...royal signature was first affixed, last week, to a decree dissolving the last (27th) Chamber of Deputies of United Italy, which recently adjourned (TIME, Dec. 31). Even this chamber was none too democratic. Its members were elected under Dictator Mussolini's peculiar Acerbo Electoral Law of 1923. That measure gave 66?% of the seats to whichever party should lead the others and poll at least 25% of the popular vote. In a country such as Italy, where the chamber was normally composed of perhaps a dozen parties, none greatly preponderating, this law gave to the leading party (Fascismo) absolute...
...explanation was offered. None seemed likely to be offered. But shrewd observers remembered that in the next Congress Oscar De Priest will sit as Representative from the First District, Chicago.

They may perhaps have one or the other of our soloists-but that is not Bayreuth, is it? Could we ask you to give notice to the American Press that this whole enterprise has nothing on earth...
...this is set to comic music by means of a variety of devices, none of them very new but all skillfully executed and entertaining. It soon appears that the wife of the French ambassador has some incriminating letters from her husband's subordinate, the attache, that make the task of this young man more than ordinarily difficult and provide an abundance of embarrassing situations. Epigrams on the nature of virtue, love, and related matters help keep the dialog from sagging after a rather lame beginning, and there is some room for satire of a rather superior brand on the diplomatic...
