11 Duce Plans Italian Supremacy
Rome—A sixty -year program of in-
ternal and external expansion eehich
in the twenty-first century will give
Italy the "primacy of the world" was
outlined by Premier Benito Mussolini
in a speech to 5.000 cheering chief
Fascists of the Kingclorn. That cen-
tury, he . said, will be a "ilia.ckshirt
era." The dictator spoke�ln the Rome'
Opera House to. the'so-called quin-
quennial assembly of the regime, one
week before the five-year election. In
the audience were virtually .all .Italy's
noted men, including Gus -hell -no Mar-
coni, the inventor; the Cabinet, pro-
vincial Prefects, and other officials.
"In. this age of plans," IP Duce de-
clared, "I want to lay before you a

but for sixty . years; carrying on to
the twenty-first century, at which
:time Italy will hare the primacy of

to keep secret his future plans. It is
expected he will stay aboard the boat
for a month.
