MUSSOLINI'S LATEST

Mass ProductionTM Of Young Italians

Rome, Oct. 26.

Alarmed at the increasing de- cline in Italian birth rate, the Fas- cist Party have organised a Festi- val of Marriage to be held on Oc- tober 30, when two thousand sour ples will be married in Rome and the neighbourhood.

Following the ceremony, the couples will attend Mass and then march in procession through streets of Rome to the Fascist Headquarters where each couple will receive a present from Signor Mussolini.

Mass baptism of babies will also take place at St. Peter's church where Signor Mussolini has pro- mised to present each infant with a complete outfit.-Reuter.

An Amendment To Restrict- Votes Of Shareholders'

Nanking. Oct. 19. The Central Folitical Commeil uns tentatively adopted an amendment to Aricle 129 of the Company. Law which calls for the restriction of: the votes of shareholders having more than eleven shares. The pro- posed amendment will be forward- ed to the Legislative Yusri for examination and formal adoption.

The Article in question provides that each shareholder of the Com- pany shall have one vote (at share- holders' meeting) for one share, but that the number of votes of shareholders having more than eleven shares shall be restricted by the constitution of the Company. It is further provided that the total amount of votes a shareholder shall be entitled to exercise, either in his own behalf or as proxy for other shareholders, shall not in any case exceed one-fifth of the total number of votes.

It is suggested that companies in which the Government is a share- holder, as well as those operated jointly by Chinese and foreign interests. be exempted from the restriction. Kuo Min.
