More than 5000 Neapolitans, in the first free political meeting since the' birth of Fascism, loudly applauded speakers who charged King Victor Emmanuel with moral responsibility for their oppression under Mussolini and called for his immediate abdication.

Members of Italian political parties took personal responsibility for maintaining order, and sanction was given on that basis. There were no 1 disorders.
