WhilePapini,. r,vhose bitteiness, acidity,skepticism (due to the peculiarcircumstances of his childhood andyouth) drove him to an almost continuousspiritual regurgitation ofall he touched, u-hose intellectualiustability led him ro the greatestexcesses in judgments of men andmovements (6), had sooner orlater to seek a haven of refuge forhis tormented spirit ancl foind itquite appropriately in thc CatholicChurch, thougir even there he doesnot _sc.em to enjoy peace ttfmrnd.

Tlte Tariff in theNCE again the tariff, duringthe presidential campaignof 1932 from whichr-e have just emerged. was onc: ihe dominant tssues. As in-l't12. rvhen the Republican cam-:,aigners pleaded their ,:ause for aiigh protective tariff, and the op-:osing side led by Woodrow Wi1-. -,n ca11ed f or its repudiation as::njust, uneconomical antl uncr-,nsti-:utiona1, so have the party leaders,f the present day argued.The beginning of the campaign:,,u1d 6on.rnor Franklin D. Rooser-eltinvading the West, whereihe Democratic nominee denouncedthe Republican program on:he tari{f as a series of costlyblunders and said in part, "nosubstantial proqress toward re-.orery {rom the depression, eitherhere or abroad, can be rnade withr,ut{orthright recognition of theseerrors."In reply, the Republican nomineepointed out to the people thatthe tariff as advocated by hisDarty provided a bulwark againstioreign competition, u'hich woulcldrive domestic prices to still lowerlevels, if not protected against,and swell the ranks of the unemployedby several miliions. Witha vigor and emphasis that was unlookedfor, President Hoover proclaimedthat at this time, morethan any other in the past, a highprotective tariff was extremely essentialfor the welfare o{ the Americanpeople.The Hawley-Smoot act oi 1930present tariff law-had its-our origin in a pledge made duringthe presidential campaign of 7928.At that tin-re the Repubiican Part.,'Another Flexible FeatureB7 Matthez-a A. Melcbiorrepromised additional protection forfarm products and also for certainindustries which {ound it difficultto compete r,vith foreign producers.The President-elect recommendedthat some "limited revisions"be made in existing duties,although he saw no need for ageneral revision. However hisplans for "limited revisions" werediscarded by Congress. Log-rollingwas soon in evidence all a-round. with votes being tradedright and left. When a bill wasfinally adopted it had increasedrates in 890 cases and lorveredthem in 235.' The most importantof these changes came in the agriculturalschedule:BECAUSE_thetle Was|)ingron,,Dai\ Nent,'-FronRcccnt Campaignbill adopted wasmore in the natrrre oI a generatrevision than of a lirr'ited one,many economists, exporters andconsumers' or ganizattons strongly"Well, I don't seem to be'the Forgotten Man."'Frcn tie Net Orleans,,Tinet Pirawne'57urged President Hoover to vetoit. It was pointed out to him thata further increase in protectionduties, woulcl bring r,vith it morepronounced business reversals, reversalswhich had already shorvedtheir signs rvith the stock marketcrash about eight months previous.The President disregardedthese urgings tand signed the billon June 17,1930. When Mr. Hooveraffixed his signature to, it, head,led that it was important toend "the uncertainties in the br-rsinessworld which have been addedto by the long-extended debate"and tbat "with returningnormai conditions ollr {oreigntrade lvi1l continue to expand."Republican leaders l-railed the actand predicted that it would endtne srvelling period of depression,r'vhile Senator Watson r,vent so faras to say that : "the nation r'vi11 beon the up grade, financia1ly, economically,and comrnercially, r,vithin-thirty days, and in a year wesha1l have regained the peak ofprosperity and tlre position welost last October." Bear in mindthat this statement rvas issuedcluring ttre rnonth of June 193t-t.\\'e are norv in November 1932.No further comment is needed.During this period business activityfras repeatedly gone to newlows. At the time the bill wasmade into a law our exports werevalued at 294 millions of dollars.In June c'f this year they hads1-rriveled to 115 millions. Wasthe Hawley-Snioot act of 1930n'ho1ly or in part responsiltle forthis shrinkage ? The question haslreen ansr,r'ered by both parties(clifferentll', of corrrse) during the

