CAETAN| PRAISES
MUSSOL|N| RULE
Envoy Declares Premier Up
set All Parties, Even His
Own Fascist.
Nv the Assnrlaind Prrkx.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md. December S.
Fascismo in Italy Is q reaction
against the former mental order In
public life" and not n revolution
against existing Italian institutions,
Ambassador Caetani of Italy ex-
planned today in speaking before the
City Club OF Baltimore. Prior TO the
rise of the Mussolini government, he
said, politics in Italy had been an
''ill-working machinery built on a
perfectly sound constitution" the re-
suit being many political parties diff
fering little III program but widely
lin opinion as to their relative ca
pacity Of governing the country
The politicians. the ambassador
said, sought cranky ideas to be used
as top plank of their rickety politi-
cal platforms and thereby get the
votes of the electors
Country Not Considered.
They did not give Il darn about
how their wildcat schemes would af-
feet the country" he added, or ex-
peCted to use these schemes as IA
camoufiage to the old routine way of
has been the pulling down of all
these camoutiages, he continued, add
ing:
He reduced the politicians to Ala
nIitiC costume and asked the public
at large to take careful look at
these gentlemen. The public laughed
and the politicians felt ashamed.
MuSSolini having busted all parties
without even greatly Sparing his own
fascist, called for all good men to
cooperate with the government. He
gladly accepts the cooperation even
1t would not aStonish me to see soon
a socialist at the head of an impor-
tant department.
Diplomacy is Revised.
In foreign relations the Mussolini
doctrine, the ambassador said, was a
reaction against the old-fashloned
mentality of occult, circumspect and
diiatory dealings" which figured one
time as the most convenient factor in
the resolution of problems.
Formerly" the ambassador said.
political connections were left over
to ferment gradually in the cellar.
occasionally tasting them with
spoon; Mussolini, instead, rather be-
lieves in placing the kettle on the fire
and to stir it up with crowbar so
that the sediments may settle more
easily and the scum may float sooner
to the surface.
Tn foreign policy he does not be-
iieve in sitting on n rock like mer-
maid, beguilingly enticing the diff
dent seamen, but bluntly meets the
questions on the principle of 'Du ut
des'-I will give if you give.
1T is new way of dealing in
diplomacy and / wish it had been fol-
lowed earlier. Italy would not have
been so often the dummy hand on the
card table of European affairs.
