| Benito Mussolini, head OF the Fas-

itary sections OF the Fascist 20 keep
In readiness the $4,000 workers who
have Joined the Fascist organization,
and have been ordered 10 cooperate
at an opportune moment with the mill
tary sections
This is Interpreted here as prepara-
tion for the assumption OF power by
the Fascist.
The expectation in Rome tonight
was that King Victor Emmanuel would
return 10 the capital tomorrow for
conferences with the political leaders
prior 10 the formation Of the new gov
ernment The situation was regarded
hopefully In Rome. The belief pre-
vailed in some quarters that either
yittorlo Orlando or Giovanni Glollttl,
both former premiers, would be re-
quested TO organize new cabinet
Fsscistl's Next Move In Doubt
The impression was advanced in po-
litlcal circles that the Facta ministry
decided to retire chiefly for the pur-
pose of bringing about the formation
of strong administration which at
the approaching reopening of the
chamber Of deputies would be capable
OF facing the Fascist There was
some speculation as TO whether the
Fascist would yield TO offers of port
follos In a cabinet headed by Giolltti
or Orlando or decide 10 precipitate
matters by carrying out their threats
to seize the government.
The widest rumors we're In clrcula-
ton tonight, due 70 the fact that
Signor Orlando left Rome for Cayour,
Piedmont. for long interview with
Signor Giolittl on the cabinet situa

and four or FIVE members Of the Fas- |
cistl on the other hand, the belief /
was expressed that within a few days /
the Fascist would occupy all govern |
ment offices throughout Italy.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear to induce the ministers to with |
imminent reOpening Of the chamber Of
deputies and the absence Of King Vie
tor Emmanuel from Rome
The Epoca considers that probably a
new cabinet will be formed with for
mer PremIers Glolitti. Orlando and
Bonomi holding portfolios, but without
Fascist representation.
New Decline in Credit Feared

urges that, whatever the
solution Of the present situation, Il
should be rapid and such as 10 restore
foreign confidence In Italy. II sets
forth that the present state OF affairs
destroys Ttaly's credit, as i proved
By the value Of the Ira, which nor
nally is worth 20 cents, but today is
worth less than cents.
The belief expressed by most Of the
Rome newspapers Is that Signor Clio
