“A LIVING SPIRIT”
FASCISM IN ITALY MUSSOLINI’S CLAIM AN EPOCH IN HISTORY (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.40 p.m.) London, October 27. Mussolini in an article in the Daily Telegraph on ten years’ Fascism says that the regime is not satisfied with the mere making of laws, but has a deeper responsibility. It has permeated the life of the people and created an epoch in Italian history whose influence will be felt by succeeding generations, but if he wanted to make a moral budget, it would be sufficient to point to the increase in wheat production by 75,151,000 quintals, thus raising the yield from four to six quintals per acre. “We could say we made Italy almost independent of foreign wheat. We could enumerate vast public works and great reforms. We have no strikes but have a producing industrious working class. There is not a single state in the whole world which can point to equal achievement. In all of the state’s activities Fascism is destined to live and it is a living spirit, like the spirit of Cromwell.”
