Fascism Kept Italy From Bolshevism
And Made Her Into a Great Power

taxation greatly increased, the reve-
nues from taxation are falling
The cost of the Fascist military ma
chine steadily increases. The colonial
expenses are almost entirely for the
army The poor Italian colonies have
become the theater of continual Incl
dents of war. Italy never governed
means that every inhabitant costs
italy approximately $50 a year. with
this extravagant system. all the wealth
Of Great Britain could not keep up the
British colonies.
Enormous sums are spent to support
Fascist policy. Fascism has, perhaps,
the most expensive police force in the
world. There are % the police. az
the carabinieri, 80 the metropolitan
volunteers, go the railway police, 90
the narbor police, Cd the post ONCE and
telegraph police, 90 the forest police,
90 the police for roads. The result Is
that Italy spends more than four times
as much on her police as does France.
This is not regime OF order but one
Of crystallized disorder.
Economic Life DiSOrganized.
The Fascist regime costs so much
that 1t disorgani1es economic life. This
is its weakest point. Could the Fascist
incur further debts in America they
would be able to lead an artificial life
for time, but sooner or later the sys-
TEN must give way.
Fascism cannot restore the life of
Italy without re-establishing economic
and political liberty-and this would
mean the downfall of the Fascist
regime. The special police would have
to be abolished; the Ira would have to
be restored to Its true value; great
factors of production-and these things
could only be accomplished by a gov
eminent which comes within the law
and restores normal life. Fascism,
after all, is only provisional govern
ment. The longer it exists the greater
the danger there is Of a new form Of
| bolsheviSm.

My own reaction was exactly

BY r. v. d. MAGoFFIN,

President of the Archaeological Institute Of
America.
New excavations in the city Of Rome
are being pushed on apace both be-
cause Of the good luck that brought
about the discovery near the Argentina
Theater Of temples dating back to the
Republican period, and even more be-
cause the Roman authorities wish 10
have as much in readiness as possible
for the thousands of pilgrims who will
visit Italy during the 2,000th anniVer-
sary of the birth of the Roman epic
poet Vergil.
A dream Of many years standing on
the part of the Italians is on the
eve Of fulfllment. Between the ancient
great Forum in Rome, which is so well
known to tourists, and the Forum OF
Trajan, of which few know anything
more than the pictured column and
the low-cut area near it, and which is
noted more for its hundreds Of cats
than for its archaeological value. there
are six or eight blocks Of medieval
shops and houses. Both business and
residential desirability have long since
departed from this area of buildings
which cover the major part Of the
ancient Forums of Trajan and Of Au-
gustus. But now both these forums
have been cleared. and the fine center
Of ancient Rome is again free.
The best place from which to see the
newly excavated region is the top OF
the Tore dele Milizie, popularity known
as the Tower of Nero. One is told by
many of the modern guides, who are
never averse to approaching the SEN
sational, that it was from the top OF
this tower that Nero, as he fiddled and
sang, watched the great fire which sc
nearly destroyed Rome. It seems almost
there seems to be one great difficulty
about his explanation, namely, that
the tower was built sometime In the
eleventh century AID, when Nero had
been dead more than 1000 years. But
after all, what's 1000 years among

~ put aside to this end. Since oul
population is daily increasing, we must
stimulate the productive powers of oul
soil so as to make Italy self-supporting,
Another problem to which the gov
eminent is giving great attention is un.
employment. Although there still re-
mains much work for the regime to &C.
complish in this direction, much prog
ress already has been achieved.
Outstanding Benefit Cited.
Among the many benefits which the
Fascist regime has conferred on Italy
by far the greatest, and certainly the
one which bears the seal Of Benitc
MuSsolini's genius, is the reconciliation
between Italy and the Vatican. BY thi!
treaty Of the Lateran the Duce ha.
solved the question which for two gen.
erationS has been troubling our country
No longer are the Vatican and the
Quirinal forced to make a pretense Of
ignoring each other.
The millions of voters who have sig.
nified their approval of FaScism have
not voted for list of names, but for ar
idea. And the results Of the election.
have demonstrated beyond all doubt
that the confidence of Italy in this ides
is as unlimited as the confidence which
the Duce has in himself and his mis-.
sion.
Taking all these factors into consid.
Grafton, have no hesitancy in saying
that Italy has just entered upon a new
and more splendid era of Fascism, anC
that We will be able to hand over to oul
children an Italy immeasurably greater
even than the italy of today.

Italians Take Cue
From Old Israelites

Taking their cue from the ancient
rsraelites, who smeared lambs blood on
their doors during the Egyptian cap
tivity when the angel of the Lord was
about to kill the first born Of the Egyp-
tians, in order that their children
might be recognized and spared, the
Italians now place white ribbons in
front of their houses in which children
have been newly born. This custom,
which was instituted In Turin, has now
spread to Milan and is expected to be-
come nationwide. It is designed to
show the esteem inI which the regime
holds those women who, in the words
OF one newspaper, "have given to the
country sons who tomorrow will be SOL
diers." Everything is being done to
continue interest In the "demographic
battle" through Wlnich Mussolini hopes
to raise the man power of the country
to the maximum and to recover the
power Of ancient Rome.

TWENTY years ago I heard
l. a famous editor deliver a
talk on advertising before
the Chicago Advertising Club. I
was just out of college and had
seen very few great men, so the
talk made a deep impression.
I remember the editor said that
reputation is repetition" and
he told some stories to illus
trate the point.
The other night in New York
I heard the same great editor
speak on the same subject. To
my surprise it was the very
same speech.
Another speaker was a cele-
brated banker whom I had
heard on two previous occa-
sions. He also repeated him
self.
AS we left the dining room,
one Of my friends, who had
noted the repetitions, remarked
on them gloomily.

soon tell them all. They are
quoted, contradicted, modified,
but the amount remains COM
putably small"
1t is a good thing for human
ity that this is so. Nature ap-
parently designed the game of
human progress to last a long
time, and provided that only a
small advance should be made
in any one generation. Sup
pose one mind should discover
everything. How 1t would take
the zest out of the game!
Moreover, it is decidedly
heartening to us average folks
to know that only a very little
difference separates us from
the smartest. Lincoln remarked
on it. 81 have talked with great
men," he said, land I cannot
see wherein they differ from
others"

Generally speaking, the great
achieve their greatness by in
dustry, rather than by mere
brilliance. The editor whom
quoted is said to be the highest
paid in the world. But If you
divide his salary by the more
than 200 newspapers which
print his editorials, he is the
lowest paid worker whom each
Of those papers employs. He
produces more than anybody
else and works longer hours to
do 1t.
I was glad that I went to that
dinner. 1t reminded me how
little wisdom and genius really
rule the world; how far indus
trious effort can stretch a few
ideas, or even one idea.
And certainly any one of us
can manage, in life time, to
get hold of at least one idea.

Der of foreign employees of the China
Merchants Steam Navigation Co., a
purely Chinese concern, against q IS
per cent deduction from their pay to
"soothe soldiers at the front" The DO
sttion Of all employees is further made
worse by the fact that salaries are sew

transportation. The company has the
largest fleet Of ships of any Chinese

ployed are British navigating officers