L-'iLo*broso s C" ntrrLutionsto Cti rratrtologyBy Peter SammartinoILELLA was a {amous brigandof his time, who, inspite of his .seventy-six years,used to run rrp the mountains likc'a goat. It was while performingan operation on this brisand thatCesare Lornbroso first began toform the theory which has sincekept medical men and psychologistsin constant disprr.te. He openeclVilella's brain and found an occipitn-rediandepression. In the humanbrain, there is normally a longcrest, the occipital median crestrvhich separates the two hemispheres.Here, instead of a crest,was a depression. Was there anyphysical difference between the socallednormal human being and thedelinquent? Was there any differencebetween the criminal ancl themental defective ?Soon afterward, the interestin5;case of Verzeni occurred. A peiisantboy of twenty, Verzeni w:,-saccused of having strangled todeath ten women. After he rvascondemned to priqon for life, 1rt:boldly aclmitted that he had killedmany more than ten. He strangli'xlthem rvith his hands, sucked theirblood and bit ther flesh. As amatter oi fact, he used to hide hirvictims in a shed and go to bitcthem u,hen opportr,inity of f ered.Lombroso's theory was beginningto take shape. But, 1et us go backa littie and review the life of thisgreat man and the forces whichied gradually to his beiiefs.Cesare Lombroso rvas born irtthe historic town of Verona, in1835. His soul, his personality, hischaracter seemed to combine thedeep cultural elements of his Jewishbackground with the rvarmth,the generosity and the patriotismwhicn abouncL in the l"iedmontesrslopes. His life was rich in emotions,now sad, now S;rL butle.atrvely placid as far as externalevents were concerned. He caredThe subject of crime and itscauses, whether due to individualmaladjustment, heredity or environment,is one that is alway,s timely.Especially is it of interest todaybecause of the prominent place ithas assumed in American civilizatlon.Many of our modern theories con,cerning the treatment of the criminalgo back to the eminent ItalianCesare Lombroso, who conductedpioneer researches in the subjectupon which followers could buildnotfor travel, for adventure or forchange. Always in easy circumstances,he never acquired any desireto grorv very rich or to achievepublic honors.of age he married{T- thirty 11a1s a girl ol his orrn race and position.She loved him rn'ith that intensityof af{ection r,vhich the Ital-Cesar.e Lombroso60ian woman knows how to give.She freecl him from ali the practicalnecessities of life. Five childrenwere the result of their union.Let us examine the milieu inwhich Lombroso found himself.For four hundred years Italy ha..istruggled under foreign rule. Nowthe cries of liberty and unitv wereIreing heard. It was inevitable thatLombroso's lif e lvould be greatil'affected by the vivid changes goingon around him.In his early youth, he had beeninterested in Roman history. Atfifteen, he had alreacly puilirhe,l"The Importance of the Study ofthe Roman Republic" and "Agriculturein Ancient Rome". At theage of nineteen he decided to, studymedicine, not with the idea of becominga doctor, but because histutors had told him that onlvthrough a stucly of the humairbody can one hope to understandsocial changes. This is important.We can understand why, later, hefound so much pleasure in studyingthe mental aspects of the hurnanmechanism.He became mo,re and more interestedin his rnedical studies and,in 1859, he began to stucly a diseasewhich is most disastrous tosociety as weli as to the individual :cretinisn-r. This f orrrr of idiocy,which is practically always accompaniedby physical deforrnity, wasrampant in the Alpine districts ofItaly. In a period when the term"endocrinoiogl." had not even beencoined, he discovered that cretinismwas caused by an atonism of thethyroid gland. He found that thisatorrisrn was due to impure waierand lack of sun.At about this time, war was go.ing on between Piedmont and Austria.Lombroso joined the armyas a physician. His active mindimmediately began to solve manyof the s,urgical problems that came

