This article focuses on the political developments in the U.S. and around the world. There is scant support in recent events in Italy for the predictions or assertions of the decline of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini power. His electoral reform bill went through the Chamber of Deputies by a vote of 335 to 139, and after his speech in its favor he was carried in triumph on the shoulders of his adherents. The new system gives him undisputed control as long as the Fascisti can maintain themselves as the most numerous factions. That is, whatever party obtains a plurality of the votes, not necessarily a majority, will be entitled thereby to a two-thirds bloc in the Chamber.
