 MT. Fish declared he would predi- cate his activities in congress upon reply received from Mr. Kellogg. It Is known the New York represen- tative has favored introducing . resolution to investigate the activi- ties of the Fascist League of North America.
 "Fascism may be the kind of gov ernment needed in Italy" said Mr. Fish. "and Mussolini may have sav- ed Italy from the horrors of com munism. but it is the nesation and denial of our republican form of government.
 Ut is a repudiation of government by the consent of the governed and of all popular government It is the rule by force and tho bayonet and the denial of all civil libeuties, the right to vote, the liberty of the press the freedom of speech and of as- sembly.
 "Mussolini says our democratic form of government Is a failure. He has a right to his opinion, but not to try to apply Fascist methods in the United States by preventing Ital- ians from becoming American citizens"
