MUSSOLINI AND BOLSHEVISM.
"When I turn to reflect upon our relations with' London during the last two years I am led to conclude at bottom there has been a great misunderstanding. Opinion has lagged behind. There exists a superficial and picturesque knowledge of Italy, of that picturesqueness which I detest. This young, resolute, mighty Italy is not yet known. We do not ask the officials at Geneva to register a birth. We do think, however, that the time has come to register a death. For the last 13 months there has been a dead man in history. Bury him in the name of public health. Let it be said in the most categorical manner that we will not tolerate in the Mediterranean Bolshevism or anything of a similar nature. Whenever these disturbances created by a people ' absolutely foreign to the Mediterranean have been warded off, I shall be pleased to issue an appeal for peace to all those countries which are bathed by that sea where three continents have brought tbgether three civilisations. Should this appeal not be heard, we are perfectly cairn, because Fascist Italy contains such forces, spiritual and material, that she can face and mould to herself any destiny."^ ^ignor Mossolini * ^ **"* "
