FASCISM AND NAZISM [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—There

is nothing very mysterious in what excited the curiosity of Mr. Foxton Broadholt.

I wanted to say that to understand development in the future of Fascism and Nazism we should take into account this difference. Fascism is not backed by a large movement of the masses, the people, but it has the backing of the king and of monarchy ; while Nazism on the contrary arrived into power pushed by a very strong popular movement, but cannot lean on the old structure of dynasty.—With my best

regards; yours sincerely, GUGLIELMO FERRERO. Rue de r Hotel de Ville, 8, Geneve (Suisse).

[Mr. Foxton Broadholt asked whether Professor Ferrero would further elucidate a reference he made to the future consequences of the differences between Fascism and Nazism. —En. The Spectator.]
