Corporation Steps

Italy's Minister of Corporations was no less busy last week than the Foreign Minister and the Minister of War (see above). The loudly-heralded but still intangible Corporative State advanced another step toward actuality when Minister of Corporations Benito Mussolini announced the make-up of the newest member that will compose the ideal Fascist State: the Corporation of Agriculture.

Within the new Corporation farm workers and farm owner-managers will be banded in separate confederations to be known respectively as the Sindicato degli Agricoltori and the Confederazione degli Agricoltori, which will be inaugurated Nov. 10. SA and the CA, each with separate provincial unions and separate boards of technicians, will be subdivided into innumerable groupings of owners, managers, rent-payers, day laborers, salaried workers, instructors in cattle-raising, wheat-growing, etc. All will be directly under the supervision of Minister of Corporations Mussolini.

Besides organizing SA & CA, the Minister of Corporations last week had time to reach an agreement with textile mill owners to have at least 30% of their employes men, as a move to reduce unemployment, and to borrow a leaf from NRA by announcing a 40-hour week for Italian Industry.
