...said, President Roosevelt was pictured as an "enemy of peace," "AntiFascist No. 1." Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels sicked the entire German press on the President, but nothing out of Germany last week compared in vitriol, scorn, ridicule and invective to what was being written in Italy. There, Virginio Gayda, Dictator Benito Mussolini's journalistic mouthpiece, declared in Giornale d'ltalia that the President's words were an "open provocation to war," that President Roosevelt "himself plans and welcomes armed conflict." Since the U. S. frontiers are now the Rhine, Signor Gayda said, Italy...
...People "of the Hebraic race" who have settled in the Kingdom of Italy, Libya or Italian Aegean Islands since Jan. 1, 1919 were last week ordered by the Italian Cabinet to depart before March 1, 1939 or be forcibly expelled. Commented No. 1 Fascist Newspundit Virginio Gayda: "These Jews, political or racial refugees of other countries, represent a foreign and perilous body and spirit inserted in the body and spirit of the Italian nation." The decree will oust about 20,000 of the estimated 85,000 persons in Italy "born of both parents of the Hebrew race." Next...

Campinchia "renegade , Corsican" whose speeches are "the nefarious ravings of a sectarian madman with criminal leanings" and who writes "filthy prose, worthy only of a meeting of drunkards...
...Fascists thought that by muzzling Catholic Action they had washed up ''any conflict or dissension between State and Church"-Mussolini's spokesman Virginio Gayda immediately so declared-they were sadly mistaken. On Sunday the Pope walked alone out of his summer villa at Castel Gandolfo (something he had never done before), delivered a vigorous impromptu address to missionary students summering nearby. Said he: "Beware of exaggerated nationalism as of a real curse. ... It is a real curse of divisions, of strife almost amounting...
...Georges Bonnet urged Leftist Spain to think twice before sending bombers over Italy, warned Premier Dr. Juan Negrin's Government that it could expect little sympathy or aid from France in that event. In Italy, the controlled press fumed at "Red Spain." Benito Mussolini's journalistic spokesman, Virginio Gayda, writing in Giornale d'Italia, said Italy's answer to Leftist bombs "will be immediate and implacable, not with diplomatic notes of protest, but with cannon." Italian Chargé d'Affaires Renato Prunas warned M. Bonnet in Paris: "We shall reply to acts of war with...
