TdIE events of recent days in Italy indicate that
. the Mussolini government and the fascist regime
have come to a seriously critical moment
The present situation is the result of two factors
partly parallel and partly intersecting: on the
one hand, the Strengthening of the anti-fascst feel
ing among the workers, the greater part of the
petty bourgeoise OF town and country the army
officers corps, ETC.; the other hand the strength
ening of the opposition tendencies in the fascist
camp itself against big bourgeois policy of Mus
Eoni and of the fascist government. In order to
keep down the threatening antfascist forces, Mus
soni finds himself compelled to make very extens-
Ave concessions to the opposition forces of the petty
bourgeoisie within his own camp
The most important measures for "the safeguard
ing of the regime" follows:
l. Dissolution of all nonIascist parties unions
and associations.
g. Suppression OF the entire non-fascst press.
g. Introduction of compulsory internment of san
those who have committed acts calculated to over.
throw the social economic national constitution
~ the state to endanger the security and to frus-
tate and hinder the activity of the state admins
tration as also those who declare their intention
10 do anything of the kind. ~
4. Formation of fascist political police service
at every headquarter-station of the fascist militia
s. Declaration of invalidity in regard to all pass
ports LOT ABROAD; severe punlshments Tor anybody
attempting to quit the country without a passport
and for those who give assistance in such an at
tampt: obligation To resort to of to prevent
anybody from crossing the frontier without permit
In addition TO these measures" the so-called Law
Tor the Protection of the State" was decided upon
by the ministerial council November 5th; in short
the law introduces capital punishment. The most
important provisions of this law are:
l. Capital punishment for those who make an at
tempt upon the life, or personal liberty Of
The king or his regents of the queen, the heir appar
snt or the prime minister
q Capital punishment for those who commit an
act calculated to subject the state to dependence
upon foreign countries CD TO threaten the indie
pendence of the state; for those who betray the po
ttical military secrets concerning the security
of the state and who possess themselves OF such
secrets.
8. Capital punishment for those who commit acts
calculated to ncite the citizens to armed nsurrec-
lion against the constitution of the state; for those
who take part in an insurrection and for those who
tncite to civil war.
4. Conspiracy for purposes OF any of the above
mentioned Grimes" will be punished with Is TO 30
years imprisonment; defense Of them in the press

Mussolini and the Spanish government on the other
hand to exercise pressure upon Mussolini and com
pei him to come to heel
The chief import Of the proceedings however Hes
at the moment in domestic affairs, and the problem
OF further developments is comprised by two ques-
hons: how will big capital act in regard to the reds
tribution-perhaps only momentary-of power in the
fascist camp and to the concessions made under
pressure of circumstance to the petty-bourgeots
fascsts? and how will the antifascst fol ces in the
country, in the first place the workers and the
masses of poor peasants, react to the intensified
dictatorship" l. e. to the limitless accentuaton OF
suppression and oppression.
In order to pacify the big bourgeoisie and to con-
vince them that the concessions made to the petty
bourgeoisie are merely sham concessions Mussolini
now offers the big bourgeosie unprecedented rob
berry of all the other classes in the country includ
ing the petty bourgeosie and also the lower and mid
die classes of the bourgeoise as well as Of the we'll

national propaganda" based upon the most ruthless
means of exortion, is to be employed to encourage"
private people also to invest in the "fascioloan"
By this means the bourgeoisie is gripped at it's
weakest point; this overt robbery of the whole ma,
ton is to serve expedient from the economic
crisis one Of the chief factors OF which Is an acute
capital crisis.
What will the present and future victims of thu
robbery namely, the of the petty bourgeoisis
and the seriously affected lower and middle classes
OF the bourgeoisie have to say to this "boldes naa
cial maneuver Of the word?"
The other question is: how will the workers ana
the masses of poor peasants take the latest intenat
hcation of the suppression and oppression thew havA
to suffer?
The prohibition of the parties hit the Communist
Party harder than any other party in Italy, for the
oher parties already scarcely had any Organization
worthy of mention. On the other hand during thu
long years Of rabid persecution, the Italian commu
mist Party has learned TO build its Organization so
firmly that 1t denes every effort of Mussoni to SUD-
press 1t.
