Sweden Develops Radio at Expense of Cable Gothenburg.Sweden.—Wireless trans mission of messages has so developed In Sweden that the government's sta tion at Grimeton now sends about 95 per cent of all telegrams from Sweden to the United States. The receiving station, on the other hand, gets only about 40 per cent of the telegrams coin ing from the United States. In order to meet the new competi tion the cable companies have re- #uced their prewar rates. ~ The Grimeton wireless station was built for direct communication with the United States. Mussolini Writes Fascist History Brought Into Power. “Old Faithful” Geyser Alters Eruption Period Yellowstone National Bark.—Even Old Faithful, supposed to be the most constant, and certainly the most cele- brated geyser in the world, Is under going changes. This year, Old Faithful Is erupting every CT minutes and his outbursts last for about five minutes. In the memory of living scientists, tills geyser became active every GO minutes, and there Is much speculation as to changes beneath the earth's surface which are slowing down this old won der. — Many geysers In the basin of the Fire Hole river, the greatest geyser area In the world, have ceased shoot ing entirely within the last 50 years, while others which were formerly in active are again shooting. Old Faithful still sends steam and water Into the air to a height of 150 to 200 feet ami is surrounded day and night by throngs of tourists awaiting his outbursts. Rome.—Not satisfied with having created Fascism, with having put It in to effect during three arduous years, and with bearing the herculean resi>on- siblllty of bolding simultaneously five cabinet posts, Benito Mussolini is now undertaking the task of incorporating his achievements by becoming the In terpreter and historian of the political creed he brought to power. Undaunted by the almost super human exertions and responsibilities of bls unusual position, the premier has found time and energy to con tribute to the political monthly. Ge- rarchia (Hierarchy), which he found ed, two carefully written articles, ex plaining the Fascist conceptions ^, the “1922 revolution" and ef the new la bor union. Points the Way. The articles, apparently the Initial ones of a series, each militant and con troversial in tone, survey the histori cal background of the subject mat ter, justifying the Mussollnlan point of view, and aggressively point out More Water to Be Given Minnehaha how the 1922 revolution and the Fas cist labor union can be used as weapons in the struggle to Fascistize Italy. Writing on the labor unions organ ized by his party, Mussolini argues they are different from those in all other countries In two respects: they accept fully the Idea of fatherland, rejecting any Internationalism which Implies political adherence or class fealty breaking through national boun daries, and they consider capital not as an element to be suppressed, but as one to be liberated and strengthened for the benefit of the fatherland. Insists It’» Insurrection. Supporting the thesis that Fascism came into power by a revolution and is now defending itself as a revolu tionary government, the premier as serts that the two years before the now famous “March on Rome” consti tuted a war between Fascism and the government then In power. Answering the objection that the march on Rome was a parliamentary coup d’etat, Mussolini maintains that it was an insurrection, adding that a revolution does noi necessarily coin cide with its most important insurrec tional acts which, he declares, is but a single moment of the revolution and often not the first one. If the Fascist revolution were comparatively blood less, It was merely because the gov- ' ernment In power realized it would have been folly to resist. The premier concludes his survey with a plea that Fascists realize the possibilities and necessities of the revo lution. that they keep ever in mind the need for defending It and using It mili tantly against its opponents who are hence not merely peaceful parliamen tary enemies but traitors and subvers ives. • ■?
