Subway!
Ancient though it is, Rome got around to building a subway for the first time only last week when Benito Mussolini swung a pickax with such vigor that he cracked a paving stone in the Piazza Bocca della Verit`a. Five thousand Fascist workmen are to build the four miles of subway in four years, by that time will probably be as proud as the overpropagandized Red toilers in Moscow who through Intourist interpreters ask travelers: "Is it not wonderful that the Soviet form of State has enabled us to build a subway? You have no subway yet in New York, but you will after you throw off your Capitalist chains!"
In 1941, an Italian who has bathed at Ostia, favorite beach of Il Duce, will be able to speed in electric cars, which already run to Rome, clear under the Eternal City and on up to his suburban home in the Alban Hills.
