Future Opposition to

ROME, May 2.-(IP)--There is no
political party in Italy but that of
the Fascists-but political thinkers
are watching with enormous inter-
est, the growth of a movement tnat
one day may develop into a trans-
migrated form of the old Popular
party and become the parliament-
ary opposition to facism.
Under the searching eyes of Mus-
solini and his lieutenants, who have
sternly forbidden
any form of politi-
eal manifestation
unless fascist, and
under the equally
keen eyes of the
Vatican, this move-
ment, statistics
show, has gone. on
steadily expanding.
This recrudesence
centers inmCatholic
Action, a men's so-
ciety with tens of
{tiCIU501~ithousands of mem-
bers, with branches
in every city and every parish.
Catholics compose 95 per cent of
Italy's population.
The Popular party was Catholic.
Organized by Don Sturzo immedi-
ately after the world war, it had
more than 200 representatives in
the chamber of deputies in 1922,
when Mussolini came into power.
It was a democratic Christian
movement, openlypolitical.
vot Recognize(-.
I was not recognized by the Vat-
ican, although the public 'assumed
it had the Vatican's sympathies.
The present movement is more
orthodox.
A convention of Catholic Action
was to have been held at Ferrara
recently.' It had the blessing of the
pope, sent by him personally. Sud-
denly the government stepped in
and the convention was ordered
cancelled.
Another instance arose when At-
tufrney Traglia, president of the
Federation of Catholic Youth, a
section of Catholic Action, issued a
circular to all his branches exhort-
ing them to further activity. He ad-
vised them to extend their work
beyond the moral into the econom-
ic field.
Pressure Exerted.
Pressure was exerted, the execu-
tive committee of Catholic Action
met and Traglia was forced to re-
sign.
In the last few weeks the Lavoro
Fascista, Rome's ultra-fascist or-
gan, has consistently attacked
Catholic Action, declaring that the
organization had stepped beyond
the limits accorded to it by the
Lateran treaties.
Yet Catholic Action goes on in-
creasing in importance. With pub-
lic ceremonies, processions, lectures,
creation of new societies, it brings
itself ever more before the public.
Fascism is a powerful institution,
but its chiefs are watchfully wait-
ing. The moment the new move-
ment rears its head in earnest,
something is likely to happen.

tice;
Pleased surprise at the high qual-
ity of students' work and hearty
approbation of the University's plan
of giving students actual practice
in art in conjunction with a regu-
lar college course, were expressed
by Hermon A. MacNeil, distinguish-
ed American sculptor, who acted as
guest critic at the second annual
exhibition of student sculpture.
Due to the unusually large num-
ber of visitors who came on April
26 and 27, it has been decided to
keep the exhibition open all week
in the studios in University hall.
Detroiters who are interested in art
have been tendered a special invi-
tation to visit the exhibit today.
In discussing the work with Prof.
John G. Winters, director of the
division of fine arts, MacNeil ex-
pressed special satisfaction and
pleasure to find that practical work
in the arts was going forward in
the University in combination with
intellectual stimulants furnished by
the balance of a college course.
