 Comments on Propaganda Circulated Locally

Italy in Q position whereby even her other colonies were In danger.
 France Needs Italy
 Ethiopia, which never existed as an organized patton, except for the help of England and France, would never have started any trouble with Italy and would have allowed Italy to realize her rights had 1t not been for the counsels of England's statesmen.
 France stayed out of the picture this time, because she did not wish to stir the enEnity of Italy, which che needs to defend her in case of aggression.
 The spokesman of the League of Nations would have known more about the real facts and should have insisted that England keep her ob- ligations to Italy. Italy did not fur- nish arms and ammunitlons to Ethiopia when England took her share of 1t. England, on the other hand furnished all the Ethiopians could use, even dunn dum bullets. Ttaly's alleged atrocities in Ethiopia are no more shocking than Eng. lands in South Africa, India Irak, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
 A few pages of our own American history will convince good Aineri- cans that BritisherS are not angels when 1t comes to warfare.
 Italian Americans wish to forget the intrigues practiced in this coun. try by the so-called peace leagues and as good Americans like Colum- bus, John Cabot, America Vespucci and others who brought America Into the fold of civilization will pro- mote @ spirit of understanding in this country among various racial extractions. Italian Americans will also try to forget discriminating ir1- migration laws, which will be more than offset by their high birth rate, and the game of political leaders in keeping the Italian Americans down at the bottom.
 Congratulations
 Italian Americans in this country will probably express their condo- fences to the disappointed anti Italians and will celebrate 1taly'9 victory as Q vindication of Italy's equality in every realm of human enterprise.
 Congratulations will be sent to Il Duce Mussolini, the king of Italy, General Badoglio, General Graziani and others who made victory possi- ble, and gratitude will be expressed to all Americans who were kind and intelligent to mind their own busi- ness as real Americans.
 The local Federation of Italian American Societies and Clubs will sponsor Q victory parade as will be done all over the United States In ell communities where there arc numerous Italian Americans.

Kimball is concerned" declared John DePas- tino, president of the Italian -Amer- ican Federation today, Italians will consider bis efforts Q waste of breath ard Italian Americans feel th0t the money he spent in propa- ganding against Italy and Musso- li1i, could have been spent for better causes"
 Insofar as Rev. Mir. Gaines Is concerned, his judgment of Italy In accordance with the class of Italians he has chosen to deal with, will never bring him to Q real acquaint- ancc of true Italian idealism."
 Triumph for Humanity
 Ttaly's victory in Africa is Q tri- umph for humanity, in that 1t lib- crates millions of slaves, and brings q great race like Italy on equnl standing with. Great Britain and France.
 Why Italy's rights in Ethiopia should have been contested, with or without the League of Nations, only professional politicians can justify. The treaty of 1891 gave England, France and Italy certain rights in Ethiopia.
 England took her share, France took hers, Italy could not take hers because Italian diplomats were too simple to match British and French tstuteness. It was diplomatic Eng land and France who furnished arms and ammunitions to the Abyss sinians and therefore responsible for 1taly's defeat of 1906, the inc glorious Adua, now vindicated.
 The new treaty of 1906 among the same three nations again recognized Italy's rights and even the Ethio- plan government acknowledged them by treaty. The latest 1928 treaty among England, France and Italy again confirmed 1taly's rights. But since then England was maneu- vering to bring Ethiopia within her absolute control and thereby keep

Local Italian Americans are Jubtlant over Italy's victories in Africa and particularly in view of the enormous obstacles which Italy had to overcome.
 While most Italians in this coun- try have become American citizens and have shown their devotion to America beyond doubt, great resent ment was aroused when numerous forces visible and invisible tried to have America cast her lot with England and her League of Nations.
 Numerous broadcasts over the 10. cal radio station on the part of MT. Chase Kimball and Rev MT Gaines reported campaign in favor of the League of Nations have not escaped
