‘Work My Passion,’ Says Mussolini

I have faced disaster and defeat, this power has kep? forcing’ me onward, dauntless for the future and sure of final success. Whenever there was a break in the steady march to the goal, it helped me take up the path and continue always forward toward the aim. I have never known lagging behind. I have had many things to balk me but I have kept going and going filled with a perseverance which was bound to reach its mark. Asa child, I met a child’s reverses, but kept on. When I faced the world as a man I seemed to be loping squarely Into difficulty, hut I plodded 'onward with my whole strength and fiber. I worked hard with my hands and. the lime I had to myself. I devoted to Culture and preparation. I was ever on the alert. I battled for what I conceived right. I went'to war. I fought with that same spirit. I returned and continued the fight, axn still fighting' and will continue, urged by my spirit until my task is done. Must Be Busy And, in my adolescent years this temperament coupled with hardship, drilled me for the tasks which later In life I was to face. The adversity of my youth, stretching year after year, trained me to meet difficulty and meet it by hard and severe work. It was inevitable that this constant grind to keep body and soul together and the desire to use my spare time In accomplishing something good would create of me a working automaton, more active and more powerful as the years passed. Idleness was unknown to Lme, for, even when I tramped from

I town to town in search of work, I I never failed to take along a volume of poems or philosophy. Work has become In me an ingrained habit. A j beneficial seized me when I was not ehgaged in some useful effort. I was indeed unhappy when there w r as not something to do. I was one out of my world. It was Just such training, I think, that should be given to our children. They should be drilled In achievement. They should be saturated with this spirit of work. It should be a part of their physical and mental equipment. The of adolescence should be dedicated to the formation of sound habits to stand in good stead throughout life. I fear for those in our schools and universities, who fool away their time in useless social pastime. The growing yedrs are the formative years, and habits and rules of life should be inculcated ■which remain the dominating quality, regulating their future and determining their •good to the world and mankind. I believe that as much liberty as possible should he permitted the child to determine his natural bent. Perhaps one could call this'a period of experimentation, of useful experimentation to find out what he is best adapted for. Once, however, this natural inclination has been dis covered, the line of the child's conduct should be fixed toward the aim determined. Severe application to duty and the cultivation of rules of physical and mental conduct Ingrained In the Individual are iraperative it&eds to enable him to achieve the enda-to which he may dedicate, his life.

My ancestors so far back as we can trace, were devoted to the soil. I come of stock whose long hours in the fields in the region Bologna for centuries have developed a race of sturdy progeny, through whose veins coursed the blood of countless generations of tireless tollers. Work was r heritage passed on from generation to generation. My father left the soil for the forge and anvil, "‘where fire and Iron knotted the muscles of his sturdy frame. My mother was a zealous searcher and teacher of knowledge. They have left me a priceless heritage In the body and mind with which I am endowed. Then, above and beyond my acquired and natural zeal of work, I have the great aim set before me to make my people great and to restore to them the glory that was theirs. My goal has been set. I l6ok into the future and there I see the mark I have fixed. It stands as the powerful lure, prevailing on me to achieve, keeping me Steadfastly fixed, firm In my purpose to reach the end. My fourteen and sixteen hours of dally toil are as nothing when I behold before me the promise which the future holds. This passion to accomplish for my people draws me to my task, I will not let one jot or tittle go undone that the great aim may be realized, that Italy hi ay take her place in the forefront amongst the nations of the. earth. Stern, unrelenting duty transcends all to bind me to my task. There Is the Imperious "must” compelling the daylong toll to go on.

COOLIDGE’S ACT DEFINES ISSUE (Continued From Page 1) that President Calles must answer now r . It was regarded as significant that no administration spokesman has fit to take exception to the word “war” used in connection with Mexican relations by Representatives and Senators. This official silence is explained in informed quarters, not by any belief that war is In prospect, but by the hope that the present show of United States naval strength in the Caribbean and the sharp Coolidge message will serve as a warning before the President takes further action. Coolidge's explanation of his drastic policy has split both houses of Congress and penetrated party lines to form strong groups of supporters and opponents.

When the funeral cortege left the church the tolling of the “Le Gros Bourdon,” four miles away in the enter of the city, was heard in all parts of Montreal, and workers paused everywhere to whisper a prayer for the children.
