Speech delivered at Rome, 19th January 1923, at the headquarters of the Motor Transport Company.
Hon. Mussolini. I warmly thank Commendatore De Cupis and all the workmen-I was going to say my colleagues-for the warm welcome I have received. If my minutes were not numbered, I should like, here in the presence of the "controllers of the steering wheel," to sing the praises of speed, in this the epoch of speed.
