He gave them six ' months to produce a scheme and it was presented in the sixth month. ’
A million rfiiojre people are provided for, underground railways are to run ‘ through ground holding the dust of Christian martyrs, and motor speedways will be laid out from north to south, froml east to west, across the historic city!.., A vast liarbqur, named Port Mussolini, will be built and linked to the sea. by a fifteen-mile canal, thus making Rom© a great inland port. The old railway station is to he demolished, to be replaced by l two new ones, and the slum areas are to be wiped out. The whole scheme depends, on one man’s .will, and when he gave orders for work to begin i,t was immediately fallowed by - action.
