[BY COMMENDATORE LUIGI VILLABI.)
The origins of Fascism must be sought. in Syndicalism, or Left-wing Socialism, which arose before the war as a protest against the petit-bourgeois character of the Socialist party, directorate, and Signor Mussolini, who was the leader of the Syndicalists, has never forgotten his interest in the welfare of the working masses. But the diference between his Labour policy and that of the Socialists is that, whereas the latter regarded Labour as divorced from the nation as a whole and hostile to all other classes within the nation, and allied to the work ing classes of other countries, Mussolini regards it as an integral part of the nation, and its interests as closely bound up with those of all the other classes. Fascism and this is perhaps its chief merit has weaned the working classes from the anti-national, anti-patriotic policy of Socialism and made of them a

STATE SUPERVISION.
Legally recognised syndicates are under" the supervision of the State, which is exercised in various ways, largely under the provisions of the old communal and provincial law; in certain circumstances the board of a syndicate acting illegally or improperly may be dissolved, while in Contracts between employers and work- graver cases recognition may be revoked.

It is objected that it would not be possible to punish a large body of strikers, but the severe penalties imposed on the organisers should in most cases Act as a deterrent influence, while it is hoped that, once the law is in operation and the public gets accustomed to it and realises its advantages, there will be even less inducement to break it.
