HIGHER STATUS FOR MUSSOLINI
“LEADER OF ITALY AND FASCISM.” (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Rome, November 12. It is learned authoritatively that when the Fascist Grand Council meets on November 18 it will agree constitutionally to recognize the permanent title of Duce (which means leader) for Signor Mussolini, thus replacing his present title of Chancellor of the Empire. This acknowledges Signor Mussolini not merely as Leader of Fascism, but also of Italy. Hitherto in all official documents he has been referred to as Chief of the Government and as Duce only by the Fascist Party.
