Grave Diplomatic Blunder Charged» By Prrme Minister ' Italian ilonsulfa-eneraFs State- ment Condemned As “Ill-judged, Ill-advised And Quite Improper”.

(C. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) ‘

OTTAWA, March 2—Canada will make immediate rep- resentations to Rome to recall Luigi Petrucci if the Italian Consul-General makes another diplomatic blunder, Prem- ier King assured the House of Commons today.

The Prime Minister agreed with J. S. Woodsworth, C.C.F. leader, that Petrucci made an iii-judged, ill-advised and quite improper speech in Montreal over the weekend by expressing his regret Canada applied sanctions against Italy. This was an attempt to take sides on a political} question, Mr. King said, and if made by a full-fledged minister, would result in his recall.

TAKES LENIENT v_mw

The Prism Minister said he would lake the more lenient view that Pets-acct made an error oi Judgment but ii he repeated "the government will have no optima brrt to snake immediate representations to the country concerned."

Earlier in the day, Mr. Woodsworth said he load been hslormdd illll with Poor-nooks “connivance there was being built up a secret society [or the suppression oi anti-Fascism." Oiilcials, Mr. Wcodaworth laid he had been told, were paid by the ltalhn sevcmneno and practised intimidation over Canadian citizens.

Enlisted Recruits I According to evidence given to the 0.01‘. leader by a Montreal delegation some time ago, Peirucci held a nsceting at which he enlisted recruits into the Fascist organis- ation. According t0 the inform- ation, members were asked to take the ioiiowing oath: "In the namo oi God and Italy I swear to ox- eouto the orders oi I1 Duce and to serve with all my strength and, i! neoosary, with my blood, lira cause o! the Fascist revolution.” _ Appraise‘- -‘ alter the incident in the House. Petnrcci said he had no comment to make. I-le has been stationed in Ottawa several years. According to the 00F. leader, the Fascist organzi tion intimidat- ed Canadian citizens. Alter the House he said he had been in- iormed the society threatened to ostracise Italian-Canadians who did not join. He. had been told “threats were made, not merely o! bodily harm to Canadian citizens here but. also to relatives oi Can- adian citizens who were still in Italy."

Tho 0.0.7. leader said ho had given to the Eirtzrnal Aiiairs De- partment 'aii the evidence relayed to him and he thought, it should be investigated carefully.

Bnwh QIIW .- .

The Prime Minister made no re- ieronce u, an investigation ai- thoisgh he expressed his opinion the speech in Montreal was "in the circumstances, quite improper."

Mr. Woodsworih asked ii the in- terests oi naturalized Canadians would be protected.

"Certainly the government will not permit intimidation oi any residents oi this country ii it la at all within its power to prevent it," replied the Prime Minister, sddipg, “and I imagine it has iuil power to that end."

According to Mr. Wcodsworth, Potrucci spoke as iollows in Mont- real: "I cannot retrain from cir- presslng my sorrow because Can- ada is applying sanctions ~against Italy, sanctions which are dange - ous because they can bring another world war and which have dc- stroyed Ionic-Canadian tr a d e . which only a iew months ago the two countries were trying to'im- wove by means oi a new com- mercial convention.

far had been limited in develop- ments oi the Italo-Etlnopta-n war.

German circles said Gcrmsny would welcome a iii-WWI’ II!!!‘ ment but not one which would in- ciude Russia. Eden was rtprosent- cd as iavoring the three-nation pact which might later be opened to Italy and Russia.
