There is no doubt that U.S. and British bombings have created panic and terror in Italian cities ; that in their desperation the Italians have cursed the men who bring the bombs, forgetting that Italian bomb ers were active in Ethiopia and Spain and that Mussolini insisted on sending a token bombing force over Britain during the blitz.
