 Enll on Arabs to Continue

 a MuSsOlinPS Protest
 Rome, Oct. 18-(UP)-Premier EGnito Mussolini's own newspaper Pcpolo DItalia of Milan, leading bitter campaign of criticism against Great Britain's Palestine policy, asserted today that news from Palestine can not but arouse sense of horror throughout the civilized world"
 Coincidentally, dispatches from Adds Ababa reported that Moslem leaders of Ethiopia had telegraphed the League of Nations and the Bfitish Government expressing dis approval of British policy and solidarity with Arabs in Palestine.
 There was some surprise here at the gheat of the Popolo D'Italia editorial at the outset of negotia- tionS to remove foreign volunteers from the Spanish Civil War.
 But the attack fitted in with de- Veiopments of the last several weeks calculated to remind Britain that Mussolini is not inclined to sit quiet while Britain and France make threhts of strong action If the vol- lantQers are not removed.
 X. What Article Said
 The Popolo D'Italia article said:
 axnws which for thousands of years guaranteed justice to civilized mankind are openly trampled on nidt Innocent citizens are punished for sdeeds for which they bear no xesppnsibility.
 Whole streets have been razed as Ii,inishment for acts whose per- netfhtors the authorities are unable 3o detect and do not wish to investi- Nate
 sIf q street or ward In any city In Eur0pe were to be destroyed as xooiiSh punishment for attempts teainst Q European air field, a wave of Indignation would arise against zicaD responsible.
 Both Offenses Wrong

No one entrusted anyone with a man. date for sowing destruction and fnassacre in the Holy Land.
