All that we ask is that they be proud of their ori- gin and so conduct themselves as to reflect nothing but credit upon the race from which they come.” Fascism Held Democracy. Among other things. T was anxious to secuce from Mussolini himself hi: ewn definition of Fascism. In my va- rieus interviews with men on both sides of the question, the many descriptions I obtamned ran all the way from an earthly paradise to a tyrani’s hell. It was almost impossible to secure a single definition which would meet with the aporoval of at least a dozen Fascisti “You want to know what Faseism is?" be said. T shall first tell you what Fascism is not. He leaned slightly forward and. in an Bnzglish which was strangely stilted but glear, explained: “Fascism is not pater #ay in your questionnaire tyranny. lism. as you It is not It is not aristocracy or plu- tocracy.

Fascism has given th: people what they want: a strong and efficient state. The movement of the | Black Shirts is a mass movement born | of the idealism and the faith of every living soul in Italy.” | Only Demagogy Before. He paused a minute, as if to collect his thoughts, and then, pointing to mv | n',;v.ebnck, asked me to take down thri‘ o “There was no democracy in Italy before Fascism. No, there was only demagogy. The people had no interest | #nd no stake in their government. They | wege tired of politics and politicians. | who placed their own personal interests | #bove the interssts of the country. But | now Fasciem has created a iunited | Italian democracy from Sicily to th: Alps, and every Italian is back of it.” Mussolini does not believe in t] ballot as a means of registering the will of peop! In fact he has never believed in it. In one of his speechss, in which he pointed out that of 11,000, 000 Italian voters, 6,000,000 never took the trouble to 'vote, he denounced “democratic, universal suffrage” as a lie.” In his opinion, public consent is & mafter of “hard work, discipline, and moral solidarity.” This “solidarity. he said. is proved by such acts of support | #s the recent visit of the 10,000 workers from Milan “who came to Rome to pay | homage to, and hear the word of. the leader of the Fascist revolution.” and by the fact that the “workers and | peasants of Italy. who are back of us in the battle for economic improvement, have accepted a cut in wages amounting $0 1.000.000 lire. The statement that the people are Back of the government raised the ques- tion of opposition. If it is true that Fascism has popular support, why is it that criticism is not tolerated? I ap- proached the subject diplomatically, but the Duce knew what was running through my mind. “It is not true that we do not tolerate eppesition,” he said, shaking his h=ad and pretending a certain surprise, “on e contrary we welco: t. We have plenty of it. We know we are not| infallible and we want to be corrected. | But what we do not want, what we will not tolerate, at any time, is opposition egainst the state.” Must Be Nothing Above the State. He pronounced the words “against the | Sfate” with determination in his eyes, I had touched on a delicate subject. “As I have often stated, there must | be nothing above the state, nothing out- side the state, nothing against ths state. Fascism does not tolerate a multitude of parties and cliques operating against | the common welfare. Apd it never will. | First Jet our enemies accept the Fascist | state as a reality and then the oppose us. There are two kinds of | opposition, opposition in good faith and opposition in bad faith. We welcome the former, but we have no room for the Jatter. We will not permit any one to destroy the work we have set out to <do. We must be free to realize the aims of the revolution.” Plausible as this may sound. it is only fair to point out that Fascism does not swallow opposition gracefull No one. st or anti-Fascist. dare oppose the will of the Duce. or stand out against the Fa tization of Ity ian life, with impunit; The answer to this condition is that Italy is in process of revolution and the revolu- tion must be defended. Hear Mussolini | on another occasion: | “All opposition newspapers have been | supressed. All anti-Fascist parties have | been brol up. We have created a| special police which is doing splendid work. We have organ: political in- vestigating bureaus. We have set up e special tribunal which is doing re- ably well. Opposition is hot neces- sary to the functioning of a sane politiral regime. Opposition is foolish, superfluous, in a totaliarian state such a3 the Fascist state. We have plenty of opposition within ourselves. There is opposition in the very problems we have to face. in the objective difficulties of life—and lif offers mountains of opposition eapable of breaking even stronger spirits than mine.” Promises to Abolish Special Tribunal. Opponents of the regime who violate the special laws for the defense of the state are tried by a military tribunal and confined to special islands. The number of prisoners on these islands is the subiect of much speculation. The chief of the Italian police told me that here are less than 600. Fascisti claim many thousands Mussolini about it and said “Yes. the anti-Fascisti have spoken of ihousands and tens of thonsands but it is pure propaganda.

