ing of Fascist officials, grows hourly
in spite Of the repressive measures
being used by Mussolini in his last
terrific effort to maintain himself as
head Of the government.
MussoIln Brings In Troops.
If the king succeeds in bringing
Mussolini's political enemies back in
to the government, the blackshirt
leader sees his day done. To prevent
this, he has brought all his Fascist
reserves to Rome.
But neither the Fascists nor the
other reactionaries whom the king
seems inclined to entrust with the
government, can stop the rising tide
of opposition and save the country
from violent civil war unless strong
action is taken at once. The people
are too much aroused over the Fascist
oppression and the latest horrible
crime against the deputy to submit
without fight.
European officials look with great
alarm on the present straining of op-
posing forces and anticipate the grav-
est results for all Europe unless some
sort of stable influence comes to the
rescue in Italy. What that "stabil-
/ izer" could be is not predicted, be-
cause none IS evident in the turmoil,
nor has any been for the two years
the Fascists have ruled, except their
now exposed iron fist and brass heart
Dawes Plan Endangered.
The capitalists are greatly worried
over the effect Italy's internal war on
the prospective July inter-allied con-
ference on the Dawes report. With
the German situation as uncertain as
it is, the French situation almost too
delicately poised, and the rest of mid
die Europe and the Balkans still in
turmoil, particularly in Poland and
Roumania, the proponents Of the
American financiers plan to save"
(by enslaving) Europe, have cause
enough to be upset and frightened.
Soviet Inspires Hope.
OF in the east stands Soviet Rus
STA, bulwark and hope to the op-
pressed workers and peasants, who
are learning quickly that there is
nothing for them in any government
but one formed by themselves. The
capitalist industrial lords of Europe
and America know we'll enough that
it is the Communist idea which they
must fight most if they wish to save
their hides and fortunes
Fascist forces have been disinte-
grating for months due to internal
wrangling over the division of spoils.
Charges and counter-charges of graft
have been flying thick and fast and
given Mussolini a good many Sleep
less nights Probably he has already
laid his plans for escaping with his
own share of the Doodle when the
critical moment arrives and he is on
the outside all around, as he seems
very near to being now.
Graft Leaks Out.
Less than month ago Italy was
shaken with the attack of Massino
Rocco against the minister of finance,
in which certain shady dealings of the
minister with Standard Oil were re-
vealed. Mussolini succeeded for the
few weeks interval in keeping news
of the Fascist fighting out of the
press, and particularly out of the for
eign news service, but the poison is
leaking out now.
From all indications Fascism is
doomed in Italy, altho similar move
ments in other countries, such as the
Ku Klux Khan and American Legion,
have not yet reached their peak. And
with the downfall of Fascism goes
Sig. Benito Mussolini. After that,
who knows?
