udLlOual calls lot FeleuLleSS struggle
position to the fascist terror and cal
unitedly work for a workers and
farmers government:
"A new wave OF fascist violence has
swept Italy. The fascist persecution
of the economic organizations Of
workers and farmers has been going
on necessarily for the last three
years. Thousands of workers and
farmers cooperative stores have
been raided and pillaged. The bulk
of the trade unions and of the farm
ers' organizations have been destroy
ed by the fascist. Only recently a
fascist band, with the support Of the
Italian movement, forcibly seized the
headquarters of the national league Of
workers co-operatiyes at Milan.
after raiding and closing of about
5000 cooperative stores run by the
league, the remaining 1000 co-opera-
tives of the league have been placed
under fascist control.
"In answer to the terror, violence
and prisons of the fascists and their
government, bring your ranks even
closer together, workers and farmers
of Italy, and wage a common fight
for the overthrow OF the fascist pow
or and for the establishment of a
workers and farmers government.
Brothers and fellow farmers thru
out the world: Rise to the defense
of the workers and peasants coop
eratives of Italy. Do not forget that
the cause of the Italian workers is
your very own. If the farmers and
workers fail to create a united fight
ing front both nationally and inter-
nationally for the defense of their CO.
operative and other organizations,
the fate of the Italian and Bulgarian
farmers and workers co-operatives
will become the fate Of the co-opera-
tives in other countries.
"At mass meetings and conference
es, in street demonstrations and in
parliament, let your mighty voice of
indignation and protest be heard
against the fascist bands and the fas-
! cist government. Protect the work
ers and farmers co-operatives of
Italy from utter destruction and an
initiation. Demand the restoration of
the raided and closed co-operatives,
demand the payment of compensation
for the losses sustained by the CO.
operatives thru raiding and closing,
the liberation Of the imprisoned Co
operators and the unhindered repa-
triation Of the co-operators who were
forced to emigrate.
Farmers and workers thruout the
world: Declare before the whole
world your solidarity with the strug-
gle of the workers and farmers of
Italy. Raise your protesting voice
against the violence OF the Italian
government, the government of muir
derers of workers and farmers, the
government of smashers of the co.
operative organizations and the trade
unions of the farmers and the work
ers.
Down with the despicable raiders.
Down with the fascists and their
government.
Down with the fascist dictatorship.
Long live the workers and farm
ers' co-operatives.
Long live the farmers and work
ers of Italy.
Long live the fight for freedom
waged by the workers and farmers
turnout the world.

The storm brought with it the best radio night in two weeks, but still 1t was far from perfect. Fading was n fault of nearly every station and there were vague disturbing noises which defled description. Vol ume, however, was much more sat- istactory than it has been for some time past and there was an increas. ed degree of clarity.
 The presentation which probably appealed most to New Britain fans was the ihformal party staged by the studio staff and assisting artists at WTlC, The Travellers station was supposed 10 sign off at 8 o'clock, but many telephone calls and tcle- grams attestod to the fact that the fans wanted the station to keen go. ing, the storm rendering most of them snoWbound, So the manage ment decided to hold party, tho purpose of which was to drive tho blues away. And drive them away they did, as far as we were con- cerned, at least. A welcome spirit of friendship and informality per meated the studio and even reached out from our loudspeaker from shortly after o'clock until some time after il, when WTIC signed off.
