ROME, Nov. 18 (Associated Press).
——Benito Mussolini Starts his career
as ltaiian Premier backed by a strong
vote. of confidence from Parliament.
The Fascisii Government was up-
held 306 to 117. alter a stormy session
of the Chamber yesterday, in which
the Socialists and other minority
groups broke their sullen silence and
hurled defiance and invective at the
Government bnches, only to be dis-
missed by Mussolini with contemptu-
ous remarks and waves of the hand.
He had demanded obedience from the
Deputies, and the majority bowed to
the inevitable.
To a protest over the manner in
which he had approached the Cham-
ber for its‘support, he replied curtly.‘
“I treated the Chamber the way it de-
served to be treated." ‘
Despite the vote of confidence.
many of the Deputies went home feel-
ing none too sure that the premier
would not dissolve the Chamber. So—
cialists who voted against the Govern-
me were heard to ask: “HOW long
is he going to stand for the sex-vile
attitude of {hose men who would have
had him shot a. month ago?” ‘ "
Others, however. feel that. by hold-
ing the present Chamber in the .110!-
how of his hand and flourishing the
weapon of "dissolution" over its head.

than with a. Parliament having a” solid
