The opening of the first all Fascist Parliament which is the first to lie elected under the new system of cooperative election, was marked by scenes of unusual fervour.
Their Majesties, the Crown Prince, and other Royalties, drove through lieflagged streets and cheering crowds, amid the booming of guns and pealing of bells, while aircraft manoeuvred overhead.
Crowds acclaimed the King at the Palace' after the ceremony.
The speech from the Throne emphasised the accomplishment of national unity, a new era opening in Italian history.
Two.events touched the soul of the Italian people, firstly, the result of the elections, which proved on what vast, disciplined forces the Government could I‘ely.
Secondly, the Vatican agreement, which eliminated the Roman question and lifted a weight from the country’s mind.
it also realised the country’s unity territorially and spiritually. The speech outlined measures for “ strengthening the state and intensifying its action.” Hills are being introduced to carry out the Concordat.
