It is paradoxical that a man can be so
manifestly contemptuouS of women, at the same
time inspiring their alteration. But the para
doxeS, where MuSSolini is concerned, lie not so
much in his personal character as in situations
and conditions.
There is nothing paradoxical, for instance
about his order requiring the registration of ex
pectant mothers 1t is consistent with the die
tators proclaimed concept of woman as bio
logical necessity. It fits in with his program
for the protection of motherhood-the one i'm
portant function accorded woman in the Fascist
State.
Paradoxica1 arbitrary, contradictory, incon-
SiStent. All these terms have been hurled at
the proletariat who became dictator, the black
smiths son who became greater than a king.
The revolutionary Socialist who tossed aside
the red symbol of internationaltsm for the
black shirt of Fascist supernationalism.
Even his name is paradoxical it is pointed
out. Especially so in the hour of the con-
cordat, for Benito MuSSolini was named in
memory Of Benito JuareZ, leader Of the anti
clerical revolt in Mexico during the 1850's.
But. paradoxical as the statement itself may
seem, there is nothing essentially paradoxical
about MusSolini, according to standards he
himself has established. Every apparent incon-
SiStency fits into the perfect pattern of his
plaza plan designed before the march on.
Rome. He is an opportunist, an ultra
unitarian whose object is power and despite
the accusation of egotism, not so much per-
sonal power as national power.
HERE are few Illuminating high lights Of
his career: In 1909 when addressing his
fellow workers, he cried: eff within five min

was accused of writing articles in the Avanti
vilifying the army.
The chief paradoxes Of which MusSolini is
accused fan largely under three heads: Women,
religion politics.
How artfully he has taken these three sep
arate threads in a nations life and woven them
according to his own design. Here Is his former
enemy, the church, joining with him in his
utilization OF women for a political sortee.
Women, to whom he gave the municipal vote
on the eve Of suppressing municipal elections!
The church, with whom he effected the con-
cordat and denied it its long undisputed right

reduced to one-man marionette show!

RACK in 1922 when Mussolini outlined to me
the Fascist program just before the march
in Rome, colonization was an important plan.
Today MuSsolini is just as frank.
by 1910 we must be sixty million" he pro-
claimed recently, Gin order to impress ether
nations with our need of colonies"
But" CONES the query. where will he get
the colonies?"
An uneasy France asks the same question.
Then, too. Mussolinis prediction of another
war and the need of an army Of 5000 900 by
1885 must not be overlooked in his campaign
for an increased birth rate.
And in Italy, as in melodrama, it is the
woman who pays and pays and pays. Woman,

agate.
He has. however, drawn the male italian into
the l:gal obligation, too. In 1926 he placed
a tax on bachelors and every Deputy pledged
himself to matrimony within the yearl
MusSolini looks with frowning disapproval
upon Illegal unions. Yet up to the time he
became premier, his own relations with the
mother of his three children are what is now
politely referred to as a socialist union.
This free union Is still pointed out as evil
dence of inconsistency-of not practicing what
he breaches. But 1t must be remembered
not only in this matter but in others-that
when Mussolini became premier he took upon
himself the obligations of one His individual
opinions and preferences were subjected to the
requirements of his position.
It was not even necessary for King Victor
Emmanuel to suggest that Italy's premier could
not maintain an irrs gular menage. Mussolini
himself fastened to have a civil marriage cere-
mony performed with the woman who had
borne him two sons and daughter. To do
so, when he must have realized the important
alliances he might have made If free illustrates
an italian code of honor which the supposedly
more straight-laced Anglo-Saxon cannot always
point to with pride
N the campaign for more babies the Italian
dictator has set his subjects good example.
His eldest child, Edda was 18 years old when
little Romano MuSSolini appeared two years
ago. ana now there Is another daughter to
stimulate interest in the increased birth rate.

D0HENY is PLANNING
TO HANDLE FORTUNE
Sons Death Throws Management
of Oil Estate Upon 72-Year.
Old Father.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, February 19.-The
business of looking after the vast oil
fortune which he accumulated today
was back in the hands of Edward l..
Doheny, ST., whose son, Edward. l. Do
heny, jr., was shot to death Saturday
by his secretary, Theodore Hugh Punk
EFT, who committed suicide. Young Do
neny had been head of the Doheny in
terests since his father retired, some
time ago.
Physicians, who had feared the ~
year-old oil magnate would be unable
to withstand the shock of his sons
death, reported that any immediate
danger of a breakdown had passed.
Funeral services for young Doheny
were planned for this morning at st.
Vincent's Church, which his father
built four years ago at a cost OF $780,
900. Interment was to be in the Do
heny family mausoleunl.
Death certificates for murder ana
suicide wrote an end yesterday to the
nolice Investigation of the killing of the
Younger Doheny by his friend and sec
rotary, T. Hugh Plunkett, who killed
himself later. - .
Coroner Frank Nance attributed the
double shooting to the insanity OF
Plunkett after three Investigations
reached the same conclusion.
