AFFAIRS IN ITALY.
INTERNAL QUARRELS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, June ‘lO. The ’ special correspondent of the Times at Rome states that Signor Mussolini, in a speech in the Senate, attributed the recent outbreaks to the opening of Parliament. He denied that the Fascisti despised Parliament. Parliament merely eeased to be important because syndicalism dealt it a death blow. He did not intend to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage, namely, the assistance of the dregs of Italian political life. The correspondent adds: “Signor Mussolini was never in such danger politically. The country feels the discomfort of Fascist rule, while people have not yet had time to appreciate its benefit. There has been a rapid series of internal quarrels leading to resignations. lEven the Fascists themselves are at loggerheads, the question being whether Fascismo intends to be a constitutional government or a government based on force. Signor Mussolini knows that his is the only possible Government, yet that it would be defeated at the elections.-’