So many::-.,,'ries which bordered on the-::ernatural rather than on scien-:::c facts ! So rnuch subjective:-Jnsense and so many vague be---..s ! Lombroso cast them all out.-.e reaiized that to study the rn-:.ifle, oil€ must also study the crim-::=i. In other words, a parailel,:','stematic study of both must be.--ade. What 'may be considerecl:::e first sketch of the criminal manappeared rncler the title "LegalI4edicine and the Mental AlienationStudied Accorcling to the ExperimentalMethod." In 1866 appearedthe "Diagnosis of PsychicalAbnormalities Accorcirng to the ExperimentalMethod." These workswere milestones in the fie1d ofcriminal anthropology. Alread_v,Lombroso r'vas beginning to discenrmany clifferences between the saneaucl insane. Br:t how to differentiateb,eti,veen, the criminal and theGina Lombroso, daughter of the lta!-ian criminologist, presenting a copy ofher latest book to the authorinsane? That problem r-as still verymuch in darkness.AT this time, carne the already' ' related episocles of Vileila an i\rerzeni. Lomb'roso r,vas graduallybeginning to think of the delinquentas a survival, of the primitive manancl even of tl-re primilive man'spredecessor. lIe u'as beginning todiscern the reason for the prominentcheekbones, the heai,y jaw;all the points of contact betweenthe criminal, the savage, the lunaticand the prehistoric man. lIe seemerlto be on the right tlack. Hcdelved deeper and deeper into theproblem. Skulls and skeletonsrvere taken down from dusty museutrrsheives, measurecl and er.-amined. Friends, colleagues, patients,disciples, ail were broug-htinto the problem. In 1866 he wasstiii struggling to bring order outof chaos. In the meantime, sincehe was finding so many points incommon between the criminal andthe insane, the old theories of penailaw were placed in an uncomfortabledilemma. If the criminal wasa form of the insane, then eitherthe courts had to lree irresponsiblemadmen or else keep in prisonthese mentally deficient ones u.hoshould be iegally free.The question was a delicate one.Lombroso saw the fallacies of theold legal code. He also saw theclangers of letting loose a horde ofmentally unbalanced pelsons. Hesought a practical conciliation ofthe two factors. He conceived theidea of transforming prisons intoasylums for born crin-rinals; intofarm colonies for mentaliy defectivesand epileptics and into homesof re-eclr-rcation for the young. Betweenthe criminal and the insanethere r'vas no di{ierence as to, quality,but only as to clegree. Final11',in 1876, appeared the "ExperimentalTreatise on the CriminalI'Ian". The book hacl ar-r enorntollssuccess anrl drer,v the praise ofevery one, from the nan in thestreet to the outstanclin,g philosophersof the c1ay. Lombroso wenton rn'orking. He sub-divided thecriminal in general under the headingsof criminal thror-rgh passion,the half-n-rad, the alcoholic, themorally insane. In general, histheory remained intact.one day, he was asked toTHENexamine the case of a soldier,r,vho, during the night, hacl kille11ten or tlvelve of his companions,carefully refraining from killingany from his orvn province. Whenhe was arrested, he slept for twodays lvithout awaking and wherl hedid ar,vake, had only tlLe slightestidea of the crimes he had conimittecl.In spite of the belief ofeverybody that the soldicr was anexample of the r,vorst i

Boolrs In ReuiewIULIUS CAESAR. By John Buchan. 158pa:ges. New York: D. Appleton & Co.$2.00The unvexed shade of the great Juliussuf f ers little at Mr. Buchan'shands. 'Ihrough 149 pages, the penof Caesar's latest biographer traces, orrather races, the years of Caesar's politicallife from his birth to his lastmagnificent gesture on the stage ofhistory, *'ithout so much as rufflingtlrc durlr laurels on the bald sculpturedhead. Mr. Buchan is much takenr,vitL the bust of Caesar in the BritishX,{useum which, "the noblest presentmentof the human countenance known torrre, tells rrs rriuch, but not all. Thebload, fuil brow and the sinewy neckwe take for granted, but what of theslrange contraction of the jaws, andthe fine, almost feminine, moulding ofthe lips and chin? Caesar is the onlyFj1'eat nlan of action, save Nelson, whohas it his face something of a woman'sdelicacy. The features concealnrore than they reveal. As in their,:ur of death at the base of Pompey'sstatue, he has muffled his face. Itmay be permitted to attempt oncec1oak,"Brt Caesar conceals himself behindthe cloak, on the .whole, successfully,and it cannot be said that Mr. Buchalr'sfingers have been deft to diseniangieit from the mighty clasp ofCr!(:'sar's hand. Thus it is with a somer,.'hatstolid Caesar, lvhose conventionalfeatures betray no trace ofcolor, whose hcart is empty, and pulsesstilled, that this work concerns itself.Yet this remote and stony figurcundeniably beggars the slender vo1-{.rme.NIr. Buchan's aim seems to be topresent not the soldier, but the statesman,and for this purpose he has madesome attempt to refurbish the ancientissues into sonn: semblance of modernity.But the "cesspool of Romulus"in those turbulent times is best understoodin its otvn terms. The conflictbetrveen Populares ancl Optirnates,radicals and constitutionalists, themilitary and the Ser-rate, is betterstated as sui generi.s than as a functionof any existing world order. Itn'as a tirne of expansion on a rn*orldrviclescale, t1-re beginning of stupendousexperiment, whictr history hashardly drvarfecl, and the feelingthroughout I{r. Buchan's exposition israther prerlatrrrely pessimistic. Therealist in history will not arrir.e at aclearcr understanding of the course ofthe ernpire of Rome, by dating its faltfrom its inception. The empire forrvhich Caesar iaid the foundations wasbased upon the needs of an ambitiousand conquering people whose ends heserved and to whose genius rvas sacrificedhis orvn. He rvas a great soldier,a gentleman, and a notable administrator,but it is as a tragic figurethat he makes his strongest appeal,and as such, some insight into hischaracter and his mystery is worth arvorld of detail. From this point ofr.ier,v, \[r. Buchan's book is nothing atall to the purpose. Written in a somervhatbrittle style, rvith a clarity thatseldorn blossoms into vividness, andtire rnore fclicitous passages renriniscentof the style of G. \,f.

