        In fact Mussolini was very popular in the USA. He even had a regular
column in the Hearst chain for several yeats--ghost written by his Jewish
mistress, Margherita Sarfati. He was als omuch admired by Father Coughlin,
the radio priest, who had a very large following, and even thoiugh of
running for President, but was ineligible because he was a Canadian.
Ethiopia and the Spanish Civil War brought an end to Mussolini's poplarity
in the USA.
