ROME. February 3-A bill abolish
irg universal suffrage in Italy and be-
slowing the right to vote only upon
those who contribute TO the progress OF
the nation was approved today by the
Grand Council Of the Fascist party. The
project makes Italy 8 one-party nation.
Premier MuSSolini took a leading part
I'm the debate which preceded adoption
Of the plan and presided at the council
meeting.
The Grand Council of the Fascist
party last November ordered the min
lister of justice TO draft law which
would effect a revolutionary change In
the government OF Italy.
The project proclaimed that only one
party exists in Italy. namely FaScism
and therefore there will be but one elec-
toral ticket. The conception Of the right
Of franchise as outlined at that time
was that it was privilege TO be won by
public service. The would-be voter must
first prove that he was worthy to take
share in shaping the nations destiny.
The council proposed:
To unity the country's economic
forces into Is great guilds OF producers
and workers.
To form the entire territory of the
nation into a single electoral college.
To grant the right to vote only 10
those who on the basis Of their syndi-
calist contributions showed themselves
10 be active elements in the life of the
nation and those who are usetul 10

and second, that he discovered a new
kind OF romance
Rostand. the speaker said. vas one

Dr.. Anspacher told the gathering
