Because, in the loneliness of Power, Il Duce admits no other mortal to close friendship he spends most of his evenings alone, finds distraction, when not working, in his violin and in censoring cinemas. Came news last week that the Dictator had shushed the U. S. feature length film Mussolini Speaks, banned it from ever being shown in Italy. Patched together from newsreel shots, it parades for over an hour the electrifying facial mannerisms of Orator Mussolini (see cut) (TIME, March 20). The Dictator's crisp reason for shushing Mussolini Speaks: "Not timely enough"- all of the patched-together...
...Every Italian salary and wage will be cut, announced the Dictator, and so will every Italian price. By submitting to this discipline Italians will obtain (without going off the gold standard) the same competitive advantage in foreign trade that U. S. citizens achieved by debasing their dollar.

They are hot-gospelers for the State. picked for their ability to believe and act in harmony with the slogan printed everywhere, "Il Duce is never wrong!" Once an editor, II Duce realizes that the details of his press domination are best kept secret from countries in which journalism is still a free profession. Last week Manhattan's anti-Fascist daily La Stampa Libera was able to publish copies of a smuggled series of daily orders released...
...have all the reports of accidents and crimes follow one another, for it is not desirable to fill half-pages with catastrophic news. ¶"Warning is hereby given to abstain from using the words 'supreme hier archies,' as the party has only one: Il Duce. ¶"In announcing the celebration to be performed on the arrival of the Atlantic flyers in Rome the Carlino made use, in yesterday's number, of the word 'apotheosis.' This adjective is too extravagant, because the arrival of the flyers is several days off, and also because up to that...
