DAY OF WOE
OBSERVED IN ITALY OVER LOSS OF AFRICAN EMPIRE. SOME EMOTIONAL SPEECHES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) LONDON, May 9. Instead of being celebrated as Italian Empire Day, today will be observed as “the day of Italy's right to Africa.” The Rome radio, in an Empire Day message to Italians in Africa, declared: “The soil you inhabit is still an integral part of the motherland, although it has become a theatre for the shameless prowess of the Americans, who are revealing thenprimitive Redskin strain. Wait for us; we shall return.” Signor Teruzzi, Minister for Italian Africa, in a speech, said: “Our hearts are full of anguish over the Tunisian drama. Against the enemy’s barbaric superiority in material, we have given up some ground, but the battle continues. Our spirit is out there, solemnly on guard. One day that spirit will sow the seed of a new conquest.”
