Local Censorship. The alleged attempt by the Socialist Zaniboni to assassinate Premier Mussolini (TIME, Nov. 16) was, of course, the excuse for much of this relentless clamping down upon anti-Fascist activities. News leaked through to the effect that Il Rivoluzione Liberale, noted anti-Fascist organ at Turin, had been suppressed; and at Rome a similar fate overtook the Avanti, Giustizia, Unita Cattolica and Voce Republicana, while other opposition papers such as Il Mondo and Il Risorgimento were "allowed to continue publication, although their entire issues were seized daily...

...knowledge that their despatches would be delayed by Mussolini's hidden censorship only when they said something that the black-shirted officials might resent. The only foreign journalists in Italy to be molested have been those whose opinions of Fascismo were not friendly-just as in Italy only anti-Fascist papers have been burned, only anti-Fascist editors have been beaten, only hostile plants have been wrecked...
