France did not create Latinism. And rather, I say to you, insist, persist!<br />

You are American citizens. The America of the Fathers of the Republic<br />

worshipped Latin wisdom. That America of the— —ones has almost<br />

disappeared, forgetting the Latin wisdom. That Latinism is preserved in<br />

Italy; it manifests itself anew.<br />

I divide this short address into different parts. I say that the Americans<br />

around you ignore the Italian tradition. You ought to educate them, and<br />

first of all you ought to educate yourselves.<br />

I say that in observing the Americans you will note that they are<br />

anarchic, profoundly anarchic, not organized, do not apply their own<br />

that the monopoly of gold and the fiction of money based on gold is an<br />

infamy an instrument used to fool the people, to strangulate all the<br />

peoples. I say that this idea has had in the past, it has had great publicity<br />

in America. But the American is slow. He has not placed high the<br />

wisdom of his best men. And the same thing with electrical experiments.<br />

You probably do not know that in 1863, a certain Loomis succeeded in<br />

sending wireless electric signals, he invented wireless telegraphy. But<br />

the Americans did nothing about it. He was considered a madman, a
