This rapid and summary re-
view of thirteen years Of fas-
cism in Italy would not be COM
plete if we failed to mention
the profound and growing dis
content is more and more re
vealing itself in open hostility
on the part of the masses of
people to the fascist regime,
and we ask the delegates to the
League Of Nations to take into
account this state of discon-
tent, since it is the essential
element explaining the need for
a mad and criminal war which
is leading the Italian people to
the verge of catastrophe and
which may throw the entire
world into a bloody conflagra-
ton.
The incidents we are about
to mention although they can
not give a complete idea Of the
situation now existing in Italy,
are nevertheless enough to
show how unpopular the gov
eminent and this war are, and
how false is Mussolini's state
ment that, even if he tried to
hold them back "the 100000
guns which are in Eritrea would
go off of themselves"

Public Printer A. Giegengack is seriously alarmed over
conditions in the old buildings of the Government Printing
Office.
Judging from reports of building inspectors and ustra
ons contained in recent letter which Mr. Giegengack sent
to the House, the Public Printers alarm is justified
More than that probable that employees working in the
old sections of the office would be justified they walked
out The following paragraph from Mr. Gegengacks letter
would be warrant for anyones quitting his post
"EUery precoution has been taken to the end that
employees be protected and not exposed to unneceS-
oary dangers but of caution Uhich can be
devised would be adequate protection against the most
serious of all hazards-FIRE AND PROBABLE

Mr. Giegengack places the responsibility for whatever may
squarey Congress- where the responsibility should
rest.
Aside from conditions in the Government Printing Office
however the Public Printer raises grave question of condi
