Italy's New Economic Plan Outlined
By Mussolini
Rome, Nov. 2.
Italy's economie plans to be realized) within the immediate future were laid down by Signor Mussolini to- night when he spoke at the annunt meeting of the Supreme Council for National Economics Self-Support. The programme consists of five points.
(3) For the realization of econo- mie self-support the Italian home- land and the Italian Empire must constitute an inseparable unit.
(2) The suppiles of meat and fats! are still insuficient. A widespread regulation system is to be completed within the next five years and the development of olive-growing both in the Italian homeland and the Em- pire' will solve the problem of these iwo shortcomings.
(3) In regard to ruw material supplies for industries, there are dis- tricts which self-support hus been provided by nature, others where can be increased to 50 per cent., and] finally those districts where such a actf-support is more or less 11- attainable. In this latter case resort ust be made to voluntary restric- Hons, and substitutes provided by the science.
(4) The battle for economic self- support will be fought with unshak- able energy. All open or camouflaged resistance. will be crushed. In Fascist States the economie system serves politics and not vice-versa.
(I consider the Supreme Coun- cil for National Economic Self- Support the most important one which will be made up by men who unswervingly believe in our Anal victory and who will go to the ex- treme to gain this end.
Mussolini's statement was received with thunderous applause.-Trans- Occan.
