Woof! her | know } You and Your: Nation’s Affairs Dictatorships By ERNEST MINOR PATTERSON President, American PRT The way of the dictator is hard. In 1922 Mussolini and his Fascists marched, on Rome. Nearly fourteen years’have passed and it is now pos- sible to under- stand better what has hap- pened and to consider what it means to the rest of the world. Two new de- velopments have recently occurred. Only a few days ago Mussolini an- nounced the abolition of the Chamber of Deputies, the Italian Con- gress or Parliament, and the substi- tution of a National Assembly of in- dustrial representatives. This change is for the present largely formal since the old Chamber had for years been | merely the tool of the dictator. i | } } Francisco sidewalk, Coro- 3 over and eval fit tonight and Saturday; . not much change in temperature; } Returning, | eentle to, moderate winds, mostly d his “corpse” gone, and bystand-/ easterly? © 32> \ | | ; Little Los Angeles | New The other change is far more sig- nificant. The bulk of the large indus- tries of the country have been taken over by the government. Some ob- servers at once say this is a change to out and out socialism—that Italy is accepting and applying the ideas of Karl Marx, and that capitalism in Iial- is at an end. As usual the real significance of such a change is not entirely clear. It av be like many other changes— ely on paper—with ‘very slight effects on the real operation and con- trol of economic affairs. On the other hand, it may easily indicate that from now on public ownership and operation of the means of production will be the usual and accepted way of running business in Italy, Although we cannot now be quite sure about future tendencies, two things are quite clear. Italian eco- nomic life is under very heavy strain. For fully « year it has been difficult for Italians to make purchases abroad. Academy of Political and Social Science ii bere ete sh Long before sanctions were talked of seriously, British exporters of co: and textiles were protesting that fore new shipments. could. be. made. This was extremely serious. Italians found it hard to meet such terms and last fall the strain increased whi the British and others imposed sha‘ restrictions on_ the Italian goods. Gold was exported in large amounts. The legal reserve re- quirements of the Bank of Italy were suspended and in October further publication of financial informat was stopped. For about six mont! no one except public officials of Italy has known even the most basic facts Conditions are presumably very bad. Realization is growing that a dicta- tor never can find a place to stop e: tending his controls. One step leads to another. Of course he must alwa be seeking public support by spe tacular speeches and new moves that will bring popular approval. But he also finds that every economic con- trol he undertakes leads to another. There is no logical, convenient or even possible limit to his extension of power: Also, being human, he makes mistakes and since he is hu- man he tries to correct them and the mistakes accumulate. Nothing has yet occurred in Italy to indicate that either the dictator or his advisers are in any sense all-wise. We may soon find that they are not all-powerful. Elsewhere, similar difficulties have developed. In other countries, includ: ing the United States, there are ex- tensions of government control. Some of them are probably permanent and some are meeting with popular ap- proval. Very likely some will be per- manent. One danger lies in too rspid an increase in too short a period of time. We shall do well in eur own country to slow down. Some.changes have been extremely unwise. A more gradual and more thoughtful devel- opment will mean fewer’ mistakes and in the end give us more real progress.
