...Court, unmoved, proceeded with the taking of testimony tending to prove that Tito Zaniboni had seven accomplices, one of them Gen eral Luigi Capello, and all subsidized by the Grand Orient Lodge of Italian Freemasonry, which Il Duce regards as the most pernicious force opposing Fascismo...
...Bulgaria, Greece and Albania; and on the fourth side lies the Adriatic, with Italy just across its silvery waves. Italian states-craft has always the object of seizing the Adriatic shore of Jugoslavia along which Italians already own 96% of all producer wealth: factories, steamship lines, etc. Therefore, if Il Duce could establish close rapprochement with all the countries bounding Jugoslavia, he would have laid the noose for hog-tying that realm.

There, where Fascist de Pinedo is regarded as a fit first mate for Christopher Columbus, headlines snarled: "VILE CRIME AGAINST FASCISM," "ODIOUS ACT OF ANTI-FASCISTS." A villain was even named by name, one Vacirca, an exile. Proudly piped Il Piccolo: "STRONG WILL OF MUSSOLINI WILL CONTINUE FLIGHT." Commander de Pinedo proceeded to Los Angeles (and doubtless to Hollywood), to wait...
