IE OF New York. Jan. 17 Praise of Premier Mum lini and the fnscmti government and criticism of the opposition partly were voiced to day by Don GclnMo, Italian am barsador to Ihe United Btates, In a speech before the Italian cham ber of commerce here today. The ambassador said he was speaking, "not as a diplomat, b it as a man who is on the eve of entering Into political utrife." To refit the KnglKli parliamen tary system to tho needs of Italy, i?nid tho ambassador, a tailor had to be called in. "Mussolini has been the tailor," he uddd, "and fascism.-) his scissors." There Is one characteristic dif ference In the psychic and Intel lectual make-up of the Anglo Saxon and tho Latin peoples." he Mild. "The former have, a highly developed political conscience and great rap.icPy for social organiza tion. Tho Latins, lnteid, are eminently indlvi!ualbtllc; endowed with hli;h Intellectual creative pow ers, they lack politloil und social coalescence." Tho result of this, h-! asserted, is thU the Italian parliamentary body. Instead of having a two party system, breaks up In a "mul titude of blicks and parties hav ing widely different political ten dencies." The parliamentary regime in Italy, he Bald, had always func ilon?d niore or f bally, but af ter the war had "degenerated Into wu'-h a political nie.ss ih.m fast-Wn. upheld by popular indignation, had to hi p In and take In hand the rudder of the govyrnm ni."
