Yet the intellectual and emotional soil of Italy is not exhausted: its cracy fertility is perennial. The present which generation la witnessing another great and far-reaching drama be- ing enacted on the same stage. It is safe to prophesy that, when the history of the XXth Century comes to be written, the drama of Fascism and its author, Signor Benito Mussolini-II Ducewill, with that other powerful drama, Bolshevism and its author, Lenin, dominate the post war period as the French Re- volution and its Child Napoleon himself of Italian extraction--- dominated, albeit in a different way, the period which ushered in our own age. It may even be that the war period will pale into insignific- ance beside the blinding glare of the Fascis-Bolshevist Revolt. What the future holds in store we know not; but this much is certain that that future will for ever remain a sealed book to those who fail to grasp the significance of Fascism.
