A CLOUD OF FICTION.
WILL EUROPE PERISH? LEAGUE CRITICISED BY SIGNOR MUSSOLINI THE WHOLE OF SPAIN BEHIND GENERAL FRANCO. (United Press Assn.—Elco. Tel. Copyright.) (Received July 26, 11.10 a.m.) ROME, July 25. Signor Mussolini, in an article in the Popolo d’ltalia entitled “Facts and Fiction”, asks: “Will Europe perish wrapped in a cloud of fiction?” He recalls various episodes in contemporary European history which he says belong to the realm of fiction, such as the reparations unsuccessfully imposed on Germany, and the elaborate system of inter-allied debts which nobody believes can ever be settled, but which everybody continues mentioning as a reality. Signor Mussolini continues: “The organisation which creates and keeps up the political fiction is a League of alleged universality, the pacific nature of which is also completely fictitious.” Signor Mussolini says it is absurd to refuse to grant General Franco belligerent rights, for behind him the whole of Spain of to-day and to-morrow is fighting for its life and prosperity. General Franco’s position should be dealt with in a spirit of realism. This is the condition for the life of the whole of Europe.
