IL DUCE DEFINES NIS GOVERNMENT (Continned From Page 1) running organizations of human units finally reaching 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 disregarding the worn-out system of political affiliations and of shirking of responsibility and substituting it hy the appointment of a capable, expert and responsible officer. Thus, many of them had even adopted the idea of “podesta” that is, the Institution of a responsible municipal officer managing the community, long before Fascism Installed It for the administration of our towns and cities. It Is the only logical and practical way of securing efficiency, Insuring rapid decision and action and of laying one's finger upon the particular man, guilty of neglecting or deserving of praise for promoting those things deemed essential for the welfare and progress of the municipality. It is just such business efficiency on a larger scale, we have tried to work 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 organizations, It centers responsibility and unifies control, culminating In one man at the head charged with its direction. Heads Seven Departments Promptly at 9 o'clock each weekday, I am at my desk In the Vimlnale Palace, the seat of the ministry of the interior, to direct this huge machine. I have under my Immedi ate supervision the administration of seven ministries, the presidency, interior, foreign affairs, war, navy, air and “corporation,” the latter being an entirely Fascist creation designed especially to deal with the relations between capjtal and labor. I also supervise the command of the Fascist militia, of which I am com-mander-in-chief. The work of these ministries is so coordinated that the business to be transacted is done with the dispatch of a highly effiieient prit;ate enterprise. Kvery day for five hours, until 2 o’clock, the entire government business of these departments. except the ministry of foreign affairs, is directed and supervised with business thoroughness and rigidity. At 2, I take a light lunch and am then at my desk at the Chigi Palace, the seat of the ministry of foreign affairs, where I remain until 10 in the evening on the constant go save for taking a glass of milk at my desk at 6. The work is that, of directing Italian foreign relations, of examining and' answering correspondence, receiving ambassadors and ministers, and holding numerous imperative conferences and audiences. When the chamber of deputies and senate are in session, my attendance at one or the other is dovetailed Into the schedule. Cabinet meetings too must find a place in the day’s limited hotlrs. T attend the 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.

the under-secretaries of elate know that the government business must be handled with -enthusiasm and promptitude. Our work must be intensive and productive. They know my requirements in this regard. They know that tHey cannot approach me unless their mission is one of government business. There is no time to joke. Everything must be to the point and must be worth discussing. Each usually has his business well defined and when be sees me. need stay but a few minutes. They have acquired skill in condensation which enables me to go quickly to the matter in hand and to settle it. I am fortunately blessed with a faculty for quick decision which permits me to accomplish an immense amount of work. I cannot stand vacillating and procrastinating executives. Ministers of a professional type are useless as administrators. They take so much time for decision that the whole business of their department Is delayed. This^cannot be tolerated in any branch of my government. Ministers, before ;we came into pewer, deliberated 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, ian finance, strengthened the lira and now have consolidated the public debt by the launching of the Lictoral loan. For our sea commerce, we built the “Roma," the biggest ship in the Mediterranean service and will build two new liners, “Rex” and ’’Dux,” the fastest in the world, forty knots an hour, taking only four to five days from Italy to New York ■and seven to Buenos Aires. Fascism's Achievements Fascism constructed in tWo years the Rwne-Ostia electric line, a project planned for twenty years, designed to give the people of Rome access to their own seashore. Fascism constructed the Apulia aqueduct to supply fosy communes with an aggregate population of 3,000.000 with water: is building the longest tunnel in the world between Florence and Bologna—fifteen miles long—ls completing the Rome, to Naples direct line to reduce the running time by one-half and undertaking numerous projects to be brought to successful consummation under fjtsclst intiattve and drive. I came into office a young man, 39, the youngest premier Italy ever had. I arrived with the force of youth. It was natural for me 'to be able to undertake greater burdens ihan the ministers of*the old regimes. They could not. stand the intense physical strain—they were 60. 70 and sometimes 80 years of age. The combined ages of the men in my cabinet total slightly over 200, while in one of the cabinets of Signor Giolittl, the total years of the ministers reached 1,100. American Presidents, alas, suffer greatly from the strain of office. Roosevelt, however, during his incumbency stood it well and came out of office a very strong man, for he was young. He was, too, -a believer In a disciplined life and so am I. He was a wielder of the "big stick.” which is a fascist trait.. He also was a man of quick decisidr. and rapid execution. He was an untiring worker. too—a great adiministrator. He was truly one of those who stood out in bold relief in his generation and cast his influence upon the entire world. \ My collaborators are all young men. I have three under secretaries of state, who have hardly passed 30. 