The Council will have before it every constitutional question, and
in particular will determine matters con- cerning the succession to the Throne, the King's pre- rogatives, and the membership of the Senate and the Chamber. Incidentally the Council has sanctioned the creation of new Senators who were nominated by Signor Mussolini himself. This is the Duce's short and sharp way of preventing the Senate from being as restive and critical as it was a few months ago. The new Chamber is not due to meet till April. Its functions have not yet been defined, but early in the new year We shall see in a more realistic way than has yet been possible how the corporative bodies will choose their representatives for the Chamber and what kind of men they will choose. Of course, these representatives will never be able to reach the Chamber without the approval of the Grand Council.
