As some of us see 'things these days, the tyrants of -de- pression, economic reverse and shattered hopes stalk at our ' gate', and by our doors and would have us wholly come to their humiliating terms and uncomfortable level of servi- tude. But if we have the spirit of Piero Capponi we shall think of belie there are yet for us to ring, to• inspire and to nerve, se that there shall he no failing spirit and no capitu- lation to the dark actress, sinister and pitiless, of a trying day. ...
