MUSSOLINI CLOSES
ITALIAN CHAMBER
Speech Outlines Fascist Policies as
Party System Passes
Into History.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, December 8.-Benito Musso-
lini today closed the Chamber of Depu-
ties. the last session of that body in
which the party system of election will
prevail. He delivered his speech after
the chamber in an exhuberant mood,
had passed by acclamation bills giving
the grand council of the Fascist party
a constitutional status and enacting
into law the Fascist labor charter.
The premier lauded the action of the
present chamber, saying that many of
its members would be returned to the
Fascist organization that is to succeed
it, and that others would be promoted
to the senate.
Discussing the attitude of Italy
toward the rest of the world, he en-
phasized that Fascisms policy was one
of peace, but that the party would be
chary about giving its cooperation to
others.
OF the Kellogg peace pact he re-
marked that its signing demonstrated
Italy's peaceful intention. He said the
treaty had been described as sublime"
and he added:
Perhaps it is really that, although
to some people it has appeared not
transcendary but discendental' We,
however, are ready to sign other treaties
of the same kind on condition that
they give sincere guarantees for peace"
