ROTARY LUNCHEON.

TALK ON MUSSOLINI.

Among the guests at the Rotory Club luncheon this afternoon, in the Concert' Chamber of the Town Hall, was his Worihip the Mayor of Auckland (Mr. George Bailclon), who had been invited to meet and welcome the Young Australia League members who are through passengers on the Aorangi, returning to Australia after a tour of the United States and Canada. The usual routine was reversed to-day, as the Aorangi was late, and speeches came before the lunch, but even then the lads had not arrived.

The speaker for the day was Mr. Alexander Mai'ky, of Hollywood, who spoke on " Mussolinr, Enigma of the Century." However much of an enigma the prominent Italian may be, Mr. Marky left no doubt as to his feelings. He told the lunchers 'how Mussolini, in twenty-four hours, had made his famous coup, seized the reins of power, and out of chaose had brought Italy to t.h<; forefront in world affairs. Mussolinc was one of the greatest figures for all time.
