MORGAN, Rome Manager of the United Press Copyright 1927 by United Press Associations. All rights reserved. (This is the fourth series of ar- ticles on his daily life and work by Lenito Mussolini, as told to Thomas B. Morgan, Rome manager of the United Press. Fach article in this scrfés has been personally revised corrected and approved by Premier Mussolini.) Government,jto be good, must be efficient. It must achieve the great- st net result with the minimum of lost effort. If there be wastage of labor, duplication, overlapping or lack of coordination then there are crious defects in the government machinery. There must be unity of policy, unity of responsibility and unity of direction. Without these, government becomes a slip-shod, 1phazard, hit-or-miss business, able to continue only because it can de- mand tribute from the entire nation. A private business must be effici- «nt or die. It has no reserve on which to call unless it has created that reserve itself. It must sustain itself by its own merits. Its man- \ger must avoid wastage, duplica- tion, overlapping and must coordi- nate all the parts ot his organization in a smooth-running machine. He is responsible and held to strict ac- count for its success. He directs it with a single aim and single policy, his policy. The United States presents to the | world numerous examples of gigan- | tic successful business organizations, | which to arrive at thelr great| achievements must have been gov- crned by these principles. There was s direction, pollcy and responsibil- center 4 in one man, on whom | he whole operation of the immense organization depended. The giant steel, oll, coper, transportation and other industries were developed un- der these geniuses, who in their way, veritable dictators, whose words were law throughout their respective realms, They created smooth-running organizations of hu- man units finally reaching a degree of efficiency which has been the marvel of the world. Lauds City Manager Plan American municipalities are rec- ognizing the need of centralization administrative powers and of the fixing of responsibility in their \doption of the “city manager” plan. 1t would seem that they are disre- ding the worn-out system of po- litical affiliations and of shirking of fesponsibility and substituting it by the appontment of a capable, ex- pert and responsible officer. Thus, many of them have even adopted 1ho idea of “podesta’ that is, the in- stitution of a responsible municipal officer managing the community, long before Fascism installed it for the administration of our towns and citi It is the only logical and practical way of securing f'fl'i(‘i(‘n.(‘,\'. inguring rapid decision and action and of laying one’s finger upon the particular man, guilty of nf‘g]v’:c(!ng or deserving of praise for promoting those things deemed for {he welfare and progress the municipality. 1t is just such business (-fl'l?h“nc}' on a larger scale, we have 'ru‘d‘tfl_ work into the government mz\cl\ln.c of Italy. We are suceeding. We have practically rebuilt the old ma- vhine, substituting a part here and there and renewing it. It has been completely overhauled and spceded up and has already shown its pro- Juctive power.

At two, I take a light lunch and am then at my desk at the Chigl were essential of Foreign Affairs, where I remain un- 7l ten in the evening on the con- stant go save for taking a glass of milk at my desk at six. The work is that of directing Italian foreign relations, of examining and answer- ing correspondence, recelving am- bassadors and ministers, and hold- ing numerous imperative confer- cnces and audiences. When the chamber of deputies and senate are in session, my at- tendance at ohe or the other is dove- tailed into the schedule. Cabinet meetings too must find a place in the day’'s limited hours. I attend] the chamber and senate ready to take up qdestions which might be introducted on the conduct of the government and to keep the depu- ties and senators informed on the policy of the administration. My colleagues in the cabinet and the under-secretaries of state know that the government business must be handled with enthuslasm and | promptitude. Our work must be ex- tensive and productive. They know my requirements in this regard. They know that they cannot ap- proach me unless their mission s one of government busin There is no time to joke. Everything must be to the point and must be worth dlscussing. Each usually has his business well-defined and ‘when he sees me, need stay but few minutes.

