LONDON, Feb. 24--Following on the
announcement by Sir Laming Worth

Italy has been without Cabinet for
three weeks. exceeding it's own worlds
record of twelve leaderless days. King
Victor Emmanuel has received the
chiefs of the moderate parties and re-
peatedly offered each the Premiers
portfolio and the thanlkiess IL not al
most impossible task. OF forming a.
transition Cabinet. The situation to-day
contains some hope, for Deputy Facta,
former Minister of Justice and of FL
nance in several Cabinets, is trying to
organize Ministry
Superhcialiy Italy has proved the SUI
perfiuity Of all Cabinets, because the
country has carried on and the Ira ex-
| change has improved Behind the scenes
the situation Is serious. because govern
mental business is blocked, owing to the
postponement of important decisions un-
til new Cabinet is formed.
The people are beginning to grumble
because the partisan factions refuse to
bury the hatchet long enough to assure
the nation OF a stable government The
underlying cause of the Cabinet crisis
Is that Italy is passing through transit
ton from a conservative and so-called
liberal to a democratic form of govern
ment. The Conservatives represent the
large landed and financial interests.
Former Premier Giolitti was their
spokesman for thirty years. and, like
F"Uncle Joe" Cannon, ruled the Parlia-
ment with an iron hand. Signor Gio-
litti picked Cabinets. appointed Senator's

and popular control Although his fol-

and power in the Chamber that can
not be ignored by a new Ministry. Sig
nor F'acta is looked upon as follower
Of Gioiitti.
But the popular demand for more di-
rect control is growing rapidly. 1t is
demonstrated by the Catholic and So
called Populist parties. These two par
ties by advocating heavy taxation of
large estates and fortunes and protective
legislation for the small farmer and
working man make q similar appeal for
popular support. Tactically they work
together Each has fifth OF the seats
in the House. This is insufficient to
control the House. but is enough to block
other combinations. After the elections
next summer this element Is expected
to have a majority and form its own
Cabinet.
Hence the refusals of D Nicola and
Orlando to accept the task to-day. for
they know they must leave tomorrow.
Politically it doesn't matter much to
the new Premier because at best his
tenure of office will be transitory and
an all business affair.
The several parties are beginning to
realize that prolongation of the crisis
may embarrass Italy at the Genoa con-
ference and increasingly discredit her
Parliament, before the Italian people.
Hence the moderate parties and even
the Socialists, who until now had alb
