THE NATION AWAKENING.
"The managers of the totalitarian State, so prodigal of expenditure for beautifloation and entertainment, seemed to be obliged to declare redueed dividends for oapitalists and wage reductions for the workers year after year. By 1934 Italian people might still think they had made a good deal in purohasing unity and order at the expense of intellectual and business liberty, but they recognised that unity and order had not brought an economio improyement to the worker, the small business man, nor eveii, unless he were a Government contraotor or favourite, to the big man. Far more are the Italian people aware of this in 1936. The Government has long sinoe oeased publishing such statistics as price indices or average wages, but the traveller can to-day overhear a loud^murmm' of anxiety ahout prices of hread, butter, meat, cheese, pasta — an aggrieved muttering and questioning how oue can hope to get through another year with such prices notwithstanding wage increases of 6 to 10 per cent."— From the Manchester Guardian (special correspondent, Rome).
