ABOLITION OF PARLIAMENT.
srtissoLrra's suggestion.
GOVERNMENT BY EXPERTS. LONDON, November 30. The Rome correspondent of the "Daily TelegTaph" states that the Italian Chamber of Deputies has reassembled. Among the measures for immediate adoption is a renewal of the dictatorial power for another year.
The Premier (Signor Mussolini) is seriously considering the abolition of Parliament altogether. He expressed this view two days ago to a delegation of labour experts and industrialists. According to Signor Mussolini, a congress of experts with legislative powers might be more useful than a mere elective political body, which appeals only to vast masses by pandering to their ignorance, cupidity, and vices. Government should be for the benefit of the greater number, but not by the greater number. Signor Mussolini's conviction is that Parliaments representing only misguided, ignorant, and capricious masses are obsolete, and no longer fulfil any usefu> function in the modern State.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
