VIEWS ON FASCISM.

AN ITALIAN VISITOR. PRAISE FOR MUSSOLINI. AUCKLAND, July 19. “There is no such thing as tyranny in Italy—Signor Mussolini is the greatest man the world has known for a generation. I can assure you that in a few years we shall all be Fascisti.” So said Brigadiergeneral Camillo Yunnelli, of the Italiaij. Army, who arrived at Auckland to-day by the Marama. General Yannelli is on a visit to his son Giorgia, a youth of 19, who is learning fanning at Lotting, near Hick’s Bay, on the east coast of the North Island. General Yannelli is still on the active list of the Italian military power. He was on active service throughout the war, being in command of the Ussari di Piaccnson, a regular cavalry regiment, which accomplished notably good work. “There is no attempt at dictation in the army,” said he, “nearly everybody in Italy has come to realise that Signor Mussolini saved the country at the time of the crisis. He brought order out of chaos and, when the verdict of history is giv-en, I think it will be realised that he was a great man in the truest sense of the term. I have nothing but admiration for British institutions, . but I think Signor Mussolini has established one in Italy which is worthy to rank .with the best.”