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 the dorryinatlng spirit of oneness with fixed responsibilities and policy have been of marked assistance to me. achieving what was never dreamed of under the old system of political party affiliations. At one of the palaces where he does his daily work, Premier Mussolini has given orders that no woman shall be admitted so his presence. He tells why in tomorrow's article in The Indianapolis Times. He also Jells of the many extra-officio duties attendant upon his position. PAT DEFIANT AT QUIZ y Convicted Slayer of Meliett Refuses to Change Murder Story. Bu Unit'd Press CLEVELAND. Ohio. Jan. B.—An auburn-haired youth sat in his cell in the county jail here today and laughed at every attempt of police officials to learn from him the solution of the murder for which ha has been found guilty by a jury. Patrick McDermott met the questions shot at him with the same blithe., defiant smile thaj. marked his attitude when he was convicted in Canton of the assassination of Don R. Meliett. McDermott was to stay in jail here so that he may be called to testify Monday at the trial of “Big Ben” Nadel, Cleveland bootlegger, whom the police charge harbored McDermott when he was being sought after the shooting to death last July of the crusading editor of the Canton Daiyl News. WOMAN IN DEATH PLUNGE Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8. A woman registered at the Hanover Hotel as Mrs. Mary Brooks of Baltimore either fell or jumped from a window on the fifth floor of the hotel and was killed last night. More than SIOO was found in her purse, but no marks of identification other than her name on the register were found.\ The dead woman was well dressed, apparently about 30 years old. \ TOWN DESERTED BOSTON.

Wait In Office The tyiembers of the commission had beeti requested by phone to wait in their office and all were present save Commissioner Clyde H. Jones. The resolution was received and the commissioners agreed to meet today at. 9 a. m. to consider the request. Attorneys representing the protesting groups pot present at the time were immediately notified by Wampler of the hearing today, with the exception of William Bosson. for whom a message was left at his home. Attorney ' Wilde declared Ills clients, Chapman-Price Steel Company and the American Foundry Company, agreeable to the compromise. ‘ "This statement represents the decision of the Chamber of Commerce committee reached after careful consideration," said Matson, representing that body, “and represents what they consider to be the best thing for the city of Indianapolis.” “The compromise proposed by the .Chamber of Commerce is the most damnable outrare ever pughed on the people of Indianapolis." Claude E. Negley, president of the council, said before the hearing this morning opened. "Whstt right has the .amber of Commerce to do such a thing? Is it costing them so: .'thing or is it making them something?” Negley stated'that he was so "sore” over the turn the merger had taken that he could hardly talk about It. “Why didn't they wait until Jan. 31 promised and give the people a chance?” he fight this hellish merger with all my power and will use all of my Influence to make others fight It.” Surprise to Rucker “The compromise between the Chamber of Commerce and Clarke is a surprise to me.” Corporation Counsel Alvah J. Rucker said before the hearing. "I thought that the body was working for the Interests of Indianapolis.” Rucker seemed very much discouraged. “Clark probably will win now,” he sain. “But I will still fight the merger. A $200,000 bond doesn't mean anything to Clark. He could forfeit the bond and make the money hack In two or three months. I certainly wHI fight to the last ditch anything that is so against Indianapolis and Indianapolis people as the merger Is.” Boynton J. Moore, formw council president, asserted that he would oppose the merger under any consideration. “I am willing to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce in any way but in their stand on the merger question," he said. “Take the cases of the Indiana. Bell Telephone Com pany and of the gas company. After merging the rates went away up. It would be the same with this. I will use all of my power as councilman to fight this merger.” Mayor Duvall said that while the capitalization seemed a little too high, yet It was Immaterial if increases in rates have been prevented by a guaranteed agreement. With the deposit to be forfeited in case of request for increased rates, the plan is acceptable to hint, he said. A. I,e Roy Portteus, presdent of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Clubs declared his organiation teas opposed to any compromise. “The action of the Chamber is a surprise to me,” sair PortteuV “I had no reason to believe, that a compromise was even considered. I think it is wrong for the utilities and for the general public.” William Bosson, representing certain consumers, taxpayers and labor organizations declared, “Such a compromise will not be good for the city and certainly not for the consumer.”
