Italy Celebrates
Fascist Birthday
Amid Deep Unrest
1st Class Revolution
Brewing as II Duce
Holds PerilOus Sway
BY ALDO FORTE

BERN, Oct. 20. (UP)-
Italy's Fascist regime cele-
brates the goth anniversary
of it's rise to power todav,
and as it does SO all the ingredients
of a first-class revolution are at
hand.
The Italian people are apathetic
and pessimistic. The nations NOR
ale has reached an unprecedented
low and there is growing dissatis-
faction because of shorter rations.
After two and one half years OF
conflict, Italians have lost all hope
of a short war and the daydream
of a blitz they cherished in June
| 1910 has turned into nightmare.
Although Benito Mussolini's voice
hammers at them with more and
more pep talks, increasing numbers
of people are garbing themselves in
mourning, and mumbling about their
masters blunders, reports reaching
here say,
OVERTHROW DISTANT
Although the o.ements Of revolu-
ton exist, overthrow of the fascist
regime still appears to be distant.
Preliminary action Is impossible
through the press.
Despite widespread hunger and
want, there is no organized political
opposition. The Italian people arc
merely sitting back to watch the
slow disintegration of the nation
which their forefatherS built with
blood and sacrifice.
The only class which appears to
be satisfied and uncontaminated BY
war WEAKNESS Is the Nazi-controlled
Fascist hierarchy.
GERMANS FAVORED
A leading cause of dissatisfaction
in Italy is thes unequal rationing
between the axis partners. While
9,alians Must get along on 480
grams of meat monthly, Germans
are permitted 1900 The Italian fat
ration is $50 grams monthly, the
German 825. Italians are allowed
$50 grams of bread a day, and the
Germans may get $50. Still worse
is the sugar rationing: Italians are
limited to so grams a month, and
the Germans may have 900.
Italian military records also are
discouraging to the populace.
With the death of Gen. Federico
Orsi on the Egyptian front Oct. l8,
the Italian army has lost 81 gen.
erals since the outbreak of war.
FLAMES DESTROYED
The Italian air force, once her
aided as among the best in Europe,
has lost at least 1000 planes. Pres
ent production is hindered by Sabo-
tage and barely reaches 500 out
