Keep in mind, Sirs that we 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...

Il Duce claims this stock for Italy, by right of conquest. Another 20% belongs to Italy undisputed, dating from the Mussolini-Laval accord (TIME, Jan. 21, 1935). The French are the largest shareholders, holding 35%, but fear Italy has bought up nearly enough shares elsewhere to own stock control...
