FASCISM’S SUCCESS.
ASCRIBED TO CASTOR OIL. MUSSOLINI DEFENDED. ROME, Oct. 13. The Turin Gazet del Popoio publishes a remarkable letter from Mr Bernard Shaw defending signor Mussolini against Socialist attacks. Mr Shaw says that he previously appealed for courtesy towards the foreign statesman who instituted a dictatorship in a great modern country without a single personal advantage. “I say that Fascism’s success is due to castor oil, which is infantile. If it is jo easy, why do not Communists establish a dictatorship ? They have plenty of castor oil. 1 consider that Signor Mussolini’s military prestige did for Italy after the war what Napoleon’s did for France at tho time of the directorate. If we compare Italy with Mazzini’s Utopia, it is full of abuses, but it is like America, France, England and Russia. To argue against Fascism by citing the assassination of Signor Matteotti is like citing the murder of Thomas A. Becket as an argument against Feudalism.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
