...fathers & mothers of Potenza and their highly numerous offspring thronged around him with cheers, Orator Mussolini cried: "Those who have a right to Empire are the fecund peoples-those people who have the pride and the will to propagate their race on earth-VIRILE PEOPLES in the strictest meaning of those words!" In what appeared to be a slap at France, the Dictator contemptuously declared: "Peoples with empty cribs cannot create an Empire-and if they have an Empire the time will come when it will be extremely difficult for them to keep or defend...
