FASCIST BIRTHDAY.

ADDRESS BY DICTATOR. (BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPIBIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z AND SUN CABLE.) HOME, October 30. Siguor Mussolini, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Fascism, paid a tribute to the veteran appearance and solidarity of the troops, whose faith was love of their country and whose determination was to greaten it. "We are all reapers of victory," he said. "Wo are unswervingly loyal to the King and determined to defend the revolution at home and our rights abroad, confuting the vociferous Jeremiahs who are prophesying that our regime is ephemera-.), have the <eutury before us. Oil- enemies are scattered everywhere and s'-arcely deserve contempt."

AN IMPRESSIVE REVIEW. / (AUSTRALIAN- AND K.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November Ist, 0.00 a.m.) EOME, October 31. As an introduction to the Mussolini All Eome Parade, in honour of the five years of the Fascist regime, Signor Mussolini appeared on a bright bay charger, and reviewed 60,000, Fascists on the vast Parioli racecourse. Every inch of the surrounding hills was black with people, the majority in Fascist garb, and wearing insignia. A squadron of aeroplanes circled above the parade.. Signor Mussolini faced the massed ranks motionless on his horse, with his arm raised for the Roman salute.
