This is the fourth article in @ series tfl(fla with b X arm':u' faure ourrsanneres : BY HIRAM K. MODEBWEDL Special Corrgepondenge: s The Star wnd the : ROME, Italy, June 5.—"Is Mussolini sincere patriot or only an egotist?"’ one of the questions most frequent- asked about the Italian dictator. L cannot be answered If you insist on llu.klns the two contradictory. There *no reason to suppose that Musso- m does not sincerely love his coun- #ry. There is also no reason to sup- &ofi that he does not enjoy exercising @ vast power which he wields. But there is, further, no reason why he should not do the one while' doing the ether. Certainly, he is no grafter. He ncerely despises money. He is to- , outside of his salary ($400 a onth) and his expense allowance, a joor man. : This contempt for mongy often goes )llh genius. The genius is so in- tensely occupied with his chosen work at he has no time to think of money, uch less to spend it. If genius is an infinite capacity for detail, Mussolini # a genius. ' Directs Six Portfolios. Besides the large nurhbers of #peeches which he must make, corner stones which he must dedicate, inter- views which he must grant, trips which he must undertake and dinners which he must attend, he is re: 8- e for six ministries.in the cabinet, including the adjustment of all wage les and labor disputes, and must in order his very obstreperous party of 600,000 excitable Joung men. To do all this he must elther handle the detalls himself or find the man he can trust to do it. 3 Perhaps the core of Mussolini’s character is physical. His vital dynamo s so much more horsepower an that of ordinary men that work 18 a necessity to him as food is to ost. While he was convalescing from s intestinal ulcer, and living on ik and mush he was taking on one 'w ministry after another. Now he sbmetimes works intensely through e whole night and appears fresh at s desk in the morning. How is it ble to distinguish.whether this st expenditure of energy is for “self- i8h” or for “patriotic” purposes? » 3 | Absolutism Supreme. } Whether Mussolini is a genius, in the senee of a profound innovator, fu- thre generations will decide.
