di
Giovanni representing the Madonna del~
la Salute seated on a throne and sur
rounded by st. Anthony, st. Francis and
st. Rufino; the polygonal Cappella di
SAINT Antonio Abate with the tombs of
Blasco. Duke Of Spoleto, and his son
Garcia; and the Cappella del Crocifsso
or Santa Caterina, also polygonal in
shape, and built by Matteo Gattapone of
Gubbio for Cardinal Egidio Albornoz,
who was afterward buried there. Chapel
walls are decorated with frescoes repre-
senting episodes of the life of ST. Cath
crime.
The upper church is flooded with light,
with an indescribable atmosphere of
freshness and great serenity. This
church, which also is in the form of
Latin cross, was built on the walls Of the
lower church, and among the numerous
works Of art, especially noteworthy 10

technique. In the case of wheat, the
Government is letting this countrys tax
payers pay for wheat that then is given
to foreigners at nominal cost. The
taxpayers appear not to object and the
Europeans find that the gift wheat is
fine
Many Congressman now are deeply in
terested in extending this idea to all
crops.
In other words, instead of finding ways
to provide more and better clothing and
more and better food for American
children and adults, the idea is to give
away American farm products at nomi-
nal figures so that Chinese and English
and French and Mexican children and
adults can have more and better food
and clothing.
There are fewer complications that
way. Just as with loans that can't be
paid back, so with virtual gifts of farm
products, way is found to get rid of
part of the troublesome surplus of work.
ers and raw materials and foodstuffs.
In that way the American people can
avoid looking at the internal problems
that rise to force rather painful adjust
ments
The catch is, however, loans and gifts,
whether made at home or abroad, even
tually have to be paid for by somebody
When time for payment comes and
there is default, all the old problems
come back again to roost until people
once more forget about the earlier ex-
perience, so that more foreign loans and
gifts can be made.
