Rome, Nov l6--(By The A. P.)-l Premier ,Iussolini in his initial ad- iress to the chamber of deputies today threw down the gauntlet to that body md indicated in unmistakcable terms 1ist he WAS not there to ask favorS but ;o receive thcra.
 The government according to all indi- cations will receive a large majority rom all groups excepting the socialists and communists. who number slightly more than a hundred. About $50 mem 5ers are said to have expressed their intention of supporting the Fascist pre- mier. .. 7
 Even the members of the Nitti group who nave always been considered bitter opponents of the Fascist movement, nave decided not to oppose the govern ment. Some of them will go so far as Q support it, while others will abstain from voting. Conspicuous among the abstainers is former Premier Nitti who mas announced that he will not, arrive in Rome until next week. The leaders of all the other political groups havo reach sd the capital, including former Premiers Bonoml. Salandra, Facta and Glolitti.
 A departure from Italian parliament ary usage Is likely to mark this first debate under the Fascist rule, as Pre- mier Mussalini it is understood. will ask that the speakers be limited to one for sach gra'O. Heretofore all orators who registered nae been allowed to speak. Mussolini is against this procedure as he contends 1t wastes valuable time. It is believed that the vote of confidence will be reached by Saturday, thus permit ing the premier to leavelfor his confer snce with the French premier and Brit sh foreign secretary preliminary to the Lausanne peace conference. It is the government present intention to ask a single vote of confideHce covering both it's domestic and foreign policies as we'll as vote for the budget to July, 1923.
