If we throw our minds back to our childhood, the most impres sional time, and ask what moved us, we must remember that we had at the advantage of reading a single word of any author who is alive today.

Pictures of Signor Mussolini, the national Ang, and Fascist banners strike the eye everywhere. Blackshirts bear- ing standards and the Lictorian emblem move through the streets In long processions. Men in ths prime of life and old men, youths, schoolboys, and schoolgirls show an equal pride in wearing Fascist uniforms. Since the great days of the Risorgimento there has never been a such n national rejoicing. The jubilation is strikingly evident in all ulasses-among the poorest working people and the middle and The apper categories of citizens. proudest, Italian to-day is he who can boast of having been a Fascist from the early days, and no national feast or holiday is cele- brated with such enthusiasm as the day of the Fascist march on Rome.

Five years ago Signor Mussolini found a Government in a state akin to anarchy, a nation depress. ed and discouraged, an army and anvy despised and disorganised. the national" tlag reviled and in- suited and hunger, misery, and bloodshed stalking through the|

Alf this has been changed. From the first day of his entrance inte Rome Signor Mussolini began making a clearance of anarchical tendencias. Peace was restored to the home, every man was gauran- teed work and freedom to work. puble officials were told to attend to their duties, not to talk for their pas, posts and telegraphs, "rail- ways, "factories and workshops got back into order, and fields were ploughed and harvests were gather- ed in pesec.

Great. Changes In Rome..

The work accomplished in five years by Fascimo in every field of ational activity is indeed gigan- tie, and such as, perhaps, fey re- gimes in history, with such limit ed means, ever accomplished in Rome alone is a any country, shining example of what has been done. I had the pleasure vester- day of visiting, in company with Governor of Rome, Prince Potenzian, parts of Rome which have been completely transformed, and others which are in process of transformation. Public gardena bave been created, the famous Vin Nomentana, once deserted or hid den in a whirlwind of dust, has bee rome a magnificent" promenade with miles of flower beds and green lawns, and the roadway has been paved with asphalt. The Corso 'Italia has also become a beauti ful promenade, with benches, and flower beds. are only examples of the many im provements. New suburbs, almost like towns, have been created and equipped with fine eight and ten storey houses capable of lodging 230,000, families, and provided with splendid avenues of trees. Large new hospitals are also being erect- таби great water supply system carried out, and preparations, be- ing made for underground electric lines.
