ROME, November 17.-Premier Mus
soltniS first appearance before the
Italian chamber proved a great personal
success. He spoke to the deputies as
he had addressed the leaders Of his
fascisti legions, and his orders were re-
ceived with similar apparent obedience.
He announced his foreign and internal
policies and warned his adversaries that
the fascisti government had come to
stay. He did not ask, but demanded,
q vote OF confidence in his government
declaring that if the deputies refused
their mandates would be withdrawn.
His bitterest enemies, who had looked
forward to his encounter with the ex
perienced politicians on their own bat
tleheid. were disappointed. and that his
lrlends are saying that he is the great
est leader Italy has seen since Crispi
and that the fascist rule will endure.
Praised on Both sides.
Congratulations were showered upon
the youthful leader from all sides after
he had concluded his exposition of the

That Mussolini intends to reach a
quick vote was indicated when he re-
fused to permit the fifty-five orators
inscribed on the lists as intending to
speak on the governments communica-

Same Speech I'm Senate.
Points of the premier's speech meet
ing with special approval were his dec
laration that he did not need a majority
in parliament, his tribute to the king,
his reference to the army and insistence
upon order and tranquility in the
country.
The premier then went to the senate
and delivered the same speech, being
greeted with no less enthusiastic cheers.
Soon afterward he returned to the
chamber, where speeches were made.
