In the $50 days he had written
i've books, swelling his vast collec-
ton Of books on biography, politics,
economics, literary criticism, histo-
~ and what not to probably well
over 100. I talked to him once in
the Cafe des Lilas, a fragile. deaf,
bearded old man with a contentious,
blazing mind which makes one think
Of sizzling battery running an au-

In 1923. he was in Jail for four

Fascism from Maurras-and the

In 1925. M. Maurras was SEN
fenced to two years in prison, the

terror. Among the causes Of his
Incarceration in October, 1886, was
conspiracy evidence in the assault
on Premier Leon Blum. in which he

doctrine all over the world. His
hatred Of democracy is savage and
vitriolic. He is witty, learned. bril-
liant and he has the most excoriat-
ing and corrosive vocabulary In
France.
