April 1T, l936. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 have read MT. Murnos defense of fascism of April 14th. It seems that the communistic MT. Russo knows naught of fascism. think the charge is slightly presumptuous.
 MT. Murno and are in complete agreement that there can be no so- cialism within the fascist frame work. think he makes that clear.
 He is slightly in error when he maintains that fascism makes no such pretentions. It is by no small accident that German fascism, twin sister of Italian fascism, goes under the name of the National Socialist Party of Germany.
 I will quote from authority the semi-official work of the fascist Fausto Pitigliani, "The Italian Corp orative State," 1883. He says: This new economic departure may be said to lie somewhere between Liberal ism and Communism :" For further data MT. Murno, will do well to refer to the recent articles of the fascist correspondent of the New York Times, Arnaldo Cortesi.
 MT. Murno makes three good points in his letter. He would deny thes three points and dismiss them as "phobias" common to every Com munist. They are such good points that they will bear looking into.
 l. The strengthening of the fascist state for the continuation of war policy.
 2. Protection and defense for the capitalist class.
 3. To save the state from bank ruptcy and keep the peoples eyes in darkness about the real conditions of the national economy.
 MT. Murno unwittingly sustains the first point himself when he states that state control of key in- dustries is neither "socialistic" nor aimed to stabilize the national economy, but timely and proper measures for the production of war materials"
 Let us consider the very rash statement MT. Murno makes when he says, "Mussolini has always mas tered for the purpose of peace in Europe every perilous situation" No doubt this makes Mussolini the most distinguished candidate of the year for the Nobel Peace Prize with Hit Ter and Tokyo running a close sec- ond.
 If MT. Russo were to say that Mussolini does not want peace that he does not believe in peace, MT. Murno could cry out against 1t. How fantastic! But let us refer to MT. Murno's fountain head and see what he has to say about it.
 "Fascism believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpet- ual peace War alone brings to it's highest tension all human en- ergy and puts the stamp of nobil- jty upon the peoples who have the courage to meet it." (Mussolini, The Political and Social Doctrine of Fascism).
 Tn eternal warfare mankind ha. become great-ln eternal peace mankind would be ruined" This last statement is the creation of another great statesman, Adolf Hitler, in his Mein Kampf, p. 149.
 These two frankly brutal anc monstrous creeds clearly indicate the aims underlying all the fascist peace yanpings.
 Mussolini remains in the League of Nations for the same reasons that Hitler left 1t and wants to return tt 1t namely to utilize his position there, not for peace but to proven any action that would hinder hi beastly war in Ethiopia.
 The Italian working class togeth CT with the working class of tn rest of the world is the only clas sincerely desirous of peace. The peo pie of Italy are 8 peace loving peo pie. They have no gains to mak from the murders of their own sons from the burden, misery and havo raised by war. They do not and vii not subscribe to the creeds of tn war mongers who are bending al their efforts to plunge the world in to a new blood bath. On the con trary the position of the workin class is one of irreconcilable oppc Gition to this ruthless waste of hu man lives in order to satisfy tn greedy appetite of the ruling clas
 For whom is this war tough thena It is fought for those wh
