ITALY’S POPULATION
INFLUX TO THE TOWNS ACTION PROPOSED BY MUSSOLINI ' (Australian Press Association.). (Rec. November 23, 11.15 p.m.)' ......... Rome, November 23. Signor Mussolini has pointed out that during the half-year ending June the natural increase in the urban population in Italy was only 12,000, whereas in eight towns alone the increase by the rural influx totalled 68,621. He declares that within eighteen months he intends to clear out the surplus immigrants from the country who had not found work in the towns and prevent any more leaving the country. He adds: “Italy is spending more than she can afford in bricks and mortar in the towns. The money would be better spent in reclaiming waste lands and rebuilding decayed cottages.”
