“After seeing the way the poor Italians have used every inch of land ’available—land which we would not take as a gift, one can realise that the Italian claims for land are not merely propaganda,” stated Rotarian A B, Hurst, in an address to the Napier Rotary Club. Mr. Hurst, when referring to the Italian claims ot land, was speaking on his visit to Naples and the surrounding district.
