In connection with the murder of the deputy Matteotti, an unheard-of indignation has risen in Rome and throughout Italy, threatening serious disorders against the Fascists.

Mussolini has resigned. The King, however, has instructed him to form a government again, which is to include old political figures who are enemies of the Fascists, such as Orlando, Nitti and others.

Thus the absolute rule of the Fascists is coming to an end.
