1t appears that the sudden resig-
nation of NJ Luigi Luzzatti, from his
post as Premier of Italy, some months
ago, was due to his opposition to the

report further AYERS that Luzzatti did
not wish to remain at the head of the
government when war with Turkey
would be conducted, so that the world
should not suspect that the opposition
to Turkey in Italy was conducted by
a Jew, fearing that this might injure
