Feb. m-Right cf a foreign diplomat accredited to Ot- tawa. to advocate substitution of a dictatorship for a. democratic form of government, was questioned in fire House of_ . today. - It will be the su icct of government consideration and a statement in the House, possibly tomorrow. Humphrey Mitchell (Lab. Hamil- ton East) read an extract from a newspaper report oi a speech deliv- ered by Commandatcre Lui I. Pet- rucci, Italian Consul General in Canada, at a banquet of Italian or- ganizations herc recently. Mr. Petrucci was reported as say- ing: "1 can safely say of Canadian cithens of Italian origin that to them is reserved the great task of explaining to their fellow citizens the real meaning of the Fascism of Mussolini, so that it will be much easier for Canadian peopiq to adapt themselves gradually to the new economic and political system which is hardlypavoidablc." Mr. Mitchell's question was this: “Has the representative oi another country, enjoying diplomatic privil- eges, the right to advocate in effect the substitution cl a democratic form of government by that of a dictatorship? And what action does the government contemplate to cor- rect such interference in the domes- tic affairs of this Dominion?" "We shall have the matter consid- ered and give the honorable gentle- man an anwer tomorrow." was the reply oi Rt. Hon.
