SPIRIT OF FASC|SM

Freedom of Discussion OF
Political Points Increases
Surprisingly.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

| Special Cable Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS, June 17-Italy escaped death

did not escape taxes. Taxation has In.

These increased tax burdens have

for these evils is enthusiasm, and that

Premier Mussolinis occasional bursts OF
Jtngoism. The people, he rightly calcu-
lated, do not mind making sacrifices ii

Blackshirt Squads Are Missing.
Blackshirt squads no longer parade
in the streets with martial stride, dart
ing menacing glanceS right and left
Orders have been issued that the black
| shirt must not be worn except on active
| duty, and while many Italians wear the
Fascist emblem in their buttonholes
they are by no means in the majority
Still more surprising to this writer
was the freedom with which Italians
| now will discuss politics. Three years
ago, even in the privacy of their homes,
few could be induced to reveal their
| frank opinions on political matters and
the natives showed fidgety embarrass-
| ment when questioned by foreigners.
Now they will say what they think in
any public place without even lowering
their voices. Even the newspapers,
though still strictly in Fascist hands,
have In many cases adopted a new tone
| OF independence and freely express
criticisms of administrative abuses, par
ticularly in municipal affairs.
Government Is Costly.
The Fascist form of government is
extremely costly. Army and navy costs
have risen to wild heights, compared
with the old regime, and the cost of
| civil administration also, through the
multiplication of government ofices.
Paternalism and public works call for

1taly'S position Is not worse economical
ly than that Of many other countries
and seems actually to be improving to-
day, when that Of most other countries
Is growing worse The low prices now
prevailing for raw materials, Of which
Italy Is big importer, have greatly
helped the country. Coal, cotton, sugar,
coffee and grain are imported at record
low prices today and as a consequence
Italy'S trade balance is improving, de-
spite the impossibility of increasing ex-

enthusiastically, even truculently, and
the inquirer was left in doubt as to
how much was sincerity and how much
fear. Today this question is treated
with shrug as of slight importance
Some Italians, even Fascists, will say
that the regime has more enemies in
Italy than real supporters, but the
significant fact is that probably 80 per
cent of the Italians are neither for
nor against, but accept Fascism as an
existing fact and would not raise q
finger either to attack or defend It,
Mussolini personally has become
largely a figurehead. The Democrats
still hate him for his personal part In
destroying democratic forms, but every
body recognizes his unique power to
galvanize the masses, and the people
look upon him as a bulwark against
the deadening bureaucracy. which Is
spreading like cancer In Italy as
we'll as in Russia.
As one wise Italian remarked to this
writer. who knows but that Mussolini
may yet save Italy from Fascism!"

PEDESTRIAN DEATHS
HIGH IN AUTO TOLL
Over Half Traffic Fatalities Oc-
CURED at Intersections,
Figures Show.

More pedestrians were killed than
passengers in automobiles as a result
Of motor vehicle accidents during the
past year. according to the Third
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety.
Fifty-five per cent of the 81 900
automobile deaths in 1929, the stats
tics show, were pedestrians run down
by automobiles. More than half of the
accidents involving vehicles and pedes-
trians took place at street intersections
What happened at these intersection
accidents was briefly catalogued as
follows: No signal, 27,177; against the
signal, 9,022; diagonally across the
intersection, 1892, and with the signal,
4,244
Violation of the right Of way was
said to be one of the most productive
causes of vehicle accidents. The con-
ference report declared that this showed
the need for definite right-of-way
regulations.
