What AreYou RiskingFor Easy Street?

He had married a charming wife, and had two very attractive children .Several times she had ventured to ask him what would become of themif anything should "happen" to him-

"Don't worry," he would always say, "itinvestments all the time. In ten moreStreet ."

But one day his splendid plans all fell in ruins, for the only plans hehad made were dependent for success upon his personal activity . And-that dreadful thing he had spoken of so lightly had happened .

Wiser by far to have protected those plans by the "Family Income,Plan" of the Massachusetts Mutual . In addition to financing thefamily after earning power is destroyed by death, the insured is fi-nanced during any total and permanent disability .

Also, a depreciation fund is set up, maturing as a lifetimeadvancing years cut down a man's earning power .

worked out in the sewing classes . Meth-ods of making the island's typical andexquisite drawnwork and pillow lacehave been scientifically simplified, andnew patterns designed with native leaf,vine, and flower as motif. Bulletins em-bodying these and other features of thework of the department have been widelyuseful not only in Porto Rico, but havecircled the tropic zone of the world, sentin answer to requests from a dozen coun-tries.Perhaps the most striking example of

the university's response to its environ-ments, however, is presented by its de-partment of Spanish studies. The recog-nition already accorded the young im-poverished university, without friends apriori, and without the wealthy and in-fluential alumni whose tangible benefitsoften make life possible to our modernuniversities ; a school far from other edu-cational centers, and struggling with thedifficulties no less inherent than the ad-vantages in its bi-lingual environment, isnothing short of amazing. Newspapersin a dozen countries-such periodicals asThe New York Times, The New YorkWorld, The New York Herald-Tribune,La Prensa and La Nacion of BuenosAires, El Diario de la Marina de Havana,and El Sol of Madrid, as well as leadingpapers in Colombia, Venezuela, Panama,Nicaragua and Brazil-have during thepast two years commented editorially, at

length and with marked appreciation,upon the importance, from the standpointof international understanding, of thework being done by the University ofPorto Rico, working resolutely withoutbecoming disheartened by its materiallack . Don Ramon Menendez Pidal,president of the Royal Spanish Academyhas commended its work and its program.Publicists and scholars in the two Ameri-cas, in Spain, in England, have expressedtheir interest in what the University ofPorto Rico has already accomplished andtheir recognition of its importance as in-tellectual liaison officer between the twocultures which divide the western hemi-sphere, the Hispanic and the English.Geography, as we have seen, and history,as we can but remember, have givenPorto Rico a unique strategic position .Four hundred years ago the Conquis-tadors recognized and set down in terseCastilian the military importance of theisland ; and, as the great Spanish daily,El Sol, remarked last year in an editorialon the university, the strategic advantageculturally is no less great for an institu-tion whose predestined purpose wouldseem to be that of interpreter and mutalfriend of the twi Americas .

accept the legitimacy of criticism wouldadmit the political fallibility and imper-fection of the government .' The Fascistsare, much like the Pope, infallible . Hul-linger records for us the argument of aleading Fascist in support of the theory.He argued that a school teacher-and theFascists are the teachers of Italy-couldscarcely hope for success if some one stoodin the rear of the room and informed thestudent that the instructor knew nothingabout that of which he spoke. 8 Hecklingis a lost art in Italy.The duty of Parliament is to aid the

government . There is no such thing asresponsible government in Italy. A quickdecision is necessary to political progress .The flood of futile talk in the ItalianChamber of Deputies from 1919 to 1922was, to Mussolini, proof of the impotenceof the government . The latter was with-out a mandate, for it had no way of dis-covering the real policy of the House,if indeed it had one. This impasse gaveto the people an opportunity, as well asan example, for sloth and laziness .But hold! says Nitti.' "Democracy de-

mands that all viewpoints be heard.""Democracy be damned," answers Mus-solini and his Fascists . "It is the ghostof the XIX Century." Democracy hascurrency only in a population with littlegods . It has no impelling, inspirationalvalue. Chuck it! It has never existed,

and never will . (Therein shows the in-fluence of Pareto, one of his chief men-tors, who taught at the University ofLausanne when Mussolini was on "histravels.")" What a travesty to assumethat all adult males are capable of intel-ligent participation in government! Andas for woman suffrage, it would only addmore weaklings to the electorate . Womancaused man's fall from heaven . She mustnow make him forget it. Her properplace is in the home . Her noblest workis procreation, the production of the su-perman, who shall dignify Italy byworthy prowess . The only true functionof the electorate in government is to ap-prove the governmental policy ; and thenew reform of 1928 emphasizes thatpoint. The guilds suggest men for theChamber of Deputies, the Fascist GrandCouncil selects them, and the electorateapproves the list submitted in the election .There is but one list, so there is no al-ternative to approval except non-voting."

Such is something of the nature ofFascist philosophy . It defies and repudi-ates democracy and the idea of liberty.It marks a pragmatic revolt in politics,one that threatens to set a new value inpolitical science . It is Machtpolitik to as-sume that Fascism has crushed democ-racy in Italy is, I believe, erroneous, fordemocracy, as France and the Anglo-Saxon nations understand it, has neverexisted in unified Italy. Giolitti was al-most as much of a dictator as Mussolini,and all governments have exerted them-selves, sometimes unduly, to remain inpower.
