NJ USsOLINI, unlike Napoleon,
M has no Talleyrand. On the
wv other hand he has Dino
Grandi. Grand may not

chief. OF the two great men, Museum
A comparatively new phenomenon
on the scene of European politics and
world diplomacy, this olive skinned,
black-bearded, sonorous-voiced farmers
son. this soldier Orator writer organizer
who is now minister for foreign affairs
in Mussolini's cabinet, and who Is
coming to America this month Tor
series of conferences with President
Hoover.
Contemplating him. one Is reminded
Of two things. One is that Fascist
italy is the land of young men.
(Grandi is only 36) The other is that
the Duce, gearing Italy to one-man
control maintaining a personal gov
eminent without precedent since
Napoleonic times, never has found 1t
easy to link the ministerial job to the
right mantle essence of Brightness In
this case being absolute devotion to the
leader combined with the brains and
character to handle big job.
u
formidable Duce to find men OF first
rate character and ability whom he
can trust also to carry out his wishes
and designs implicitly and efhciently.
Yes-men are plentiful. Men of indie
pendent character who are also able
and ioyal are rare. Grandi Is one OF
those rare ones.
Groomed for His Post.
He is, in this youthful land of swift
careers and equally swift eclipses, the
outstanding instance OF the young man
whom Mussolini has taken to his heart,
groomed for a post, and who, so far
from being spoiled by the process, has
developed remarkably under it and
turned out notable success.
He was not one Of the quadrumvirate
who led the march on Rome. The
measure of the swiftnesS of his rise
may be gagged somewhat by presenting
him against the background of Fascist
affairs only four years ago.
He was an unknown quantity out
side the peninsula, and generally re-
garded as on trial In it, when I went
inquire into the delicate question Of
what would happen If and when
MusSolini passed from the earthly
scene. At that time there was a gen.
eral ideal believe it still persists
that to speculate openly on this sub
ject Is tantamount to high treason.
was therefore somewhat surprised to
find myself still in Rome after 1 had
made known the object of my visit.
was even more surprised to find lead
ing Fascists quite ready and indeed
anxious to discuss this question and
impress me with the fact that all this
had been thought out and prepared
against.
The Fascist regime was so solidly es-
tablished now that there was no like
lihood of it collapsing should the Inch
pin, unfortunately, be withdrawn. The
King would simply consult the cabinet.
and. on its recommendation, appoint
a new premier. And after the neces-
sary period of mourning, all would go
along rs before.

Italy's Foreign Pilot


Dino Grandi was not then on the list
of eligibles. He was still too new. The
Duce had sprung him on the foreign
Office the previous year. 1t was a sur
prise appointment. The diplomats and
the foreign Office crowd did not like it.
Grandi was an outsider, and they would
have preferred an insider.
However, by the beginning of 1880
Grand had moved up In the Fascist
hierarchy until he was regarded as
third on the list Of eligible candidates,
Bottai being second and Balbo first.
Today the choice would seem to lie be-
tween Grandi and Balbo, with Grand
probable favorite among the mod
crates.
Hard work, studied correctitude,
steady application, oratorical gifts. a
quick and logical mind, attractive msn-
ners and quite a preSence-these are
in the van of the assets which have
built him up. He is neither a careerist
nor an opportunist, nor an intriguer;
If he were any Of these things he might
have scintillated while, but he would
not have lasted, gone on and up.
Further, his reputation in interna-
tional circles would not be what it is.
He would have to be regarded with
cyniciSm, instead of with interest and
respect. by the old, experienced expo
nents of statecraft and diplomacy be-
fore whom he has lately been appearing
in the role of Italy's spokesman.
Not Hurried by ii Duce.
Mussolini, having watched him and
picked him, did not hurry him. He was
not released for appearances on major
international occasions until he had
undergone a thorough apprenticeship,
found his feet, and learned the ropes.
The Duce trained him over small jumps
before putting him at the big ones such
as the London naval conference and the
recent league meeting at Geneva when
Italy took the initiative and the head
lines with a proposal that all states 60
ing to the disarmament conference in
February should suspend their con-
struction programs and refrain from
increasing the existing strength of their
naval, military or air ornaments.
He comes from Mordano, a little
township in the neighborhood of
Bologna. He fought in the war as a
ranker and subsequently as an officer
in ap Alpine regiment mountaineering
Is his hobby. He was commended and
decorated for valor on several occasions.
After the war he was one of the dis
gruntled, angry and disillusioned ex-
soldiers who failed to find Italy a land
fit for heroes. who were furious to see
the old-gang liberal politicians falling
in Paris to get their full share of the
loot CT war and something over, and
who found vent for their feelings and
hope for the future in the militant
Fascist movement launched by Musso-
lini the ex-socialist editor of Milan.
He was in the Bologna branch, and
very active. His impressive physique
and able brain made him a natural
leader. His cratory was exceedingly
effective. But he was no fire-eater.
He was moderate-and those were the
days of Farinacci, the extremist, and
revolutionary methods Hence in the
early stages of the revolution he was
not SO well known as score Of other
Fascist leaders.
Besides he was man of Left SYM
pathies. He got elected member of
the Italian Parliament in 1921. He

