times premier of Italy. succumbed
to uremic poisoning early today.
The famous statesman who was
known as the "OId Fox" of italian
politics. was eighty.five years old.
AT his bedside at the time of his
death were his daughter, Mary,
his son-in-law and his family physi-

BY the advent of Mussolini, Clio
-iitti was in the foreground of
italian politics. His long career
was marked by much diversity.
He first became premier in 1892.
Failing from power he won the
support of the socialists and again
became the leading figure of the
country. Later he supported the
Fascist in order to curb the So
cialists with whom he was then at
odds, only to find himself forced to
the background by Mussolini.
Recently he appeared in parlia-
anent to protest against the new
electoral law put into effect by
Mussolini. but the silence which
then greeted his remarks proved his
career as an Italian statesman was
at an end.
