thanking him for his letter and for sending him "a copy of your speech on the occasion of the Annual Banquet of the Canadian Manufacturer's Association, and making mention also of the article published in regard to me in ... the New York Times. I am greatly pleased that you retain such kindly memories of your sojourn in Italy during the recent Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce, and we are particularly grateful for your flattering appreciation in regard to my Country and to the policy of re-establishment pursued by the National Fascista Government which I have the honour to preside over ...", 2 sides A4, Ministry of Foreign Affairs headed paper, 3rd September
As Prime Minister, the first years of Mussolini's rule were characterised by a right-wing coalition government composed of Fascists, nationalists, liberals, and two Catholic clerics from the Popular Party. Mussolini's domestic goal was the eventual establishment of a totalitarian state with himself as supreme leader (Il Duce). He favored the complete restoration of state authority, with the integration of the Fasci di Combattimento into the armed forces. In political and social economy, he passed legislation that favoured the wealthy industrial and agrarian classes.
Together with a Typed Letter Signed from Eugene Bonardell, the Consul General of Italy in Ottawa to Shaw sending thanks on behalf of Mussolini.
