Fascismo Intended to Favor . No Single Class, But Every One Workers Have Equal Chance With Em- ployers Under His System, Mussolini Claims. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. By Cable to The Star. ROME, August 1.—Just what is fas- Many an American here finds self as much perplexed by the im- plications of it as his countrymen, 3,000 miles away. For the Italian fascismo is 4 com- bination of economic doctrine, applied by political and even military force, while fascismo itself is a kind of theory of government, one phase of which looks to the regulation of big @nd little business, capital and labor, not unlike many suggestions put forth in America all the way from the industrial court to the United es Railway Labor Board and compulsory arbitration tribunals. In America many statesmen have wished to make capital and lubor get together in the public interest. but Public opinion alone has been relied upon to force peace. Over here Pre- mier Mussolini has used the “strong arm.” und certainly has brought about # change in the atmosphere. No long- er is Italy overrun by communists and reds, with an impotent govern- ment at Rome looking on, without corrective action. Would Not Go Here. Opinions may differ as to whether fascismo would be & good or bad thing for America, but the method used by Mussolini “march to get power. namely a on Rome™ with the legion of war veterans behind him, would hard- 1y apply in the United States. Examples of fascist practice are so interwoven with the exercise of gov- ernmental power that an analogy with American experience is difficult to give. But let us take the steel business.

Frequently the govern- ment has forced landowners to in- crease the wages of labor on_ the farms, and, through the fascist labor organizations, has even decided upon the number of men that must he em- ployed by the individual landowner. ‘Al this has had a stimulating effect on industry as a whole, but has left a certain amount of rancor, which may be some day the basis for a political counter-attack against the fascisti, though at the moment there is no or- ganized opposition worth mentioning. It is a mistake, however, to sup- posc that the fascisti theories have been dofinitely apnlied, for funda- mentally faseism is not a_scientific doctrine but_a feeling of intense patriotism which will stop at noth- ing to achieve its end.

Property Taken Only Small Part of Institution’s Great Wealth. Louis Fischer in Current History. The confiscation in Russ'a of church treasures by the state for the benefit of the famine sufferers, de- creal in the spring of 1922, was not admitted to be a direct anti- religious auct. The soviets at the time needed gold and silver where- with to cover at least their minimum participation in the feeding of the starving and the church representa- tive was rare who raised his volce against the action. In faoct, some clereymen of more liberal trend of mind reganled the sequestration of church treasures, as well as the na- tionallzation of church real estate, as likely to have a most salutary effect on the church, whose inner rottenness was due in a _great meas- ure to its riches. The official bureau of statistics states that the sale worth of the valuables taken from the church amounted to approxi- mately $5,000000. It is possible. therefere. that the Russian churches, monasteries and synagogues may still be in po fon of the greatgr part of the movable wealth that was in thelr hands during the czarist re- gime.