In realitl', however,literarl' taste is not fundamentallychanged even though the novelis undergoing a crisis (as so manl'c;ther elements of our civilization),llying beyond all limits on the rvingsof a psycho-analysis that has forceclit to take the form of a mere gymn:rsticexercise of the mind, removingit further and further front the trueancl spontaneous forms of art.For the noment we haI'e turnedour attention to biography, rvhich isltot altogethcr a successful substitute.In these tin-re$ of troubles and expiationsthe delightful biographer of GabrieleD'Annunzio, F.

One feels, in reading thebiography, that one must always keeppresent the idea that Ludwig is democraticin point of view and, therefore,cannot understand many ofMussolini's viewpoints. There seemsto be a tendency in the biographer togive relief especially to those ideaswhich are the antitheses of his ownand in the exaggerated light theYprovoke a subtle attitude of irony onthe part of the reader.However, the book has the appearanceof an objective and penetratingexpositiqn of all the renowned doctrinesof Fascisrr as embodied in itsleader.'I-he nation in the Mussolinian conceptionis a spiritual and moral realitycapable of disciplining the peopleand arranging them in hierarchies*-orking for a single purpose, and insuch a hierarchy patriotism become-sa natural sentim-ent by m,eans of sacrifice.Imperialism is not a material aspirationbut a natural expression of vitaiityin man without rn'hich Nietzsche'stheory of the will to powern-culd have no meaning.Ilussolini, having obtained fu1l polircalpower, is weli on the way, accordingto Ludlvig, to oltaining amoral hold on the Itahan people.iios- iong such a .ho1d will last insie'n- of its dependence on strength:: unPredictable'Arttn TarantotrTICA DI GOETIIE.

Board,. 35c.As the title indicates, the purposeof the author is to grve an accountof the ltalian activities on all sidesof the front, having in mind a popularizationof the facts so that evenchildlen could read and understandthem. He begins quite pornpouslywith a rather brief exordium whichsrnacks of the Renatssance methodsof introducing the action of a story.We have in mind the "Furioso" inp:rrticular. The author then proceedsto conclude this introductro'n with aline which has only the renotest Dantesquenessin it: "The way, however,is very long and arduous. Have courageand follow me." So we followhinr patiently through a tr'aze of mi1-itaristic terrns and statistics. Muchof the story is uninteresting; but thisis due, no'doubt, to the statistics. Onthe other hand, there is more thanone passage which almost reaches 1iterary,and, we might say, lyricalheights.There is a great deal of partial feelingthroughout which, if less insistent,would add much to the general palatablenessof the book. Of course whathas just been said is due to the factthat the author wishes above all ioteach the desirability of nationalisrnand rabid patriotism to the youngergeneration. In fact, there is a chapteron patriotisnr which tries veryhard to be philosophical. Sentimentis very evident from the first to thelast.

To most of us the name of FraDiavolo. imrnediately suggests a brigandand villain, but Bargellini, in hisstraight-forr.ard and fast movingstyle, has choseu to shor.r'us bothsides of this vr'e1l-known character'snature, the villainous and the heroic.The beginning_of the book, in rvhichthe author speaks of N{icheie pezza'slif e bef ore he became leader of oneof the bands raised bv the Bourbonkirrg Frederick IV agairrst rhe Frenchoccupation, is very entertaining.
