An Interview

Newspapers of a certain type love correspondents with fancy names. London Daily Press has such a one in Lady Drummond-Hay. It instructed her to interview Premier Mussolini. The result:

Of Liberty.

"Is there such a thing as liberty? Civilization is the inversion of personal liberty. In the long run it resolves itself into a matter ot space--more space, more liberty-- and those who would benefit from the advantages of civilization must necessarily pay in the coin of personal freedom. When liberals call out for liberty they display ignorance, of the rudiments of the mechanism of government.

"There can? be no such thing as liberty, which exists but in the imagination of philosophers who seek their unpractical philosophy from the skies." Of Prohibition.

"No. Why should I seek to deprive other people of their personal enjoyment? For ten -years I have given up drinking alcohol, except at some special party or gathering, but that's no reason why I should impose my taste on the nation in general."

Of an Ideal.

"Julius Caesar is my ideal, my master--the greatest man who ever was" (A bust of Julius Caesar is visible in Mussolini's private office. )

-Recent rumors have had it that Mussolini is suffering from cancer of the stomach.
