Newspapers were unanimous in praising "the heroism of Italian volunteers" in Spain and their "de- cisive" part in the Spanish civil war. ' '

“Italy must arm herself to de- fend her interests." said the Tri- bune. “But we have a much larger field before us. Fascist Italy must carry out an ideal mission in de- fence of a threatened civilization",

Saying that Germagﬁ has the same motives, the tcrial con- tinued:

"The facts show that the forces of disorder. pushed to the wall by the energetic Fascist and Nazi re- action, are today more active than ever, and perhaps are considering a desperate sortie to break the circle which binds them closer

every day.

"Nobcd knows what consequen- ces mi h result from such a. state of aifa rs. Nobody can predict what may be the end of a criminal plan of the allies of the Kremlin (seat

Russia's government.)

“The duty of Italy in the pres- ence of these unknown factors is to be ready for any event. Only thus. and not y vain , may peace be defended."
