Rome, Qet. 11.-- Premier Musso- linl's assumption of the position of commander-in-chief of the Fascist National militia with the rank of Generalissimo, succeeding Prince Gongzaza, who resigned with the ges- ture of devotion to "Fascist discl- pline." was approved by the autumn session of the grand council of the x PREMIER MUsSsunaN{ EE ma, Fascist party Sunday.

While there is some anxiety re- garding Mussolini's future plans, the present tendency in Government quarters here is to minimize peril, as ofticf# believe that inas- | much as Italy was a signatory ol the Locarro treaty, and is also | member of the League of Nations, | { Mussolini would not take any | action liable to provoke ap open out- | break, but would seek to secure his| | atms by peaceful means. ! Certainly it is not believed.that { Italy is preparing for war with Tur- key. No attempt is made to dis- guise the anxiety in other circles! where there is a tendency to believe | that Sir Austen Chamberlain, Brit- ain's Foreign Secretary, ig too close- ly linked with Mussolini for the good of Europe. In labor circles it is as serted that Chamberlain has used Mussolini's threat of war to force Turkey to be reasonable regarding but this has always been strenuously denied. ~ It is admitted that Chamberlain's! policy is directed toward peace, but it is ssserted that he plays with fire. It Is understood that Chamber- lain will explain his Italian policy to the delegates at the Imperial Con- ference when it meets this month.
