TheTruthAboutFascism

ITSSOOIALPELLOSOPHT.

InareviewofJamesStrachen Barnes'book,'TheUniversalAspects ofFascism,"inthe"Standard,"Dublin,"AdeB.Hwrites:

Thegreatesteventinpoliticalhistory sincetheFrenchRevolutionwasthe risetopowerinItalyofFascism.Owingtoourlackofanenlighteneddaily Press,thepopularnotionofFascism maybesummedupasDictatorship. Themostspectacularaspectofthe presentregimeinItalyis,ofcourse, thedominanceofSignorMussolini,and newspapersintheEnglishtradition havedweltsolelyuponthis.Mussoliniis"goodcopy.'Dictatorshipin aprodigy.Verywell;thepublicshall beregaledwithnewsandpicturesof theDictator.

OntheContinentitisotherwise. There,theCatholictraditionkeeps aliveinallmenaphilosophicmind. TheLondoner-ortheAnglicisedIrishman-iscontentwithacartoonofa rampagingtyrant,orwiththevulgar jokethatonewasgrievedtoseeprintedrecentlyinanIrishpoliticalweekly,concerningtheKingofItaly'spockethandkerchief.TheFrenchman, thoughhebebutadocksidelabourer, asksmore:whatisthisFascism?

Fascism,insomeform,wouldhave Comeabouteveniftherehadbeenno warandnoMussolini.Itsviolentarrival,indeed,wastheconsequenceof thewar,whichfilledEuropewitharms andmadeviolentmeasuresnecessary. Itsswiftnessandthoroughnessinsuccessareduetotheaccidentthata manofMussolini'stremendousforceof characterwasbornatthisage.Yet, withoutthesecircumstances,there wouldhavebeenFascism-milder, slower,lesssuccessful,perhapsbutsubstantiallythesamething.

ThesetruthsaredemonstratedconvincinglybyMr.J.S.Barnes,F.R.G.S., inwhatmustbethebestEnglishbook onthesubjectofFascism.Mr.Barnes haslivedhislifeinItaly.Heknows theFascistleaders,andhisbookis endorsedbytheDucehimself.Itis notclearwhetherheisaCatholic,but heshowshimselffamiliarwithCatholicteachingandCatholicphilosophy. Icommendhisbookasonethatevery seriousreaderoughttosecure.Ithas extravagances,butitismainlysound.

ThattheauthorknowstheCatholic mindisimportant.ThemisunderstandingofSignorMussolini,ofItaly,and ofFascism,manifestinthePressofthe English-speakingworld,is'duetoignoranceofCatholicthought,ortoindifferencetoit.Mr.Barnesclearly showsthatoneofthemainspringsof theFascistmovementwastheCatholic tradition.

TheFrenchRevolutionsoughtto basesocietyontheprinciplesofLiberty,Equality,andFraternity.It brokeuptheolder,outwornEurope butitdidnotbringidealhappinessto theworld.Itwasnotfinal.Its principleofequalityneverhasbeen achieved-leastofallinFranceorAmerica,therevolutionarylands.

FascismisanattempttoreconstitutesocietyontheprinciplesofResponsibility,HierarchyandDiscipline.TheseareprinciplesthattheCatholicmindapprovemoreeasilythan thoseoftheFrenchRevolution.The cardinalideaofFascism,then,isthat ofsocietyasanorganism,governedby rank(nothereditaryrank-avoidthe vitalerror),andwiththehappinessof theindividualboundupwiththewelfareofthewhole.

AuthorityhasbeenrestoredinItaly, andFascistwritersconsiderthatinternationalpeaceneverwillbesecured untilauthorityreplacesindividualism inothercountries.

Somefallaciesofbothsidesofthe argumentmustbecorrected.Firstly thereistheSocialisticchargethatFascismisabanker'sregime.'Mr.Barnes demonstratesperfectlythatitis,cconomically,thesamethingaswhatwe callDistributiyism.Ithassecured that,inthiscruelindustrialage,in Italyatleasttheworkersshallbeowners.NeithercapitalismnorBolshevismshallrobthemofproperty.Yetit recognisestheneedformassindustries, andithasdevisedameansfortheir existenceinasystemofnationalcooperation.

Secondly,itisarevolution.On thisscore,itmustbecomparedwith otherrevolutions.Itsdeath-rollwas nolargerthanthatoftherevolution inourowncountry,althoughithadto fightamortalcombatwithrevolutionarySocialism.

Thirdly,there thecharacterof theleaders.Thisisthemostimportantproblemwithafuturebearing; foronthecharacteroftheleadersmust dependthe.safetyoftherevolution fromabuse.Thesubjectistoolarge fordiscussionhere.Mr.Barnesgives amostglowingaccountofthenew Mussolini,andtellsusthatheisinspiredbyareligiousgravity.Yetwe knowthattheDucehasgivenvoice tohighlyalarmingsentiments,andwe arenotquitecertainofhisorthodoxy. Someofhischieflieutenantshave shownthemselvesdangerouslytainted withlaicism.

Theconclusionsthatwedrawfrom Mr.Barnes'sbookandfromother sourcesofinformationare,firstly,that Fascismhascometostayasasystem ofsocietyrecognisingauthorityin placeofdemocracy,anddutiesinplace ofrights-tostayandtospreadco someotherlands.

Secondly,wemaydeducethattwo forceswillviewitheachotherforthe masteryoftheFascistState.One willbetheCatholicconservatism whichgavethemovementitssuccess. Theotherwillbetheexaggeratednationalismintowhichpatriotismsoeasilydegenerates.Thatistosay,there willbeleadersinFascismwho,having savedItaly,willseektoItalianise everythingandtoforgettheidealof aEuroperestoredtoauthorityinthe dreamofanempiresubduedtothemselves.

1.Thattwoqualifyingroundsof matchesbeplayed,onematchoneach team'scourt.Example:WestPerth v.Subiaco.Inthefirstroundmatch playedonWestPerth'scourt,andin thesecondround,onSubiaco.

2.Afterthetwoqualifyingrounds havebeenplayed,thefourleading teamstoconstituteafinalfour,from whichsemi-finalsannfinal,matches canbedrawn.Thesemi-finalsand finalmatchestobeplayedonneutral courts,nearesttocompetingteams. Ifthissystemwasadopted,itwould befoundthatmoreinterestwouldbe takenbyteamswhichareatpresent nottakingmuchinterestinthegame, onaccountofearlyfailurestowin matches.

Analternativetoplayingtwo"quelllyingrounds"inonedivisionwould betodividethecontestantsintotwo zones,asfollows:No.1Zone.-Fremantle,NorthFremantle,EastFremantle,FsleaconsfieldRosalie,Subiacc. No.2Zone.-Maylands,WestPerth, Airanmore,VictoriaSquare.Victoria Park,MidlandJunctnon.

Two"qualifyingrounds"couldnnw beplayedwithoutanyextratimetaken,butonlythetwoleadingteamsof eachzonewouldconstitutethefinal four.Ifzoningwasadopted,there wouldbenorightofchallenge,asthis couldonlycomeaboutbY'onestraight competition,whena"minorpremiers" wouldbebroughtabout, theleadingteamattheendofplayinthe qualifyingrounds.Theywould,if beateninthefinals,havetherightto challengethewinners.

Anotherpointthatshouldbetaken intoconsiderationisthenumberof goalsthathavebeenthrownagainst eachteam.Toillustratethepoint sateWestPerthandSubiacoarelevel onpointsforapositioninthefinal four,andSubiacohavescored210goals andagainstthemfinallmatches', 163goalshavebeenscored.Thiswould giveSubiacoanadvantageof47goals.
