...will see more and more of this kind of propaganda. The Bolshevik know that they must destroy Fascism or Fascism destroy Bolshevism; England never forgive or forgot the humiliation inflicted to her by Italy at the time of Ethiopian War and never swallow the bitter pill of lost the control of the Mediterranean Sea, Hitler talk too often of the return of the German colonies, so John Bull do his best to discredit these two countries, so in case she prepare a war against them, she will have an alibi and blame Hitler and Mussolini to have provoked...

...Roman Governor, now thoroughly alarmed, waited watchfully. "Nero's" rule, at first wildly popular, grew into hated tyranny as "Nero's" hangers-on, whom Varro found it harder & harder to control, made hay by killing and confiscating right & left.
