What apparently hurt Italy's feelings most, however, was the sale of U.S. planes to France. Popolo di Roma denounced the "scandalous supply of planes to France" and expressed belief that this was a violation of the U. S. Constitution, which it is not. Warning France not to believe that U. S. help would be forthcoming in a war, Popolo d'ltalia said: "This is one of the most colossal delusions into which France has ever fallen. Because, if despite the efforts of the totalitarian states to insure a just peace, war should break out, before...
...week Italian bakers started hauling the new loaves from their ovens and housewives scornfully labeled it "grey bread." Since the decree, a great propaganda campaign has been staged to convince Italians that the new bread is better for them.

Whole streets are razed as punishment for acts whose perpetrators the British authorities are unable to detect and do not wish to investigate. . . . Laws which for thousands of years have guaranteed Justice to civilized mankind are openly trampled on and innocent citizens are punished for deeds for which they bear no responsibility. . . . The news from Palestine cannot but arouse a sense of horror throughout the civilized world...
...Duce, after his grandiose reception by Der Führer (TIME, Oct. 4, et seq.) was in an exalted mood last week. About the time the President was speaking in Chicago, the Dictator's Milan newsorgan Il Popolo d'ltalia was printing an editorial in which Mussolini hurled blanket defiance at "capitalism, parliamentary democracy, Communism, liberalism and a certain wavering Catholicism, with which we shall settle accounts in our own fashion some day or other, are against...
