Fascism Now Faces Enemy More Dangerous Than Negus
Rome, May 24.
Cessation of military activities in East Africa and dethronement of Haile Selassie signals this inauguration of another tedious Fascist march "on the path of revolution.".
In this advance there will be no recourse to bayonets or hand grenndes. No banners will be flying. Shouts of soldiers locked in hand-to- hand struggles will be absent. For it will com- prise an attack NOT against communities pro- tected by anti-aerial guns and heavy artillery, but against Fascism'è hated enemics-capitalism and Communism.

KING TO SIT FOR HIS PORTRAIT
FOR COIN & MEDALS
For the first time since he was Prince of Wales the King is to sit for his portrait to designers ap- pointed by the Royal Mint. The sittings will take place at Backing- ham Palace.
The new design will appear on the coins, which are not expected to be issued for some time, and on the medals and the medallions of Orders to be conferred by the King in his first Birthday Honours list in June.
Work will ocmmence Immediately on the medals, but it may be some time before they are finished, as a great deal of work is done on them. The duto has not yet been fixed for the investitures at which the King will confer the decorations.
A WORLD DEMOLISHED
"The Chamber of Deputies presup poses a world we have demolished," snid 1 Duce; it presupposes the plurality of parties and not in- frequently the hold-up of the minis- terial diligener Siner the day on which we annulled this plurality, the Chamber has lost the essential reason for which it was formed. We are harging economie liberalism, we are taking a further step forward on the j path of revolution."
DISSOLUTION OF CHAMBER Dissolution of the Chamber and its replacement by a completely corpor alive body, believes Mussolini, will facilitate expansion and perfection of the Corporative system.
What the "Corporativisan" ultim- ately may lead to in its attempt to solve the problems of distribution of wealth, even high Faseist authorities hesitate to predict. The known standpoint of Mussolini, however, is that the problem is there to be solved and the corporative system must be perfected to solve it.
EXPLOITING ETHIOPIA
While the colonial office is busy planning the exploitation of conquered Ethiopia, the Fascist Corporations, given increased power, will maintain careful control of economie entopor- jes.

In line with the programme of plac- ing Italy on an impregnable footing, major industries which are wor working directly or indirectly for the defence of the nation and whose capital is now held by share holders, will
