ITALY’S NEW LIFE

BRITISH OFFICIAL IMPRESSED LONDON, November 2. “Italy’s bold experiment in evolving a new form of organised national, social, and economic life has not yet bv any means reached its final stage, but the . results already obtained and the final' achievement to which they are directed, merit the closest attention of the rest of the world.” So writes Mr R. M. A. E. Turner, British Commercial Counsellor at Rome, reporting to the Overseas Trade Department on the economic conditions of Italy. Nobody can be blind, Mr Turner says, to the marked improvement that has recently occurred in the public services in Italy, and -the magnitude if the public works that are being carlied out. Signor Mussolini’s leadership has inspired the full trust of a great intelligent, and hardworking people, says die Times, in a leading article, in vliieli it is admitted that so far Fasiism has suited Italy. \ But emphasis is placed on the reflection fliat 'the relative success of the experiment is io sort of reason why it. should suit ither countries differing from Italy geographically, economically, politically ind in the characteristics of their inliviilual citizens.
