Foreign News: Dear, Gentle Japanese

Stirred to rapture by the week’s events was Turin’s Gazzetta dee Popolo:

“In order to judge the effects of 150 years of demo-liberalism in the United States, it suffices to see the sort of human feelings that have developed from it.

Be welcomed at our side. We will conquer.”
