NEW YORK, March 20.-~Prince
Caetani, italian ambassador to the
United States, was consulted on
the organization Of Fascist groups
hare, it developed today.
Shortly after the ambassador q
arrival to represent Italy, Antonio
Carminati, member Of the New
York F'ascio established by agents
OF ,Benlto' Mussolini, Italian premier,
met the ambassador in the latter
part Of December, 1922, at the
Italian embassy in Washington,
and at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in
New York.
They discussed the formation OF
Fascist groups in the United
States. Prince Caetani, according
to Carminati, advised that it would
be of great advantage to the
Italians in America il a strong
organization could be assembled in
q bond with the mother country.
Messages to Caetani.
The Italian ambassador was con.
suited as a matter of rcspect !"
since the Prince Is not one of the
Fascist himself, Carminati stated.
On the other hand 10 the following
telegram sent to the ambassador

That the effort to establish
Fascios in the United States which
are completely obedient to the iron
discipline Of the Italian Fascist is
not recent is disclosed by Mussolini
himself in a policy announced be.
fore he secured control of the
Italian government. That policy
has since been put into effect.
In this announcement, made in
1921. but which is now being spread
broadcast among the Italians in
America, Mussolini declared that
within q year his agents would
establish Fascios In North. Central
and South America. the objects OF
these Fascios being to keep the
italian colonies" in foreign lands

Italian interests.
Several agents were sent here to
organize Fascios at that time, but
due to q lack of funds this effort
only partly succeeded.
