SOCIALISTS DEMAND MARCH FORWARD


in the party 1t is considered that IT
will almost certainly assure command of
the party because of the audacity of its
members.
Leaders of this section are quoted as
declaring that compromising. as they do,
more than $50 ''live wires" among the
$50 deputies, the remainder will not
dare oppose them and that they will be
able to accomplish "some supreme act of
rebellion which will overthrow the totter-
ing government of the bourgeoisie."
VIII Offend TO Cause Riots.
Formerly the socialists never attended
the opening OF parliament, absenting
themselves SO that they might avoid be
ing present when the king delivered his
speech from the throne and to escape
taking the prescribed oath in the king i
presence The newly elected extreme
socialists. however, now insist that the
entire group should attend the ceremony
hiss the king, insult him the moment he
appeared and prevent him from speaking.
They have gone so far as TO threaten
that he would be attacked on his way to
the chamber or upon his return.
No Way to Halt Riot.
"An this, it is pointed out, may be
much more than Is possible of accom-
plishment. Nevertheless, it has had the
effect Of making the responsible author
tiles restless and anxious. 1t has been
conceded among them that there is no
measure which it would be possible to
take to prevent 150 members whistGng
and shouting and making it impossible
for the king TO be heard.
The rules of the Italian parliament
do not provide for any such CONTINGENCY
as thus threatened, for 1t Is stipulated
that no police or armed force can be
employed in the mall where senators and
deputies meet There would be no means
of applying coercion. as the meeting
Monday, December /, will be the first
gathering Of the new parliamentary
for the maintaining order will not then
have been formulated.
Ministers In ouanday.
The council of ministers has been
meeting almost daily to discuss this grave
situation, as well as the Adriatic COM
plications. Foreign Minister Tittoni' 8
friends represent him as of the opinion
that it would be better for the cabinet
to resign because the ministers, through
neither their fault nor any on the part
of Premier Nitti, of whom Senior Tit
toni is strong admired, have failed to
realize the country's expectations.
Premier Nitti. on the other hand, is
declared to those close to him to be of q
firmly confident attitude and as con-
sidering that TO abandon power at such
moment would be equivalent to a gem
eral deserting his soldiers on the battle
field-almost treason to the king and the
country.
what Should King Do7
Pre-supposing that the cabinet will
present itself to the parliament on
December l unchanged. or with an al
tered personnel If Foreign Minister Tit
toni persists in his decision to resign. the
question is asked in political and govern
ment circles:
The problem is being considered
whether he should be permitted TO risk
going to the chamber to be insulted
there.
May Be Diplomatically III.
There have been some suggestions that
on that day it would be advisable for him
to develop a "diplmoatie Illness" In that
ease the royal speech might be read by
the premier, but the ardent admirers OF
the house of Savoy are pointing to the
traditional courage OF its members and
declare it would be difficult TO imagine
King Victor Emmanuel agreeing to such
a suggestion.
Even If the king should not attend the
opening session, the fact is being called
to attention that nothing could prevent
the socialists making an anti -monarchial
demonstration.
Abdication Lacks Pep.
Another element in conservative cir
cles has suggested even such q raf}ieal
measure as the abdication of King EN-
manuel in favor of the Duke of Aosta.
1t Is contended in opposition to this
view that such course would not help
the situation from the conservative
standpoint. as the personality of the
sovereign is not at issue.
