Anti-French Feeling Flames Up in Italy
FRESH OUTBURST ATTACK ON POINCARE Times Cable. Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Monday. The Rome correspondent of “ The Times ’’ says that Signor Mussolini’s expressed sympathy with the demonstrations against Modugno's sentence will hardly improve Franco-Italian relations. Modugno murdered the Italian viceconsul in Paris last year. It is true that the demonstrations have practically ceased, but a wave of anti-French feeling continues, especially in connection with M. Poincare's declaration that if France gave up the Syrian mandate “another country with Imperialistic tendencies” was ready to step into its shoes. This has produced a fresh outburst. The “Tribuna” violently attacks M. Poincare, declaring that he deliberately uttered the statement in order to stir up anti-Fascist feeling. It accused M. Poincare of being Italy’s inveterate enemy. Meanwhile other cases are reported of Italians returning French decorations, while Italian women are urged never again to wear French dresses, drink French champagne, or use French scents or beauty preparations.
