DECATUR DAILY. DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927.

“My TwentyFour Hours” — \ (CONTIMtED FROM PAGE ONE) I rectlon, policy and responsibility centjered In on ( > man, on whom the whole operation of the immense organizuton depended. The gUint steel, oil, copper, transportation and other Industriea were developed under these geniuaee, who in their way, were veritable dictators, whose words were law throughout their respective realms. They created smooth-running organizations of human units huffily reading a degree of efficiency which has been the marvel of the world. Lauds City Manager Plan American municipalities are recognizing the need of centralization of the administrative powers and of the fixing of responsibility in their adoption of the “city manager’’ plan, it ’ would seem that they are disregard- , ing the worn-out system of political affiliations and’ of shirking of re- . sponsibility and substituting it by the appointment of a capable, expert and responsible, officer. Thus, many of ’ them had even adopted the Idea ot "podesta", that is, the Institution of ■ a responsible municipal officer managing tlie community, long before ’ Fascism installed it for the administration of our towns and cities. It is the only logical and practical way of securing effciency, insuring rapid decision and action and of laying one's finger upon the particular man. guilty rt neglecting or deserving of praise ' for promoting those tilings deemed essential for the welfare and progress of the municipality. It is just such business effciency on a larger scale, we have tried to work 1 > I into the government machine of Italy. We are succeeding. We have practically rebuilt the old machine, substituting a part here and there and renewing it. It has been completely overhauled and speeded up and has already shown its productive power. Conceived on the same lines , as the successful business organizat tions, it centers responsibility and uni- ( ties cofltrol, culminating in one man , at the head charged with its direction. Heads Seven Departments Promptly at nine o’clock each weekI Jay, I am at my desk in the Viniinale Palace, the seat of the ministry of the Interior, to direct this huge ma- , chine. I have under my immediate . mpervisioii, the administration of leven ministries, the presidency, interior, foreign affa/rs, war, navy, air ind “corporazioni* the latter being an sntirely fascist creation designed especially to deal with the relations between capital and labor. I also supervise the command of the fascist nilitia, of which 1 am comniandcr-in- ■ chief. The work of these ministries is ss coordinated that the business te be transacted is done with the dispatch of a highly efficient private eu- ■ terprise. Every day for five hours, until two . I’cloek, the entire government business of those departments, except he ministry of foreign affairs, is diected amt supervised with business horoughness and rigidtiy. At two, 1 take a light lunch and tni then at my desk at the Chigi palice, the seat of the ministry of foreign affairs, where 1 remain until ten in the evening on the constant go save for taking a glass of milk at my desk at six. The work is that of di- : retting Italian foreign relations, of examining and answering correspondence, receiving ambassadors and ministers, and holding numerous im perative conferences and audiences. When the chamber of deputiek and senate ar e iu session, my”attendance • at one or the other is dovetailed into (he schedule. Cabinet meetings too must find a place in th eday's limited hours. I attend th 0 chamber and senate ready to take up questions which might be introduced on the conduct of the government and to keep the deputies and senators informed on the policy of the administration. My colleagues in the cabinet and the undersecretaries of state 'know tliat the government business must be handled with enthusiasm and promptitude. Our work must bo in ' tonsiv (O and productive. They know ( my requirements in this regard. They know that they cannot approach mo unless there mission is one of government business. There is no time to joke. Everything must be to the point and must be worth discussing. l Each usually has his business well ' iV fined and when lie sees me, need stay but a few minutes. They have aeifliired skill in condensation which enables me to go quickly to the matter in hand and to settle it. 1 am fortunately blessed with a faculty for quick decision which per-j mils me to accomplish an immense amount of work. 1 cannot stand vacillating and procrastinating ex ecutios. Ministers of the professional type arc useless as administrators. I They take so much time for decision that' the whole business of their de- j

partmeul ia delayed. This cannot be i tolerated iu any branch of my government. Ministers, before we came into power, deliverated and vacillated for years before putting into operation. We have created an aptitude for quick decision in our public affairs which coupled with our intensive effort has achieved things not dreamed of before our advent to power. We have settled our debts with England and America, stiffened Italian finance, strengthened Hie lira and now have consolidated tile public debt by the launching of the Lictoral loan. For our eea commerce, we built the “Roma.’’ the biggest ship in the Mediterranean service and will build two new liners, the fastest in the world, forty knots an hour, taking only five days from Italy to New York and seven to Buenos Aires. Fascism's Achievements Fascism constructed in two years tlie Rome-Ostia electric line, a project planned for twenty years, designed to give tile people of Rome access to their own seashore. Fascism constructed the Apulia aqueduct to sup-1 ply forty communes with an aggregate population of 3.000,000-with wat- ■ er; is building the longest tunnel in the world between Florence and Bologna,—fifteen miles Jong—is completing the Rome to Naples direct line to reduce the running time by one half and undertaking numerous projects to be brough to successful consummation under fascist initiative and drive. 1 came into office a young man, thirty-nine, the youngest premier ' Italy ever had. 1 arrived with the force of youth, it was natural for me to be able to undertake greater buri dens then the ministers of the old regimes. They could not stand the intense physical strain, — tiiey were sixty, seventy and sometimes eighty ' years of age. The combined ages of the men in my cabinet total slightly over two hundred, while in one of the ' cabinets of Signor Giolitti, the total l I years of the ministers reached eleven ’ hundred. American presidents, alas, suffe r greatly from the strain of office. 1 Roosevelt, however, during his incumbency stood it well and came out of office a very strong man, for lie was young. He was, too, a believer in a disciplined life and so am 1. He was a wielder of the “big stick." which r is a fascist trait. He also was a man of quick decision and rapid exe- | cution. He was an untiring worker, f too—a great administrator. He was truly one of those who stood out in bold belief in his generation and cast 1 his influence upon the entire world. 1 My collaborations are all young 1 men. 1 have three under-secretaries ' of state, who have hardly passed 1 thirty. There is a great advantage in youth. It is filled with enthusiasm ! to achieve. It may be argued that it ’ lacks experience but it more than compensates in its intensity of spirit. It will attempt the impossible and often it will succeed. Youth and Hie 1 dominating spirit of oneness with fixed responsibilities and policy have been of marked assistance to me, achieving what was never dreamed of 1 ifhder the old system of political party , affiliations.

FORMER CONVICT | TO PREACH HERE A convict who traded a gun for a New Testament will speak at the U. B. church. Monday evening. W. 11. Cook, a man who for twen- 1 ty years lived in the underworld of gamblers and crooks, but who is now a reformed man, will speak at the United lsnetliren church Monday night. January 10, at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Cook brings u wonderful message and tells It in a most praghic uul interesting style. It’s the story that every parent ia this city should .tear and also every young person who hears it will be profited thereby. Mr. Cook is doing a special work in the religious field and interviews at the jails, penitentiaries and the reformatories and tells them of the power of God to make a man over. Mr. Cook takes no special offering I for hi# work, and if any desire to .help him they take’it to him. It is expected that a large crowd will hear this message next Monday , nigh). Tb« pastor, the Rev. C. R, ' Smith, recently heard the message aud is glad to have the same given rem his local pulpit. o Four Men in Accident Enroute To This City Jack Belger, John W. Kelley, Jack Monyhan, and Frank Adams, all of Bluffton, escaped serious injury this morning about 12 miles west of Deca'.ur, when the Chrysler sedan in which they were driving toward this city to attend the funeral of George O'Brien, skidded and was thrown into a ditch.