Filipino Job Hunters
Asked to Avoid Hawaii

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Gov. Law
renee M. Judd of Hawaii has taken
steps to prevent needless immigration
into the island Of unskilled labor from
the Philippines. He has cabled to
Governor General Dwight F. Davis Of
the Philippines cautioning the Philips
pine government against the coming to
Hawaii of numbers of FilipinoS without
definite prospects or promise OF employ
ment.
The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation has simultaneously reduced Its
regular importations of Filipinos to
about IS month-just to keep up
skeleton" organization for labor sup
ply purposes. In the past the planters
have at times brought in several hum
dreds a month, but the labor SUPPLY OF
the plantation Is now adequate and
the policy Is ito guard against surplus
of labor
Unemployment in Hawaii Is not acute,
but the island cannot absorb the I'M
employed of other sections, and no one
from the United States should come
here without work assured. The gov
ernor's protest was based on the APP
prehension that, irrespective of the
careful organization of the Hawaiian
planters to maintain labor supply at the
right level, large numbers of Filipinos
might come independently and without
prospect of work A good many are al
ready doing this, and ID y to warn them
before they decide to leave the Philip
pines that the governor acted.

MussOlini's Fan Mail
Reveals Popularity

ROME, Italy.-The world is fun OF
Mussclini fans, many of whom insist
upon expressing their esteem for him in
fan letters. Sometimes they carry it too
far One Eng'ishman was so excited
about the recent row between Mussolini
and the Pope that he wrote the Duce
long message:
THANK you for Riding the Catholic
Church of the germ Of B;lshevism," ne
wrote There may be those who criti-
CHE. but don't let 1t worry you. just
remember that jean dare was also
criticized This is the first time on
record that Fascism's two-hsted apostle
has been mentioned in connection with
the French mcrtyr.
Judging from the fan mail received
Mussolini enjoys even more popularity
in democratic ountries-notably Eng
lar4I and America-than he does in un-
democratic lands. For the sake OF those
mericans who send letters to the Duce
1t is worth noting that he personally
seldom sees any fan mail. He Is so sa-
tiated with praise In his own country
that he has no appetite for compliments
from "unknowns." And fortunately. ne
has better things to occupy his atten'
ticn.

fell if you mentioned his name just
then; and to have asked what the
chances were of a royalist-regular army
attempt to wrest power from the mid
dle-class Fascists on Mussolini's de-
mise would have been tactless, to say
the least.

Canals to Link Volga
With MOskwa River

MOSCOW, U. s. S. R-Prepara-
tons have begun for the construction
of a canal that will connect the Rivers
Moskwa and Volga. The canal, which
will be approximately 100 miles in
length, will be finished in three or four
years. Costs are estimated at 200,-
900, 600 rubles. GA ruble is normally
worth so cents) The plans have been
drawn up by Awdjejew, Soviet en-
gineer.
BY another canal the Moskwa is
being linked up with the River Okla.
Construction of this canal will last ap-
proximately five years and will cost
250, 000, 900 rubleS.
Moscow, quite Continental city, will
thus be turned into a port, which
will be connected with three seas-the
Caspian through the Volga, the Black
Sea through the Volga-Don Canal and
the Baltic Sea through the system Of
the MARY Canals" Seagoing ships Of
considerable size will come to this port
and Moscow will thus be brought Ia
