CRISIS FACES FACISM.

'Mussolini’s Notable Speech. RIFT WITHIN PARTY. B r Cabla —Pr»s» Association—Copyrlfht, Australian and N.Z. Cable Association LONDON, Amril 5. The “Daily Herald’s” special correspondent at Ohinsso, says Signor Mussolini’s long speech at the 'Fascist Grand Council last week was not, as given, out, a review of the foreign position, but dealt with the internal position, especially the crisis within the Fascist ranks. Tlie withdrawal of Signor Farinacci from the secretaryship did not settle tho profound rift in the party, in fact his successor Signor Turati inherited a, situation of contusion and disorder. The most significant indication is Signor Mussolini’s decision to make the control of the Fascist Management Committee Ins own task. One phase of the struggle is the demand for a general election. Signor Federzoni, is reported as willing to' negotiate an electoral alliance with the Vatican is head of the industrial group, and is anxious to pacify the opposition aroused by the Fascist po’icy.
