ROME. November 16.-Premier Mus
solini In his initial address to the
chamber Of deputies today threw
down the gauntlet to that body and
indicated in unmistakable terms that
he was not there to ask favors, but
to receive them.
What l am doing today" said the
fascist premier. lis a formal act OF
courtesy toward you for which I do
not desire any special expression Of
gratitude.
For too many years ministerial
crises have been settled by the cham
ber by political maneuvers. but for
tho second time--the first was in May.
1915--the Italian nation has over
thrown the cabinet and given itself a
ministry outside. above. in spite of
parliament.

parliament with his program OF in
ternal reforms. he explained briefly

demanded blanket authority for a
free hand in the execution OF fiscal
and bureaucratic changes.
Signor Mussolini's parliamentary
debut as premier was impressive.
Never since the war has an Italian
premier appeared before the parlia-
ment with such self-confidence. Though
the number Of fascist deputies only
reaches thirty-one out Of over 500. the
new chief of the cabinet exhibited no
apologize tones. which was the custom
of his predecessors who operated with
coalition forces.
To use his own word. he simply "ex-
acted" a vote of confidence. He put
support of the chamber. but as one
who had summoned 1t to show cause
why it should not be dissolved and
bound over to keep the peace for two
years, until 1924. when its duration
would automatically expire. accord

The chamber hall was packed. Black