Ministers of a professional type are ugeless as administrators. They take so much time for decision that the whole, business of their de- partment is delayed. This cannot be tolerated in any branch of my gov- ernment. Ministers, before we came into power, deliberated and vacil- lated for years before putting into operation. We have created an ap- titude for quick decision in our pub- lic affairs which coupled with our intensive effort has achieved things not dreamed or before our advent to power. ‘We have settled our debts with England and America, stiffened Italian finance, strengthened the lira and now have consolidated the public debt by the laundaing of the Lictoral loan. For our sea com- merce, we built the “Roma,” the biggest ship in the Mediterranean service and will build two new lin- ers, “Rex” and “Dux”, the fastest in the world, forty knots an hour, taking only four to five days.from | Italy to New York and seven to| Buenos Aires. Fascism’s Achievements Fascism constructed in two years the RomceOstia electric line, a pro- ject planned for twenty years, de- signed to give the people of Rome access to their éwn seashore. Fas- cism constructed the Apulia aque- | duct to supply forty communes with an aggregate population of 3,000,000 | with water; is building the longest | ence and Bologna,—fifteen miles | long—, is completing the Rome to Naples direct line to reduce the run- ning time by one half and undertak- | ing numerous projects to be brought | to successful consummation under | fascist inltiative and drive. | I came into office a young man, | thirty-nine, the youngest premier Ttaly ever had. I arrived with the force of youth. It was natural for' Reproduction in whole or in part prohibited me to be able to undertake greater burdens than the ministers of the old regimes. They could not stand the intense physical strsin,—they were sixty, seventy and sometimes cighty years of age. The combined ages of the men in my cabinet to- tal slightly over two hundred, while | in one of the cabinets of Signor Glo- litti, the total years of the ministers reached eleven hundred. American presidents, alas, suffer greatly from the strain of office. Roosevelt, however, during his in- cumbency stood it well and came out of office a very strong man, for he was young. He was, too, a be- liever in a disciplined life and so am 1. He was a wielder of the stick,” which is a fascist trait. He also was & man of quick decision and rapid execution. He was an un- tiring worker, too,—a great admin- istrator. He was truly one of those who stood out in bold rellef in his generation and cast his influence upon the entire world. My collaborators are all young men. I have three under-secretaries of state, who have hardly passed | thirty. There is a great advantage in youth. It is filled with enthusiasm to achieve. It may be argued that it | lacks experience but it more than | compensates in its intensity of spirit. It will attempt the impossible and | often it will succeed. Youth and the dominating spirit of with fixed responsibilities and policy | tunnel in the world between Flor- | ave been of marked assistance to me, achieving what was never dreamed of under the old system of political party affiliations. At one of the palaces where he | does his daily work, Premier Musso- lini has given orders that no wo- | man shall be admitted to his pres- | ence. He tells why in tomorrow's article in the Herald. He also tell of the many extra-officlo duties at- tendant upon his position.

CHAPLIN SUING FOR $500,000 Claims Pictoral Review Story Not True The Almanac New York, Jan. 8 (F—A series of articles written for the Pictorial Review by Jim Tully and advertised as containing a “real life story” of Charles Chaplin, the screen come- dian, forms the L damage suit brought by Mr, Chaplin against the Pictorial Review com- pany. Mr. Chaplin complains that the articles, the first of which appears in the January number, contain many statements that arce false and tend to bring him into disrepute and subject him to scorn, and that hig name and likeness were publish- ed for advertising purposes without his consent. The plaintiff also asks an injunc- | tion to prevent publigation of fur- ther articles in the series. Arthur W. Kelly, Mr. Chaplin’s eastern representative, says in the complaint that Mr. Tully, one time tramp and pugilist and now an au- thor, arrived in Hollywood some years ago “in very straitencd cir- cumstances” and that, on the soli- citation of a mutual frlend, Mr. Chaplin gave him work in his stu- dio. It is said that Mr. Tully do- scribed himself at the time as scavenger of literature.” “he complaint states that Oct. 16 last Mr, Tully \ wrote Mr. Chaplin that he had written a series of articles about him “in a sym- pathetic mannet which he hop would serve as‘'a model for anyone | who might ever Write about himsclf, Tully. Mr. Chaplin through his attorney, Nathan Burkan, describes himself as a citizen of Great Britain, a resi- dent of Los Angeles and a motion icture actor, author and producer ith an established reputation.” Tully, in Los Angeles, decla the material for the articles gathered by him during the 18 months he was associated with Chaplin as a member of his produc- tio staff. He sald while he had not seen the comedian for the last year he had only the friendliest feelin, for him. . He asserted he took the position with Chaplin with the serles of arti- cles in view, and that throughout the time he was employed there he took copious notes. “I'm sure that my articles are correct,” he sald. *I've had this story in mind for a long time Be- cause I've been intrigued by Chap- lin's character,” ed was “big | oneness | s of a $500,000 | on | ‘G0-ED’ SHARTER DRIVER THAN MALE “Female of Species” I Called| Better Insurance Risk Washington, Jan. 8.