On Road to Normally.
rta,v was on the road back to nor
malcy today after a most exhilerating
week that saw the younger generation
rise to power and in a great triumph
Ioyerthrow the older politicians.
Tens of thousands of the young. Wig
rous fascist and thefr enthusiastic
dmirers who accompanied them here
from all over the land were on the way
}bacl TO their homes today. Yesterday
theirs was the thrill of real Roman
triumph in which a million people made
the streets ring with plaudits for king
and country after DR.. Benito Mussolini
and his new fascist ministry had taken
their oaths before the sovereign. AS
soon as this formal ceremony had ended,
he black -shrted boys and men who
brought about the rise OF Mussonnt
marched as vctors through the ancient
btreets of the city, crowded Win a
vast concourse that for the day doubled
the population of Rome.
Will Use Iron Hand.
Today the flush of trump gave way
ito the drab business of toll, individual
and national. DIR. Mussolini was on the
lob early. and he said he was going to
see to it that everybody else engaged
the business of the nation followed
|, lit. He made it plain that he was
! ding to rule with an iron hand that
ItaJv might the sooner be restored to
a better economic basis, and more
powerful place in International affairs.
For the moment at least, communism
has no part in the life of Italy. The
onslaught of the fascist has rendered
all radicalism a paralyzing blow. Carry
ing their battle into the labor temples
and the meeting places of their an
tagonsts, the militant nationalists have
seized the records and rosters and
burned them
Unafraid OF Parliament.
Politically the chief topic in Italy
cabinet will be when it goes before the
Ehamber of deputies. One thing is GER
lain. If Mussolini's government does not
eceive a majority in the chamber, he
jill have parliament dissolved and then
NE fascist will take their cause to
he country. Mussolini made this lear
ast Monday when he built a new cab
met at the request of the king.
Mussolini was the central figure of
3the big procession yesterday. Like the
tothers who walked behind, the leader
wore the black shirt of the organiza-
tion. He was bare-headed and in a
buttonhole was the fascist badge,
! while on his sleeve were several stripes
showing that he had been wounded in
the war.
I Mussolini was surrounded by his
general staff. including Signor Bian-
4 chi, Signor de V. Ecchi, a number of
general and several fascist deputies
He walked with firm step the entire
four miles from Borghese Park: where
the procession began. to the disband-
ing point at the railroad station.

of the city just in time to fall in
line when the procession sArted.
Nearly $4,000 fascist came from Tus-
cany alone. The Romans never fall
