ROME—THE BEAUTIFUL
MUSSOLINI’S DETERMINATION. UGLY CONSTRUCTIONS TO GO. LONDON, January 2. Signor Mussolini, in a speech at the Inauguration of Senator Cremonies as first Governor of Rome, said that the senator commanded a Rome as vast, well ordered and powerful as In the days of the first Empire. “It must again become the world’s wonder-city,” he said. “My ideas are clear, my orders precise.
