It ga- thered the humble and oppressed, comforted the afflicted, raised the builty one, to the selfishness and the Pagan hardness opposed cha- rity and devotion, evoked the unity and the fraternity of every human being, suggesting to the tired work- er the freedom to which they we- re entitled.

"The great contempt of work resulted from the sistem in which were kept all those on whom was imposed every material fatigue. And those were the numerous sla- ves which represented the work- ing class. The actual philosophers and poets vainly tried to defend such a class of humbles, but their work did not find an echo in the heart of men. Later on, slaves had a better luck in Rome', not in the primitive Rome where the condi- tions ot slaves were similar to tho- se ot Greece, nor the Pagan Rome/ but in that Rome where, unlike' Greece - that Lnever knew thel customary right born from the: habit and traditions 4 the State! relieved its heaviness in checking the private lite'ot its citizens and the latter became responsible of their own thoughts and of their own acts, when the voice of Christ- ianism imperiously echoed in the hearts ot those unfortunates and they gathered themselves to form the human unity. the problem of vharmohi%rs_rela-- tions between" Capital and Labor is difficult to solve. He believes also that most of our difficulties have been inherited from the last century. Considerable attention is bestowed on the greatest of ideal- istic philosophers - Plato. The Greeks and more particularly tho- se of the Platonic school did not regard human labor as dignified. The contempt which the majority exhibited in regard to the humbler and necessary forms of work was aggravated by the imposition of every form of material fatigue and restriction. The philosophers who tried to oppose the views of the majoritrand uphold the dignity ot human labor found, no echo in the hearts of their contemporaries. Later slaves had a happier time in Rome when Christianity drew the humble and oppressed by its doctri- nes. "Two epochs, two men, two dit- ferent tempers, but what a sur- prising encounter in the. advent of a new aristocracy, between the idealist and the realist." Professor Rieeirrde11i is of the opinion that Mussolini is indebted to Carlyle for the ideas that are now being put into practice. He contrasts the past and present centuries and .the characteristics of the two men. He sees Carlyle as the idealist and Mussolini as the realist. His idea is corned through the book as a general idea. "The Charter, in considering the spiritual as well as the material interests of the working classes recalls the efforts of the illustrious Thomas Carlyle. This same Charter seeks a happier relationship bet- ween employers and employed on a reciprocal basis." "Of the boldest reforms conceived by the genius of Benito Mussolini and certainly the most worthy, on account of the idea that inspired it, is the Labor Charter. Prof. G. Licciardelli ot the Uni- versity of Pavia, Italy, in a book "Benito Mussolini e Tommaso Car- lyle, La Nuova Aristoerazia" pays tribute to these two after this fashion: - .

CANADA The condition in Great Britain from 1830 to 1845 were very serious indeed. Commercial depression had reduced the working class to a pitiable state. So wretched was the lot of the laboring class that- it became the subject that was most widely discussed by everyone. Car- lyle by his writings gave inspira-. tion to the more practical social and labor movements of the later years of the nineteenth century. It is also known thar Carlyle became identified with the Chartist move- ment. This particular period was In the tie of communal fraterni- ty, so high and so solidly maintain- ed, the workers have concluded that they were suffering the same sorrows and the same miseries, that they were enduring the same fate, and in the daily interchange of sentiments, of affects, of pains, they felt like as if the breath of a new life that enlarged the thought, purifying their spirit, and calling them to a higher human dignity, had renewed their energies. As a new revelation of the J1ew order of things appeared a new soul: that of the laborer. And that soul which for the first time was set free, appeared in ful pristine vi-. gor, with the generous impetus lof enthusiasm, with sincerity and vi-i gorous sentiments and solidarity.) Machinery has transformed the workshops and at the same time, has changed the status of the worker. Consequently, the history of the sufferings of the working class was re-made and presented under a new light and in a richer literature. So human intellect was given the opportunity to discover its strenght of nature that had hithert remain- ed, mysterious, and so it has con- quered everything possible and, rendering them intelligent, has o- perated with them the great actual transformation ot life. The" marvellous inventions, the admirable scientific discoveries, all that has given new form to