a memorable date in the history of
Italian civilization. Italy, Europe and
the world now know that Fascism
has become the government in order
to personify the whole nation. Opposi-
tions are a thing OF the past"
The latest parliamentary attempt
OF the opposition was defeated in the
chamber when Mussolini asked that
motion introduced by Deputy
Ditrabia denying confidence in the
government be postponed for six
months, which meant refusal to dis
cuss it. In making the request Mus
solini said; Il don't want any more
votes of confidence. / have already
had too many; they don't mean any
thing"
The motion was withdrawn.
Denies Fathering Cheka.
Promising that his words would be
very clear. Mussolini went on to say;
You must understand that after a
march with my companions over
long road we must make a halt and
see if this same road can still be
traversed with the same companions
in the future.
TT is said that I have created
Cheka In what fashion? Nobody
can say this. They have a cheka in
Russia which executed without trial
10000 to 10000 persons. according
TO practically official statistics. There
is cheka in Russia which spreads
terror systematically among the
particular members of the Bourgeoise
"a cheka of which 1t is said 1t is
the sword of the red revolt.
But that never existed in Italy.
If / had founded a cheka in Italy
it would have been created in con-
sonance with the principles l have
always held-that violence has no
place in our history. 1 have always
told my followers, during our five
years of hard struggle, that violence
to be productive Of good must be of
a similar nature as a surgical oper-
alton, Intelligent and chivalrous. The
orgies of that so-called oheka were
due entirely to those lacking in in
telligence, disorderly persons and
idiots.
You may surpass the Fascist as
to historical experience and you may
criticize all the measures of the Fas-
cist government. I have yet before
my eyes a vision of that party in the
chamber where all, with deep atten-
tion, understood that at that moment
I expressed profound words and fixed
those common limits without which
political assemblies would be impos-
sible.
Says Foes Admit Success.
How could !, after such a success.
yes, such a striking success, admitted
even by the opposition-the chamber
then reopening in an almost idyllic
atmosphere-how could I dream, un-
less stricken by furious folly, of hav-
ing such a crime committed, or even
an Insignificant one against that ad-
versary who thinks that because he
has a certain clustering courage, 1t
resembles my courage. my ardor in
support of certain thesis?
ION many occasions ] have given
proof that my energy never lacked.
Never up to the present have I proved
unequal to :he course of events. In
IL hours I disposed of the revolt of
the Royal Guards; in a few days !
put down another serious munity.
These gestures of energy demon
strated that In me energy Is not lack

."what of ca apitaI punishment? 1t is
not pleasant, gentlemen. But 1T must
be put into the penal code, and after
this has been done, 1t must not be
used as a reprisal by the government.

Denounces Press Attacks.
The premier then discussed with ve-
hemence the newspaper campaign
against himself and his Fascist fol-
lowers. He characterized it as "a
filthy and miserable campaign, which
dishonored us very muck.
The most fantastic, the most hor-
ripilatious. the most Macabre lies
he said, were widely published by
all the newspapers. 1t resembled a
veritahle approach to necrophilism
