ROME. May 23-Mussolini will
stand in the same relation to the
twentieth century as arbiter of Euro
pean Jurisprudence as Napoleon did
to the nineteenth century. says AL
ferdo Rocco, the Duce's minister Of
justice.
Rocco believes the work Of re.
writing Italy's legal codes. which is
being carried out under his supeTvi-
sion on the Duce's orders. when com
pleted. will rank in point of juris-
prudential Importance with the re-
vised codes drawn up by Napoleon's 8
jurist aides.
"The Code Napoleon. the min
lister declared, ''is destined to be sue
ceeded in many important particulars
by the Code MussOlini.' lust as the
former triumphantly ~wept the entire
world. having a dominant influence
on the law OF the nineteenth century,
so the latter is bound to have far
| reaching international influence.
1--WE Of the Fascist revolution find
ourselves in much the same situation
as the French revolution in regard
to the necessity of revising codes
since with the spirit of the times and
the conception OF the state changed.
civil and penal legislation must be in
| spired by new dominant ideas. Thus
our code reform is political as we'll
as technical.
''Whereas codification was begun by
the French revolution and completed
| by Napoleon. it took 81 years. from
| 1890 until 1911. The Fascist regime
| hopes to be able to carry out it's
| similar task in less than half this
time. work having been begun in
| 1924
Commercial and civil procedure
codes have already been completed
and are only awaiting revision. which
will be finished before the end of the
year. Work has begun on mercantile
marine and penal procedure codes.
while the civil code. which Is con-
sidered the hardest and most inn
portant, is to be approached within
| f,w years. In addition. the present
Italian regime has virtually completed
! an entirely new code, constituting
| Bill of Rights of Labor which in
sense defines for the first time the
minimum rights and guarantees as
well as the duties of the laboring
| classes"
