Mussolini Admits He is Whole Show in Fascism

EXILES A “HERD OF SHEEP.’’

ROME, Sept. 14,

Mussolini, in an important speech at the Palazzo Venetia, dealing with recent Cabinet changes, explained that the Fascist militia, police council and Hiate court of accounts remained under his control.

“Never before have I felt more strongly Fascism’s reality, by which the State is centred in one person, who is complete master. Some ‘idolaters’ call Italy a dictatorship. We acknowledge that it is a dictatorship, lying in the political, moral and intellectual force of the man who exercises it ami the objects at which he aims. That :s a fact and is a necessitv. ”

Hi* added that reports that tjje Fascist party was suppressing itself were grotesfjue and denounced attackers! who were accusing the Fascist, haulers ot dishonesty. On the contrary, they were di-servino- of all esteem. He declared that the Kalian exiles were drowning themselves in ridicule. “I have often asked myself whether an amnesty can be granted such a herd of sheep, afflicted with such mortifying stupidity, or the criminals responsible for bombing Italian women and children.’’ ho concluded.
