ITALIAN REFORMS
LONGER-LIVED MINISTRIES. •Cross Association—By Telegraph—Copyright ROME, January 14. Signor Mussolini, writing in his magazine, Gerarchia, declares that the chief defect in the Government of Italy has been the frequent and unnecessary changes of Ministry. No statesman ever had time to finish what he began. It is believed that those opinions foreshadow a change in the Parliamentary system. Signer Mussolini is said to be preparing a Bill under which future Ministers will remain in rower for four years. Only the King will be empowered to demand their resignation.—A. and N.Z. Cable. MUSSOLINI, DICTATOR. RIDING FOR A FALL. LONDON, January 15. (Received Jan. 15, at 8.45 p.m.) The Daily Chronicle’s Rome correspondent scathingly criticises the devastatingly floodlike speed with which Signor Mussolini is inaugurating reforms. He says: Signor -Mussolini and his disciples are doing much good, but a lot in a wrong way. The general atmosphere, therefore, is unhealthy. Bor instance. 60,000 raihvaymen were dismissed, onlv Fascieti members being retained. The Government’s only fate for there who were dismissed is emigration. Signor Mussolini is reducing Parliament to the status of a helpless Reichstag, under a Kaiser. It is a mere debating society.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