He was deeply engrossed in his subiect. “The Fascist state.” he continued, “is a state of produces It rests on the fundamental principle that above the ! interests of classes and parties are the higher interests of the nation. Fascism is for co-operation and not strife, econ- omy and not waste. This is the century of co-operative enterprise and we are keeping up with the times.” Wont’ Discuss State Socialism. Maussolini discussed at length the cor- s outstanding contribution to | Tialy and the world. It is the Fascist idea that all the factors of production | must be { trolled by, the state. The incorporatio: of the ftrades unions and employers’ syndicates, the suppression of strikes and lockout, the creation of a labor court, the promulgation of a labor charter, and the establishment of a corporative parliament, the members of which will he chosen by the Fascist Grand Council from among the various syndicates of the country, are in keep- ing with this idea. The eorporative conception of society, in the judgment of many experts, is largely syndicalistic and socialistic. Many of its outstanding | features have been borrowed from Sorel | la’n? Marx, both former idols of Musso- ni. In discu this subject. I hinted at the possibi of state Socialism in | Italy—a possibility. which is in the minds of many Italians.

In Maryland construction work is now in progress providing for extension of Sixteenth street beyond the District line with a view to its connection with the Brookville road as the main radal leading directly to the north from the District Within the District the paving of Sixteenth street from Alaska avenue to Kalmia road is now in prog- ress as a link in this Sizteenth street artery. The portion from Kalmia road to the District line has been graded and the District Commissioners will probably ask for an appropriation to pave it when the next budget goes be- fore Congress in December. This is one of the best examples of co-operative effort for the extension of a main radial highway, with the State of Maryland building up to the District line at the | same time the District authorities are building up to their side of the line. Another example is with reference to Benning road. Condemnation pro- ceedings are in progress for widening this road to full width as shown on the highway plan. One of the most important Mary- land projects is to extend Massa- chusetts avenue, the only highway that cuts directly across the Distpict for 10 miles, beyond the District line to a connection with River road, thereby making a continuous artery.

Critics of Fascism. Strange as it may seem, and, of- | course, it is open to discussion, the fact remains that some of the bitterest critics of Fascism today are to be found in the ranks of the very business men who helped to finance the movement of the Black Shirts in its early days.

We Italians want peace. We want peace in order that we may be able to continue the great work we have undertaken. If we are prepar- ing for war it is only because we know that war is still a reality.

One of the most powerful figures in Italy today is Edmond Ros- | soni, the head of the Fascist trades un- | ions and a former soapbox orator on the East Side of New York. Rossoni speaks for a labor movement which is slowly but surely becoming the domin- | ant factor in the Italian situation. But, conceding that this is true, the fact remains that in its present stage Fascism is still a long way from social- | ism. Aside from its policy of class col- | laboration, which Marxian, Fascist government is strongly national- istic. Mussolini may not have abandoned | his early creed. but the one-time foe of the monarchy and the state, the blood and iron advocate of red revolutions and ‘bloody weeks,” has become an intense patriot, sold completely to the ideal of an Italy feared and respected through- out the world. At no time during the whole of the interview did he seem more cincere than when he spoke of Italy's place in the world. His eves sparkled, his voice quivered, his gestures were firm and impressive, “The moral and material greatness of the Fatherland”—here is his favorite phrase, which he repeats again and| again in all his speeches, interviews and | articles. He is an ardent advocate of a | self-respecting, self-asserting nation de- | | termined to have justice in the world It is thic conviction which explains his | Kaiserlike utterances and the applau: with which the utterances are received | by the Italian ses, i Mussolini believes that Italy's prob- {lem of expansion will have to be solved soon.
