UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IS LABELED FICTION Legislators Vote, 161 to 45, to Adopt Measure, Already Passed by Chamber of Deputies. By the Associated Press ROME, May 12.—Premier Mussolini today won the support of the Italian Senate for the new electoral law mak- ing Italy a one-party constituency, by a speech in which he again termed uni- versal suffrage a conventional fiction and argued for the abolition of all par- ties except the state. The Senate voted 161 to 45 to adopt the law which the Chamber of Deputies had already approved. Mussolini told the senators that the bill was as much a consequence of Fas- cist doctrine as it was a result of the de facto situation in the country. It is not only to make the entire chamber of one party and one political color, but to acknowledge syndicalism as the or- gan of public law. Legislative Novelty. “This is a great legislative novelty of the Fascist revolution,” he said. “It means that syndicalism, having be- come an organ of the public law, is no state, but within the state, acknowledged by it. and as such has the right to rep- resent all categories of citizens. “Besides, in the regime of partles are the people really sovereigns, especial- ly when we have reached such a point that 35 tickets of 35 different parties have asked the people to exercise their paper sovereignty. In the regime of parties, elections are really made by uncontrollable comiittees and the peo- ple are asked only to ratify cholces al- ready made. “I have no scruple in stating that universal suffrage is a purely conven- tional fiction. It says nothing, means nothing and gives the most divergent results.” Constitution Temporary. Taking up the accusation that the t 18 not the con- n stitution, Mussolini ed: “Has any- body ever thought that the constitution is eternal, instead of temporary?" ' " he went on, “article :} Man says ‘all constitutions can be re- vised because no generation has the ht of submitting to its laws the nerations.’ things eternal are religious following “The only . for instance; un- laws—the decalogu: chan; le. its 10 articles are tudes and latitudes. Rather, coi tutions are merely the result of special circumstances.” ‘The premier then took up the history of the Italian constitution. He pointed from the little Pledmont of 1848, when the constitution was granted, Foresees Progress. If so great and important progress has been achieved in the last 80 years, he sald, it is easy to imagine what developments Italy will have during the next 50 or 80 years. Especlally “if the present concord of all citizens will last, if the state will continue to be the arbiter of every political and social controversy, if everything be in the state, nothing outside the state, be- cause today 1t 1s impossible to con- celve of an individual outside the state except a savage Individual, who can the sands of the desert.” MINISTER IS FOUND SEVERELY INJURED| ystery Surrounds Discovery of | Rev.

By the Associated Press. Senate Republicans heid the main plank of their $200,000.000 tax reduc- tion scheme in the revenue bill yester- day in obtaining a 12!; per cent cor- ration tax, but only after Democrats ad upset their program earlier by vot- ing into the bill a graduated scale of lower rates on corporations with small incomes. As on previous votes in the tax con- test, the divisions were on party lines. The 12% per cent corporation rate was put into the bill'over the 11': per cent figure approved by the House by a vote of 40 to 34.
