FASCIST RULE IN ITALY
DRASTIC LAWS PASSED ALL OPPOSITION BANNED WIDES PRE A D ESPIONA G E By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received Nov. 22, 5.5 p.m, London, Nov. 22. The Daily Chronicle's special correspondent, who has lately been in Italy, states that the country is being placed under a most diabolical "Dora” (Defence of the Realm Act which was in force in Great Britain during wartime) it is possible to. conceive. All political parties except the Fascist are being abolished, only Fascist newspapers are allowed to exist, and unofficially lists of hostages, and of people who will be summarily executed if anything happens to Mussolini, are being drawn up throughout the country. “What justice,” the correspondent asks, “will a political prisoner receive from an officer of the army and five members of the Fascist militia? The whole procedure will be that of a courtmartial in wartime. No one will dare tr give evidence for the defence before such ti packed tribunal. "A system of espionage is also being built up, through the concierges, which will reach every household.”
