FASCIST ITALY.
“LOVED AND FEARED.”
SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY
SPEECH BY MUSSOLINI'.
ROME, March 28
Italy celebrated the seventh anniversary of Fascism to-day. The Premier, Signor Mussolini, sent a message to the people recalling that after seven years tho situation had cleared and that opposition had been dispersed. He urged the “Black Shirts” to renewed endeavours for national consolidation with the watchword “discipline 0 ’ continuing unchanging. From early morning Fascists paraded the streets with ensigns and bands. Trains and public buildings were decorated with pictures of Signor Mussolini everywhere. “Fascist Italy is both loved and feared abroad, but I do not attach importance to what foreigners think or write,” said Mussolini, addressing his troops. “It is natural that plutocracy, Liberalism, Freemasonry and Democracy should combine against Fascism, but antagonistic forces must copy Fascism or die. Foreigners must end their gossipy parliamentarism and give their executive greater power to regulate labour and capital as Fascists have done.”—Times.
