Premier Benito Mussolini for the third time refused to permit Dr. Guglielmo Ferrero, famed anti-Fascist historian, to leave Italy, this time to attend the World Population Conference in Geneva. Il Duce's decision was made known by Dr. Ferrero in a letter sent to the seat of the League of Nations...
...remote places, where Fascists are in a minority, peasants are rebelling openly. At Inveruno, near Milan, an armed revolt was led by Don Galbiati, parish priest.

...passed by the Chamber last week, the Deputies had hardly ceased to vote when Fascist police and soldiers swooped down upon all known gathering places of antiFascists, ejected and in many cases arrested persons found there, and padlocked the buildings in accordance with the not yet legalized decree suppressing anti-Fascist gatherings of every sort. Followed swiftly an order by Secretary General Turati that all Italians and foreigners must salute the Fascist banner whenever and wherever it is displayed. The Secretary, a feverish zealot, also began a tour of Italy to examine Fascists suspected of disloyalty to the party...
