The work accomplished by Signor Mussolini construction is everywhere in evidence, not only in the country districts and Tuscany and the Romagna, but also in the hitherto backward regions of Sicily and the Mez; zogiorno, where the most striking advances are being made in sanitation, irrigation, and agricultural methods. CAME TO RESCUE ' The transformations effected in the political and moral spheres have been no less striking, though their real significance is far more difficult to estimate. Fascism arose as a counter-revolutionary movement opposed to the Communist anarchy which, after the conclusion of the war, was ITALY HAS ANEW ERA Entry of Fascism Put New Life Into People and Brought Prosperity ROME.' Dec. 14: That Italy duN ing the last Seven years has made enormous strides in nor material development must be obvious to the most superficial observer. By sea and by land, in the moun-i tains or upon the rivers, In the' cities and in the fields, great en- terprlses have been resolutely undertaken. The mercantile mar-l ine has been encouraged, with a! result to which the shipping sta-, tisties bear ample witness; and a; passion tor the sea, that "sourc of health and of life," has been! deliberately encouraged in the: people. Imposing monuments and; town-planning schemes have embellished Italian cities. Afforestation Is covering with trees the j bare mountain -side The lamen-, table state of many f the roads is slowly , being . improved, . and 1 1 I 1 M tpeciai roaas rcservea ior motorcars "have been constructed. The railways, once a byword for dirt and unpunctuality. are run with during the past seven years has compelled the reluctant ad efficiency, a network of air lines miration even of those who have displayed the greatest antipathy towards his methods. The whole face of Italy has been transformed under the influence of Fascist enterprise. Now roads, new railways, now public buildings, new streets and suburbs forming whole townships, meet the eye of the traveller on every side. . Nor are these signs of material achievement confined merely to the great industrial centres of the North and to .Rome itself, the Eter covers an Italy where, only a few years ago, civil aviation was at a low ebb. The roost far-reaching undertaking Is the great scheme of land reclamation.

It was successful because it represented a really idt 2ff.oooPxiiuintai6 in the na- yitai national need which was urgently lelt by the vast majority of Italian citizens. Signor Mussolini saw clearly that order and discipline were the two things which above all others were necessary to the Italian people; and with indomitable energy he set out to establish them under the aegis of his own absolute'dominatiori. Having made himself complete master of the machinery of government, he deliberately destroyed all those organs by which non-Fascist opinion can become articulate. But it is clear that in doing so he has not contented himself with the role of a destroyer. During the past few years his internal uolicy, however difficult it may be to interpret its exact significance, has clearly been directed towards a single im the .-construction of a political machine which not only will outlive its author but will also secure the permanent domination of the Fascist Party and its ideals. FLIES IN OINTMENT The Duce has certainly succeeded in awakening in the minds of the Italian people a new national consciousness. But this success has only been possible because for the moment the ideals of the Fascist Party have been a genuine expression of the popular will. In the Jong run Fascism can only survive if it continues to satisfy the political and social needs of the strongest section of public opinion. As soon as it fails to do this it must either perish through internal disruption or be destroyed by some form of violent revolution. By suppressing all criticism and permanently depriving the Opposition of all legitimate methods of expressing minority opinion the Duce appears to have deprived his own party of the only means of judging its own conformity with the popular will and measuring the forces which it is attempting to control. Not content with sitting on the safety valve, he has removed the pressure gauges as well. There lies the danger. Apart from the shadow of popular election in the constitution of the hew Chamber, which only deliberates but does not legislate, the whole of his internal policy seems based upon the complete suppression of any articulate expression of any form of public opinion other than that of the Fiscist Party. Such a Constitution may work well for a while, so long as the government clique is sufficiently intelligent to rule, like the Platonic guardians, in the interests of the whole. But modern history has yet to ?hov the oligarchy which has succeeded for any length of time in living up to that example. Meanwhile the world will watch with interest the gigantic and original political experiment tb which Fascist Italy is committed.

Nor is land reclama tion alone involved. Provision has been made for works of Irrigation, for the construction of rural boroughs, for the building of aqueducts of drinking water, for the construction of roads between farm and farm, and for the laying of electric lines. All these undertakings are giving daily work to tens of thousands of laborers, and will eventually! provide a nveunood :or nundreds of thousands of peasants. Property In Trust It has been reckoned that, when tionar- pfoonetlon of cereals, as Lwll. as-, a Jare increase in every rorciqi lagricjMorai product, sucn anSincrJaseVMl realized, .shbuld re lieve the Italian budget of the heavy burden imposed upon it each year by the import of foreign foodstuffs. Hitherto a weakness of the Italian Industrial system has been the small demand for maunfacturers in the populous but poor districts. If the prosperity ' of these masses could b assured by; 'scientifically controlled Internal migration and by the development of agriculture in an its Branches, the home market wyuld J lie j much increased in value and Hie economic gain to the country as a whole would be correspondingly great. The whole scheme is an excellent Illustration of Fascist theory and practice. For 'andlords have been made to understand that they hold their property in trust for the general welfare of the nation. This reawakened patriotism, as might have been expected, has been accompanied by some exaggerated manifestations. Signor Mussolini himself has given offence more than once by the blustering tone of his utterances. Unfortunately, it has only too often been the more histrionic and sensational passages of his speeches which have been telegraphed abroad or have been re-echoed in yet more perfervld terms by hi? extremist partisans at home. One should not take too tragically $igror Marincttl's futuristic statement that every Italian is worth any 10 foreigners whatever. The exact, sciences are not an lndls-uenslble qualification for membership of the Itc'ian Academy. wnen one recollect that for many years the Italians had been suffering badly from an "Infer iority complex'" and that Italy's claims to be treated as a Great Power had been admitted in some quarters witn a condescension more galling perhaps than a downright refusal would have Deen; when, moreover, due allow ance is made for the Southern temperament and for the Italian iove oi adjectives in the superlative. It becomes questionable whether Signor Mussolini has been so desperate a swashbuckler as he is often thought to be. Italy needed to be pulled together with a strong hand. Neith er uoisnevisi propaganda nor aoice rar wente" could be com-batted by academic discourse of sweet reasonableness. But thl? tub-thumping la not the only manifestation of the revived Italian sense of nationality and power. The best and more thoughtful Fascists have been insistent in preaching and practising the-old heroic virtue of dls-cipllrieiduly, and safcrjfjee. and in so asl as tthey ' MaVe Succeeded thry have created a more, virile and better ordered Italy! Rights of Man While Fascism has been busy creating an Italy new from the material and moral standpoints, it has Itsell undergone, and Is still undergoing, profound developments. It is unnecessary to recapitulate all the measures whereby the Fascist State has been built up and safeguarded.
