...friend to foe. For the most part Italian-speaking, individualistic, the Maltese have always leaned less toward the Britain that owns them than toward the Italy that is near them.* The Fascisti retaliate with friendship, bitterly realizing that possession of Malta gives Britain virtual command of the Mediterranean. Lately, Fascist and Maltese editors have been hoarsely agitating for the return of Malta to Italy. Last week, over the signature of Friend Lord Strickland an order was issued which 1) Forbade circulation of any newspapers or pamphlets containing anti-British or anti-Strickland propaganda. 2) Imposed penalties of three years imprisonment...
...courtroom was packed with a hand-picked Fascist audience. Sitting dully in the iron-barred prisoner's cage, a white-gloved carabineer on either side of him, Cesare Rossi listened while Prosecutor Michele Isgro came quickly to the following peroration...
When a millionaire socialist named Matteotti was brutally murdered by Fascists and his body flung in a ditch (TIME, June 23, 1924), there was a worker in Fascist ranks named "General" Cesare Rossi.

Never before have I felt so strongly all the living actuality...
...Ministry of Corporations goes to scintillant polemist and war veteran Giuseppe Bottai. As editor of Roma Futurista, Epoca and Giornale di Roma at various times he has had broadest experience with men and masses. As Minister of Corporations he will supervise not great in- dustrial enterprises but the Fascist syndicates or "Corporations" which are really employes' unions and employers' associations. Today with strikes ruled out by Fascist bayonets all Italian labor disputes are settled through the Ministry of Corporations, and Ex-Editor Mussolini has paid the highest compliment to Ex-Editor Bottai by giving...
