DIFFERS FROM BRITAIN.
(CmiTtß FMM ASSOOU-floH.—COttM***;)
"(AUStAALUN-NiW ZfcALAND OAM,^ ASJOOMTIOM,) LONDON, 2nd February. The "Daily Telegraph", features a lengthy and exclusive interview with Mussolini in which the Italian Premier ridicules the idea of a reign of terror or suppression of the Press in Italy. The answer to the latter charge, he says, is that-the Opposition journals are able to make a daily outcry that Italy is a country without liberty.
The Fascist duce sheds light on hie policy towards Freemasonry, -which ■ he declares, will be permitted to carry* out its legitimate activities oriels its lists of members and statutes of Rovernance are disclosed to the authorities. "Anyono wishing to engage in politics must dp so openly and publicly, add 3 Mussolini. "Of course, Freemasonry in Italy is greatly different from that in England, where I once visited a lodge."
