ROME, Italy July 1.-Beniti Mus
solini's debating days are decidedly
over The blackshirt premiers at
tempts at intimidating and later ca
joling have failed to secure support to
his government after the last horri-
BILE crime, the murder of the Social
list deputy, Matteotti, and the expos
ures of Fascist grating.
The parliamentary opposition reit-
Grated to Mussolini its intention of re-
naming out of sessions until con-
stitutional government is re-estab-
lished in Italy. The opposition mem
bers reaffirmed the previous stand
that the Fascist militia must be dis
banded.
Not a "New" Cabinet.
Mussolinis move to reorganize the
cabinet with all parties represented
is a feeble and futile gesture. The
Liberals" Democrats" and "Catho-
lie Nationalist" which he will in
clude with Fascist in the new gov
eminent, are themselves in sympathy
with Fascism and Mussolini because
they were elected in the National
bloc. The real opposition parties are
not to be participators in the new cab
met.
The Social-Democratic opposition
parties may yet compromise again
with Mussolini and allow him to con-
stitutionalize the Fascist militia in
stead of disbanding these troops.
They would pass into the regular
army troops Just how far these So
cial-Democrats might go with the sup
posedly coalition" government is
doubtful The Communists are not
with them.
Ben to Blamel
The Social-Democrats express, in
the preamble to the resolution pre-
scented to Mussolini, bitter denuncIa-
ton of the Fascist for the murder OF
Deputy Matteotti, who had intended
to give proof Of high officials graft
ing with Standard Oil and Sinclair Oil
companies, and they report that at is
impossible to forget that the constitu-
ton. considers the president of the
council of ministers responsible be-
fore parliament and public opinion for
the actions Of his coIlaborators."
The opposition group, however,
with the exception of the Communists,
who are remaining out of the present
dickering and demanding Mussolini's
resignation, do not push their earlier
cry for ousting the Fascist premier
entirely.
The political situation remains un-
settled and uncertain, with Mussolini
on the wane.
Duninl Slew Workers.
The magistrates are nearly thru ex-
amining the dozen or so men held for
the kidnapping and murder Of the So
cialist deputy Matteotti. The wit
nesses, among them other govern
ment officials not yet involved, will
be called. The prisoners, most or
them former Fascist cabinet members
and other high officials, will be taken
to Lake Vico over the ground on
which the murder is supposed to have
taken place, in an effort to get them
to break down and tell what has ac-
tually been done with the slain mans
body.
Amerigo Dumini. chief suspect, has
so far been unable to get any attor-
ney willing to defend him. He has
many other black charges against
him, altho he seems to bear them
lght-heartedly.
Dumini was born in St. Louis, 20
years ago, Of a Tuscan father. He
fought in the lombard corps during
the war and afterward could not adj
just himself again. He is said to
have been guilty of more than a dozen
murders, committed when the work
ers took over the Italian factories.
