Three days later Il Duce made handsome return for what he and his had received. He announced for promulgation by the Cabinet next month a decree abolishing the celebration of Sept. 20 as a National Holiday...
...Death sentence having been revived in Italy for crimes against the State in 1927. With set, stern Facist faces they watched until 5:43 a. m. when the rifles cracked out shots in the back-Italy's idea of a supremely disgraceful Death. Throughout Jugoslavia, where Il Duce is detested as the National Enemy, furious indignation was roused by news that the Facist garrison commander at Trieste had refused to transmit to King Vittorio Emanuele a plea for pardon signed by the Jugoslav youths.

U. on "equal terms" with the victor states? that is, these nations should be permitted to re-establish their armies. This reply ranged Italy beside Germany in seeking revision of the Peace Treaties?a policy anathema to France. In Moscow the Soviet newsorgan Pravda, while appreciative of Italy's attempt to include Russia in the E. U., declared that, in view of the program of revision which Germany and Italy are seeking to force upon unwilling France, "the Briand scheme may be considered exploded...
