FASCISTI LEADER
WILL RULE ITALY
WITH IRON HAND

Determined to Restore Nation to Place in World Affairs.

COMMUNISM ECLIPSED

Records and Rosters Seized, Burned by Nationalists.

(By the Associated Press.)
Rome, Nov. 1.—Italy will be on the road back to normalcy today after a most exhilarating week that saw the younger generation rise to power and in a great triumph overthrow the older politicians.

Tens of thousands of the vigorous young Fascisti and their enthusiastic admirers, who accompanied them here from all over the land, were on the way back to their homes today.

Yesterday theirs was the thrill of a real Roman triumph in which a million people made the streets ring with applause for king and country, and Dr. Benito Mussolini and his new Fascisti ministry had taken their oaths before the sovereign. As soon as this formal ceremony had ended the black-shirted boys and men who brought about the rise of Mussolini, marched as victors through the ancient streets of the city, crowded with a vast concourse that for the day doubled the population of Rome.

[...]

For the moment, at least, Communism has no part in the life of Italy. The onslaught of the Fascisti has rendered all radicalism a paralyzing blow. Carrying their battle into the labor temples and the meeting places of their antagonists, the militant Nationalists have seized the records and rosters and burned them.
