The Argument Continues

QUITE some time ago was defending democracy

it not impossible to achieve any goal, however
radical. through legislative means if Overwhelm-
ing majority of the people wanted it. The Commun-
list said the rich would yield to the mild
est plan for the redistribution of wealth.
I cited the fact that during the the govern
ment voted power to cOnscript life itself and
that the resistance meager. Naturally, didn't
let him get of the trail to argue the merits of
the and the justice of the draft.
Still. he didn't seem bowled over by my argument
You don't understand human nature" he said III
grant that under proper emotional stimulus even
rich man may consent to let the government tell
him to go to and get shot. You can take his
life but there is emotional stimulus short of hit
ting him the head by which you can take his
money
CUriOusly enough, The Times seems to have about
the same point of view IN its contention that no kind
Of patriotic appeal can move the very rich to
consent to any Curtailment of their wealth and
power. But I wondering if the realization might
not be driven home that certain kinds of tax eX-
emption if they are legal and generous and

You Should See Them

IF you have never seen Mr. Crowninshield and Mr.
i Trumbul in action in the finals of a politeness
tournament in somebody's penthouse then all you
have seen in the way of manners is at best merely
the rough-and-tumb department of a lot of buns

Moody and Jacobs, McLarnin and Ross when Mr.
CroWninShied and Mr.. Trumbull come down to the
championship with first Mr.. CrownnShield winning
by mere infection, then Mr.. Trumbull taking back
the title by beating him to it in lighting match for
his opponents cigaret.
Nobody with any brains would ever let them meet
at the door to the dining room or the cart where
the butler pours the Scotch and Soda. They would
both starve before either of them ever agree to go
in to fang meat ahead of the other or die horribly
of thirst before either would accept first drink And
they would be each too doggedly determined to out
polite one another ever to accept defeat out OF
mercy for the others suffering
So the thought of Mr.. Crownnsheld's becoming

nant to all who know him but just as fantastic II

Hirohito has been relief all his life so the

cause. He thought he could en-
list many of these veterans in a
common movement.
On March %, 1919, in hall in
an obscure square in Milan, he
formed his first Fascist organiza-
tionN He addressed an audience
of 145, all veteran front-line SOL
diers.
He said the Fascist movement
wanted to represent the cause of
the old soldiers and should do
everything in its power to fight
parliamentary candidates who
had been anti-war.
TINE Socialists, the Commun-
Il lists, and even the government,
were using force. They would
meet force with force In flaming
editorials he told the Socialist
JackalS" to stand back.
In october, 1919, he held his
first Fascist congress in Florence.
The delegates represented $4,000
inscribed members. The Social
lists tainted them as to the source
of their money, limiting it was
furnished by industrialists and
bankers, who wanted to break up
the trades unions.
In the fall of 1919 the FaSciStS
put up 10 candidates for Parlia-
ment, headed by MuSSolini. All
were soundly defeated.
Now began a long series Of open
battles in most cities and towns
of Italy between Reds and Fascists.
No quarter was asked, none given.
Many we're killed and wounded on
both sides.
MusSolini summed up the situa-
ton in one sentence:
Revenge! Henceforth the Fas-
cists will know but one law-the
law of the desert"
DITCHED battles were fought
i for possession of town halls.
If the Reds started a strike, the
Black Shirts often broke it. One
weak and spineless government
followed another. One premier
stepped upon another's heels.
AS the Reds diminished in
power, the Fascists grew. They
increasingly won the street bat
ties and 33 Fascists, headed by
Mussolini, now 38, were elected
to Parliament, where they faced
vastly hostile opposition.
On June 81, 1921, Mussolini
made his first speech, a sweeping

ITO control high blood pressure and to permit the
Il sufferer to live as long as possible certain meas
ures are desirable. The various possible causes OF
the condition must be investigated and removed or

Next the burden on the tissues concerned, as the
blood vessels, the heart, and the kidney must be
removed or lightened much as possible Then
everything should be done that can be done to I'M

be able to work more efficiently.
If every person would have his blood pressure
measured at fairly frequent intervals, it would be
possible to detect rises fairly early and thus to BRING
them more quickly under control.
BY careful study of the life of the person con-
cerned the doctor may get an idea to whether he
is likely to develop high blood pressure, or H a.

Thus it is known that the condition tends to run
in families. The fact that father, mother grand
father, or grandmother died from stroke may be
an indication for frequent study Of the blood pres

BECAUSE of the importance of rest in controlling

the habits of the individual as related to work Sleep

Areas of infection in the teeth and in the tonsils
should be cleaned up. Gradual Inflammation of the
kidneys may be going on for some time without
being noticed. Tendency Of the blood pressure IN
the individual to sudden fluctuations may be deter
mined by simple test which involve putting one
hand in ice water for minute, measuring the
blood pressure simultaneously in the other arm.
If the person with high blood pressure Is sur
rounded by people who regularly affect his blood
pressure badly 1t may be necessary for him TO be
removed to a rest cure a sanatorium resort, or

Salt in moderate amounts is permissible, but all
condiments and spices should be used most sparing-
ly as they may irritate the blood vessel system.
The usual amount or slightly more than the usual
amount of water is permitted in most cases. Coffee
and other stimuants should not be taken late in the
day but moderate amounts of tea coffee or tobacco
may be permitted to those who are used to them.

Southern Tyrol had been given
to Italy, but the German-speaking
population had kept up its agita-
ton for return to Austria and
elected four deputies to the Ital-
ian Parliament.
Turning to the German depu-
ties from the Tyrol, Mussolini
told them to go back and tell
those beyond Bremen Pass that
Italy was at the Bremen and
would remain there at all costs.
1t was prophetic foretaste Of
what his policy would be some

auspices of the government, So
CialiStS, trades unions, and Fas-
cists signed a truce to put a stop
to violence.
But some Fascist bodies rebelled
and Mussolini resigned from the
leadership. The net result was
great conference at Rome, where
they begged him to reconsider and
pledged themselves to follow him
as their Duce.
At the same time, Mussolini,
the former republican, took new
turning. He now wanted support
of the army. He knew many

In the middle of the piece, a
message was brought to him say
ing that the march on Rome had
begun. He mOtored to his news
paper office and awaited results.
The premier learned of the
marching legions and wanted to
proclaim martial law. The king
refused. He asked Salandra to
form a government with Musso-
lini in the cabinet. The latter
refused to join.
Oct. 90, with his legions at the
doors Of Rome, MusSolini received
telephone call saying the king
asked him to form a government.
The duce replied he would come
when he received a telegram of
confirmation,
ON the morning of Oct. 80 he
" was in Rome, heading the
cheers of his army, which had
occupied the city.
At Ills he stepped into the
Quirinal Palace and met the king
for the first time since they saw
each other in hospital during
the war.

out preamble, excuse my black

no effusion of blood. I am your

Fifty minutes later he emerged
as Prime Minister of his coun-

he announced: Within a few
hours you will no longer have a