—The college co-ed may be addicted to many of the late modes disapproved by the | “older generation”, but when it comes to the driving of an automo- | bile, she is an infinitely better risk | than her brother. This is onc of the arresting dis. closures forthcoming as a result of a questionnaire addressed by the American Automobile Association to 125 underwriting companies of America. Practically all the insurance com- panies that have had experience in underwriting college students agree that the “female of the epecies” is a much safer risk than the ‘“‘mere She doesn't take nearly as chances and even “in the she appears to handle the car with better judgment than her strong-armed brother. She d better, also, when it comes to avoid ing emergencies. In fine, she is neither so reckless nor so careless | as the boy and, as a result, she i not caught in anything like as many damaging situations. Male Is Reckless But what about the brother of Miss Co-ed: Well, the question- naire clearly shows him to be un- questionably possessed of a high content of recklessness in his com- plex. He is often very reckless; he { is often a very bad risk and in many cases the insurance companies shy clear of him entirely. However, they believe that if they are com- pelled to insure him at random, as they would be under a compulsory liability insurance law, he would prove a drain on their treasuries. Under compulsory insurance, of course, the companies could mot side-step bad risks, as a blanket coverage would destroy the time- honored right to select risk “The A. A. A. i forred specifically to the attitude of insurance companies towards college students as driving ri The re- plies were somewhat startling. Of the 125 queried 59 maintained silence, but 66 answered, most of hem with considerable warmth. Fifty of the 66 companies side-step insuring college students if it is at all possible. Three never had any experience with the campus, and 13 are willing to write policies for stu- dents, but most of these admit they always look very carefully into the | history, prospeets, ganglions, re- flexes, and other equipment of col- loge youth, Most of the compulsory insurance plans, which are now up for legis- lative consideration in appproxi- mately “40 states, provide that the insurance companies must insure any person permitted by the state to drive an automobile. If persons of the high type of college students are bad risks, it is obvious that there must be many more who are worse. Thus the percentage of loss might become so great that many insur- { ance companies probably would have to withdraw from the automotive field. College Student “Bad Risk” In discussing the college student, virtually every reply uses the phrases “bad risk” and “irre- sponsible.” The companies all ad- mit that his youth, his healthy co- ordination of thought and muscle ehould make him a better driver mechanically than his father or older brother; but they assert that this mechanical superiority is set at naught by a lack of judgment. He gets pleasant little chills running up and down his spinal column hen he “takes a chance.” And not only does he appear quite willing to take chances, but seems even cager for them. In a word, he is more than mildy adventurous. He is, the companies point out,| quite a nice young man, but away from home and parental restraint. His exuberance is quite likely to lead | him into an ambulance. Ho keeps quite cool and collected when Schopenhauer, Aristotle or Joseph Conrad is mentioned, but when somebody says “step on it!" he de-| | velops spasmodic jerks in his ac-| celerator toe. Not one of the companies reply- s of the leading insurance and | | ing to the A. A. A. questionnaire in- sures automobile drivers of less than 16 years of age, and most of them | will n go under 18. f\lorflf)\l‘r,‘ they hesitate to insure family cars | where the children are permitted to | drive often, or without close super- | vision of their eldere. | Invariably the reply to the ques- | tionnaire contained an graph commenting unfavo: compulsory automobile liability surance. Every company declared | that its own experience had m‘n\'on‘ that compulsory insurance would | prove a_detriment to safety and | careful driving; that it would actu- ally breed carelessness and reck- | lessness; and that the nation's bill | for compulsory insurance would run | so high, and hecome so great a drain | on everybody concerned, that a ma- terial inroad into the natienal pocketbook would be inevitable, Famous Goldenrod I Flag | Retires From Army Life | Frankfort, Ky, Jan.
