Tho final list of candidates will he drawn up by the Fascist Grand Council from lists submitted by professional or Labor federations or other public bodies. The electors will vote “Yes” or “No.” A majority of one will be sufficient to secure tho adoption of the whole list; similarly with rejection, in which case a new list will be drawn up and the. election repeated. [A cablegram from Rome on November 12 of last year read as follows: — “The Fascist Grand Council has approved of a scheme whereby Italy will
become one vast constituency for the purpose of electing a new form of Chamber of Deputies of 400 instead of 560 members. One Nationalist list of approved candidates will be submitted to the electors, who are limited to those useful to tho State.”]
