front. a corporal. with 81 different
wounds from the bursting of Il single
she'll Here is how he explained TO me
what happened at that time:
The thing that spurred me on to
my final break with the Socialist
party was the absolute difference of
opinion between the leaders of the
party and myself on the question of
Italy's entrance into the World War
The Italian Socialists could not
realize that for Italy entrance into
the war was a burning necessity:
that it would not only weld and
strengthen the unity of the still
young and untried nation but would
win her the place she deserves among
the great powers.
So he left the Avanti and Socialism
behind him. Two days later he had
the idea of founding his own paper
with his own ideas for policy. He
told me that that very night the first
edition of the Popolo d'Ilalia ap-
peared. There was no staff. no paper,
no presses nothing but an empty
office. But Benito Mussolini was
there. lie had borrowed everything
The paper was on the newsstands that
night. and within the week a force in
Italian life. When telling me the
story he said
You must not think that it was
easy for me to abandon the belief and
the party to which I had consecrated
my whole existence and for which
had suffered poverty and exile. for it
was certainly the most difficult and
critical moment of my life. Only the
profound conviction that what | was
doing was absolutely right and sim
cere gave me the strength TO COM
pletely break all links with the past"
Then came the Idea of Fascismo
He told me that he knew at once
how big it would be. and that it was
the end toward which he had been
working all his life.
| 1t spread quickly. And soon he
was running for Parliament on his
own ticket-and defeated. There was
| some trouble. He was imprisoned.
and when released found that he was
| left practically deserted. One fol-
lower came to him with sympathy.
Never mind" said Mussolini, with
| absolute confidence. 'in a year they
| will all be coming to me in the great
est palace in Rome"
When I asked him if he was really
prophesying. he answered frankly
! How can I say that could actu-
| ally foresee five years ago the victory
of Fascism or the triumphant march
! on Rome? But ! certainly had a
| vague but strong presentiment that
guided me and told me 1 had chosen
| the right way
| He merely knew that it must come,
for he had so infinitely judged the
Italian situation that he knew moth
| ing but Fascimo could win out and
| that he must be in power in that
time.
When that time came he was so
I ,f,,1 l,4
overthrow everything in Italy.
Again a decisive judgment. He had
not triumphed to overthrow but to
| build up.

and that even as a child the political
field of battle had a singular and
tremendous fascination for ne. To
fight to establish that social system
which at the moment and under the
circumStan noes seems nearest Ou' own
ideals and best of the public good has
ALWAYS seemed to me to be the most
worthwhile thing a human being
can do"
LIE turned to Socialism as his first
L L ideal. thinking it the means to-
ward an unknown. happy ending for
the troubles of the world.
But even at IS, poorly dressed
country boy in peasants cape and
broad -brimmed hat. he took no creed,
no idea, no belief for granted.
He threw his first bombshell then
at his first Socialist congress, when.
disillusioned and disappointed at the
speeches of the great stars OF So
cialism. he made his own first speech.
unheralded, and denounced them to
their faces.
He told me he felt absolutely no
nervousness, no indecision. He sim
ply knew that he could dominate that
meeting-and he did.
I understood how much Socialism
when he explained 1T to me:
Socialism, as | knew 1t as Il boy,
was quite different thing from what
it is now. Then it was to me a politi-
cal doctrine with the fascination of
sincerity and enthusiasm, with the
conviction of serving just and gen
erouS cause. My great love for the
people among whom l lived. my fam
lily traditions, my environment-all
led me toward Socialism.
But even within my party l was
always energetically opposed to any
thing that led to parliamentary com
promises and corrupt politics, and
tried to lead them back to the origi-
nal purity of their ideals. but gradu-
ally l had to realize that the spirit
of my party had changed forever and
that all my efforts were useless"
He quickly became a big factor in
the politics of the village. where he
had followed his mothers footsteps
by teaching school for several
months. But, despising dishonest
politics and finding his opponent
cheating the ballots, he broke UP the
ballot boxes on election day and fed
the country rather than go to prison.

could from digging bitches To teach

But his Socialistic articles and ac-
tivities were so stormy that he was
even exiled from exile. for Switzer-
land ordered him to leave the coun-
try and never return.
He returned to Italy and became
the editor of the most radical Social
list paper, the Avanti of Milan.

hit upon the thing she had been
searching for. For the second time
she heard the name of small dealer
in produce mentioned. The Chinese
cook i'll the home of Goodrich had
ratified off the names of all trades
men who supplied foods and other
necessities to the Goodrich home
The detectives gathered these names,
hoping to find among them some one

it would be justifiabie to suspect
They had been. however. the usual
run of vegetable and produce deal
ers. laundry agents and messengers
for the foreign meat houses.
Among them, at the Goodrich
hone, had been one who was called
Neu Chi-kwei. who brought vege-
tables and garden produce from his
store on Haskell road, a narrow, busy
street at tho edge of the foreign dis
trict. Constable 1912 had remarked
when Neu Chi-kwei's store was
mentioned that he came a long way
each morning To bring small pack

which was four miles away. at the
other side Of the district III which
the foreign residents live. When

served his produce to the English
man. Boldly, on Shantung road. three
miles in another direction. Police
woman Vidal was convinced that a
clue was being developed at last.
Chinese merchants are lazy. They
viii not serve patrons who require
deliveries if they reside far away.
The widow of a third victim of the
assassin, d Mrs. Forrest, also revealed
Neu Chikwei as among her trades
men. She remembered that he had
been recommended to her for his hon
esty and the freshness of his wares by
another of Neu's patrons. an eXiled
Russian priest. Again. both the For
rests and their friend. the priest, lived
far from Neu'S neighborhood.

said. he was disclosed as u kindly pa

colony of eXiles from the aristocratic
IA miles of Siberia, himself a refugee
from NladivoStok. What few pos
sessions he had brought away with
him he had turned into money, which
he shared generously with any of his
country folk who were in need. After
much consideration it was decided to
question the priest frankly as to Neu
Chi-kwei. However, he knew little
more than the others. Neu had ap-

no radical change in a nations his
tory has had SO few ugly pages. He
found Italy rotting into BolsheVism

process of ordering the police to give
them their free choice Of going to

her tremendous water power to cleo

wears ago most of the wheat for her
bread and spaghetti had to come
, from here and from Canada for lack

| Italian peasant. SO that this year they
| will not only supply themselves but
have a surplus crop to sell abroad.
| There has not been strike since he
| came into power. and the factories
are working full blast.
But here is his own estimate of
| what he has done and the spirit that
! has made it possible:
"If I were to find one word for my
| ideal. for the faith that has always
beckoned to me and urged me on
| through the darkest days of my ca
reer, perhaps none would express II
better than the one used so often by
your great American philosopher,
William James - 'pragmatism'; in
other words. fulfllment.
! II have always believed with him
that an action should be judged more
! by it's results than by the basic prin.
ciple or theories that inspired it, and
| that II is always far better to act
promptly and decisively than to lose
1
| oneself in endless theoretic argu'
ments. Truth and usefulness. knowl.
edge and action, must go hand in
hand.
| And it is to this very faith in ac-
F.; tion-this same ardent love of life
and combat-that Fascism owes its
| success.
| What it has accomplished in six
short years is already a milestone OF
history. But We will leave 1t to
others who will come later to formu'
late our principles and explain our
! theories. Our aim is action
| This is the spirit with which he
alone took 100000 people and
through inexorable will, tireless toll
and incessant example has given back
to them in three years honor, courage
and power, with prince and peasant
working for him side by side.

must he-because he is miracle
