To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Allow me to say a few words in answer to an article which appeared in the editorial column of Wednesday's CRIMSON under the title of "Duces Wild". This article was probably intended to throw ridicule at Mussolini, but unfortunately the author has descended to such a depth of calumnious utterances that instead of provoking mirth, his words bring only disgust to the reader. The disparagement of great men is a pastime indulged in by the intellectuals of every country, when it is done with due regard to decency of speech, but when such a diversion goes beyond all limits of moderation, it then becomes the recreation only of the uncivil and low-minded. In Italy I remember having noticed on various occasions the name of the late President Woodrow Wilson ridiculed by university publications at a time when that name was most unpopular among the Italian students; but never was their language in any way discourteous or defamatory. I think, Mr. Editor, that for the sake of sane judgment, which is due to all men, including Mussolini, it would be will for our critic to resort to less ambiguity in his mad search for humor.
