VIII Demand That All Sc
curities Be to Bearer In
stead of Owners Name
TO ABOLISH BUREAUCRACY
Proposes to Enforce Economy
Instead of Increasing
Taxation.

ROME, Nov. (Associated Press). -
1t is the intention Of Premier Mus
solini to suppress all state monopolies
and steamship subventions and to In
trust the railways, telephones, tobacco
manufactures, posts and telegraphs,
the parcels post and other monopolles
to private companies. All these pub
lie services at present represent loss
of billions of lireWearly. while twenty
five years ago they formed the back
bone of the finances of the State. It
Is said some three billion lire would be
these utilities.
Mussoini on the reopening of Par
lament will ashland the belief is that
he undoubtedly will obtain--full pow
ers for the Government to deal with
the bureaucratic organizations as he
considers best. Another important do
cision Is to insure the maintenance of
all securities of the State and OF pri-
vate concerns to bearer.
According to a bin presented in Par
bdbShb Wy ioiillcl ICtIlltI stIiu
conflrmeo by Premier Facta they
should all have been transferred into
tho names OF holders. This caused
heavy losses. especially because foreign
holders OF Italian securities sold them,
not wishing TO render themselves liable
20 taxation.
The authority. energy and earnest
ness with which Mussolni has taken
hold OF italian affairs has created
deep impression. His imperative in
structions TO Count Sforza to remain at
his post In Paris until he had reached
a decision in the cases OF Ambassadors
who offered to resign and his circular
to the projects "exactng" their utmost
endeavors and collaboration were re-
garded as strong indication of the
method the new Government Is going
to use in dealing with the business at
home and abroad Postponement of the
opening of the Chamber of Deputies
from November TO November Is has
caused some disappointment. Musso-
lini Is reported to desire little more
time to prepare the speech outlining
his program and to consult leaders OF
the various groups and parties In the
chamber.
The new Premier, IN addition to work.
ing fifteen hours daily. "exacts'--this is
a favorlte word OF his-that all his
Ministers also shall work hard. He has
allotted to each member a task. deslr-
ing to solve nj a relatively short time
the difficult problems that since the war
have found no solution.
Mussolini Is of the opinion that the
most urgent question or all is the bal
ancing OF the budget, believing II i'm
possible further to increase taxation, as
il has reached the extreme limit beyond
which revenue decreases rather than
ausments, owing TO the collapse of pro-
duction. He has decided that the in
evitable remedy Is a decrease in ex-
pcnses.
lie has determined to suppress all
useless offices and do away with any
unnecessary civil servants, believing that
great economy can be obtained In very
short time by courageously suppresslng
all the bureaucratic parasites that have
arisen from the state or socialism in
augurated by Cabinets subservient to
subversives, who wished to transform
the entire country into mass OF civil
servants In order TO Use them as q pow
crfui electoral machine"
The Premier also has informed all the
Minister'S that they must be present,
unless there are extenuating circum-
stances. at every council meeting. as he
wishes the members of his Government
20 give a much needed example to the
nation.
The quarters OF all Communist or
ganizations in the town OF Bari have
been sacked and burned by Fascist. ac-
cording to dispatch to the Epocd. Free
fights occurred in various parts OF the
province, especially at Andria and
Bftonto.
