The leftist newspaper La Republica, which follows a Communist-like line, declared however that "there is nobody who wants revolution." War Danger Cited Answering its own question in a large headline. "Will there be revolution?" La Republica backed up its opinion by printing sample quotations from leading Italian politicians. Nitti's "manifesto to the nation," written after weeks of private negotiation trying to find some area of agreement among bitterly contesting forces, declared "we are witnessing a continuous, and always more dangerous, process of division among the parties and among Italians." Citing strikes and disorders which have taken a toll of 24 lives in about two weeks, NHti said "it is neces.sary to flee the specter of civil war." His solemn warning was drown(Turn to Page 12.

29 government reports of Communists' at scattered points in China in wintry Manchuria lent support today to estimates by neutral observers that the Communists were holding the initiative on all c-ivil war fronts. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, striving to counter the Communist blows, wound up a series of military conferences in Peiping, while his minister of national defense, Gen.

Both the government and the Communist-dominated General Confederation of Labor CCGT) wanted to return the workmen to their jobs by tomorrow.

In the Assembly, Communists resorted to every obstructionist method possible to slow passage of tho measure, which would provide imprisonment and fines for those molesting non-strikers, or inciting them to leave their jobs. Continuous Session Held At one point Interior Minister Jules Modi cried that if Communist obstructionism continued, the government would put the law into effect by decree.

The Assembly was in continuous session most of the night. The cabinet met almost without a halt in tho Assembly corridors.
