 comes Sure Reality
By STEWART BROWN

Then the representatives of the cor porations, delegates of workers and employers in industry. agriculture. credit, commerce, the professions and the arts, will legislate for the country as experts.
 As start, Mussolini said, the new chamber woul dinclude representa- tives of g corporations. Mussolini made his speech on the raised plat form of the great hall of Julius Caesar, with the fascist emblem and Roman flags beside him. The fascist grand council, the little group that controls the countrys destinies, will decide details of the new fascist cor porative chamber, Mussolini said. Announcing the naturalization of essential defense industries, Musso- lini said that they would be con- trolled either directly or indirectly
