Fascism Gains Support In Italy as Nation Prepares For Election
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
XIX
ited Press Staff Correspondent) while its fate is being debated at treaty meeting in Paris, Italy in a political ferment which presses a radical internal change within weeks.
The first national election since Fascist era is scheduled for June. At the same time, the voters are decide by referendum whether they want a republic or a monarchy. The parties and factions engaged the struggle are varied, and there such a division of strength that aspects for a stable single-party government, or even a strong coalition, seem questionable. A weak government would provide an ideal opportunity for the Communists or even the sinister neo-Fascists to take a bid for control of the entry.
The Italians are looking to the pris conference of foreign ministers or some relief from their economic bees. If their stagnated industry and trade are burdened by heavy operations and other restrictions, effect might be unfortunate.
This political fight is being con-
fected in a land where the masses
are starvation close at hand, unem-
ployment is frightening, and a large
amount of the population is in a
angerous mood, receptive to almost
by promised cure.
The London Daily Mail carried a report yesterday from its special correspondent in Rome, Alexander Iford, in which the writer observed:
"Far too many people are already linking back to Fascism as 'the old days' and if this peace treaty 'siness is dodged or shelved or engled again, Italy may start being dangerous country once more."
Among the parties and groups inled in the campaign are the cristian Democrats, headed by Preier Alcide de Gasperi; the Sollists; the Communists; the Monbists; L'Uono Qualnque (comm man" party); the Democratic men (a rightist group headed by statesmen); and the Neo-
ground.
the first three parties: Christian
charis, Socialists and commun-
iune in the coalition govern-
eered by De Gaspari.
the Christian Democrats form the largest single party, but the Socialists' under-Vice-Premier Pietro Mili, have agreed on joint action the Communists, giving that combination an edge. De Gasperi has me out strongly against the Communists. All three parties will vote a republic against the monarchy, the Monarchists have no large city backing but a strong popularlowing. They are making an engenetic bid for Catholic support, and the church itself is believed to favor monarchy as a proven force for ability and order.

Prince of Naples, who would rule under a regency if chosen. He at least has the advantage of being free of the taint of Fascist association which mark his father and grandfather.
The Common Man party of Guglielmo Giannini is an unknown quantity but apparently has a wide following. Its appeal is to the middle class. It opposes Communism and wealthy industrialists and might support the monarchists, Giannini stoutly denies being Neo-Fascist.
The Neo-Fascists may be more dangerous than had been thought. The organization certainly exists in considerable numbers, and apparently is well-supplied with funds salvaged from the dying days of the Mussolini regime. Some comes from plundering bands of Neo-Fascists at large in the mountains. Some of it is reputed to come from Spain.
Its leader is Carlo Scorza, last of Mussolini's ministers, a hunted man who has successfully defied capture. The snatching of Mussolini's body from its grave and the recent outbreak at the San Vittorio jail in Milan have been taken as evidence of the increasing boldness and strength of this group.
Chinese Student To Return in June
Mou Hui King, Chinese student from Peking, who was one of the outstanding graduates of the School of Engineering in 1944 will be on the campus early in June visiting friends before his return to his home land.
He is scheduled to sail from San Francisco June 13, according to a letter he sent to the alumni office recently.
King went to a Milwaukee company for a time after graduation and recently has been on duty with the Chinese embassy in Washington. He says he expects to devote his life to the rehabilitation of China.
He came to the University through an acquaintanceship with the late Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who met his father, a graduate of Harvard and now a surgeon in a hospital in Peking.
