K ing Victor E m m anuel has acted to cu rb th e d ictato rial pow ers ol
P re m ie r B enito M ussolini, rem inding him th a t th e King alone could call
a general election, which M ussolini had ordered. King V ictor E m m anuel
is said to d esire to abdicate, but will n ot do so because Crown Prince
U m berto is too young to rule a t thia critical tim e. Giovanni G iolitti is
th e newly-acclaim ed leader of th e liberal elem ent In Italy, and may seize
th e G overnm ent if M ussolini falls. A t th e tim e the S ocialist deputy,
M atteoti, w as m urdered, th e K ing forced th e retire m e n t of U nder Sec­
re ta ry of the In terio r Finzi, who, believing M ussolini had m ade him the
goat, w rote a com plete m em orandum of th e M atteoti a ffa ir which Is said
to involve leading Italians. T hese m em oranda a re said to have been
purchased by Luigi A lbertlhi, leading antl-F ascisti new spaper p roprietor
w ho will spring them a t th e proper tim e, it is said, and cause another
political upheaval in Italy. A house-to-house search for th ese papers
