Evviva Fascismof
Some results of the Fascista regime in Italy: In 1920 30,500,000 individual workdays were lost through strikes, in 1923 less than 250,000 were lost; in October, 1921, there were nearly 500,000 unemployed persons in Italy, in 1922 the number was little more than 300,000, in October, 1923, the figure was 20,000; in the fiscal year of 1914 Italian taxpayers paid 2,245,000,000 lire, in 1921 they paid 11,786,000,000 lire, in 1923 13,361,000,000 lire.
Figures are sometimes deceptive, but there can be no doubt that the dictatorship of Premier Benito Mussolini has worked wonders for Italy during the past year. For the numerous reforms which he has introduced into the country, irksome though many of them must have been, Signor Mussolini deserves unstinted praise and congratulations.
