-By Telegraph — Copyright) .
Rome, October 28 "Italy must lead the world on air, : land and the realm of sport," declared Signor Mussolini from a balcony in the Plazza Benetia at the climax of a glittering march of 16,000 war veterans and black shirts, celebrating the eleventh anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome, and inaugurating the Imperial Way' which Mussolini reconstructed through the historic city^of the' Caesars on which the Roman soldiers marched 2000 years ago. As the Fascist eagles and other emblems dipped under the ancient Arch of Constantine, newly revealed by excavation. Gheering thousands regarded the spectacle as a revival of the ancient triumphant march of the legion, which impression was heightened by the presence of the King, who was taking the salute for the first time in the anniversary celebrations. The whole of Italy is on holiday. Bands are playing in the squares and bonfires are blazing on the peaks of the Alps. A huge work programme involving £40,000,000 was inaugurated among the day's celebrations.