mat- ter are due to the regime ot the individual freedom in which the thought, no more opressed by the excessive intervention of the Sta- te, nor mortified by dogmas, has been able to elevate itself so tar where before it wasn't permitted to penetrate, to tind out what o- thers were not able to ever know. It is undeniable that the regime of the individual .freedom is the most efficacious to the deVelopment and to the increment of the social progress, and if today we are re- joicing from the beneficial effects of a great civilization we, evidently, owe to the new regime in which the freedom, from a learned con- ception of philosophers, inspired by the singing of poets and by the tepid inspiration ot simple and gentle souls, is succeeded a praetie- al actuation in the daily lite, di- recting and fecunditing, like aeti-l Telefono: CReseent--8445 The marvellous inventions and the discoveries of science ore due to the fact that the intellect has been free to function. In our day discovery has followed discowry and invention succeeded invention so rapidly that it has left the work- er not only bewildered but also at the mercy of "the machine. least, restored to mankind. And since then man is born free; Iure naturali omnes liberi naseitur." We enjoy today probably a great- er measure of liberty than our ancestors. This, according to Pro- fessor Licciardelli, we owe to de- liverance \from many philosophic ideas that were utterly impraetie- able. , man. $ryurt.'a, theu.thtcstgh1ts and action gig- r; The necessity for united, organ- ised effort is always apparent and under proper direction much can be accomplished thereby. There is no doubt that Mussolini has given much needed direction to the va- rious syndicalist and the other labor organisations in Italy. Ae- cording to the learned author the worker should be considered from what he calls "the human Interest" side. Therefore organisation should exist for the purpose of securing equity and justice in respect of hours of labor and adequate re- muneration for services given. "It is not the knowledge that one day he must die, that makes a man unhappy," states Signor Lieeiar- CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Carlyle was claiming for the working mass "a reasonable daily wage for a reasonable daily want. "Such was a reasonable, legitima- te question which the working class could even ask the government. He did not incite to rebellion, but urged that the mission that the man must accomplish on earth, na- mely that he return to be a bro- ther bt man. The true man, ac- cording to Carlyle, is the one who moulds himself to the heroic ideal, and makes of work the sacred pa- ramount duty ot life. "tisek'ttNest;tttntrisarstgtistt-aiesa1t ist had conceived and prosecuted with his admirable thought. Carly- le puts in the cult and religion ot work the sole and worthy medi- tation to stop the struggles among men and the social class, warfare, trying to direct them" to a unique loyal and everlasting understanding. ) He does not exalt work as the only source of riches, but as the )mission of the man in the world. "Ad opera nil aliud potest homo duam ut corpora'natur-alia admo- veat, reliquia natura intus agit." (Bacone: Novum Organon TV). Ae- cording to Carlyle, work is ideal- ized and considered the duty of every man, because the fate of eve- ry one is to be apprentice and la- borer, and yet more a scholar, teacher, inventor. Work is life: the: first and major social duty that man has to accomplish. From the heart of the laborer comes the strength given by God, the essen- ce ot holy and celestial life. He idealize work at the very moment when the fate of laborers was it')'-') re critical, when 1,429,089 (official: report) were receiving direct relief fund. "But where he, the most original of English historians, elevated him- self above all; and his word mark- ed by a profound mysticism, fore- told a new social hierarchy. He, the prophet of Great Britain of the first half ot the XIX century, who had lived the sad days of his nation, is the apostle of a new social order which, after a century, was given to the brilliant and bold mind of an Italian, Benito Mussolini; and when the conditions of Italy could be compared to those of England in the time ot Carlyle. Il D.uee initiated the foundations ot the The distinguished author (Pro- fessor Licciardelli) describes Car- lyle very correctly in this con- nection as "the prophet of Great Britain in the first half of the nineteenth oentury." Professor Lic- ciardelli draws a parallel between the England of the first half of the last century and the modern Italy. Mussolini is the Italian Car- lyle. Comparisons, it has been said, are odious. It is difficult to ima- gine any reasonable grounds tot this unusual comparison but the author's views are interesting. also the time of Robert Owen whose efforts, _in conjuction with others, secured a reduction of working time to ten hours a day.
