ITALY MOURNS
LAMENT OVER AFRICA New Form Of Celebration For Empire Day Rec. 11.30 a.m. LONDON, May~9. Instead of being celebrated as Italian Empire Day, to-day will be observed as "a day of Italy's rignt to Africa." . Rome radio, in an Empire Day message to Italians in Africa, declared: "The soil you inhabit is still an integral part of the Motherland, although it has become a theatre for the shameless prowess of Americans, who are revealing their primitive Redskin strain. Wait for us. We shall return." Teruzzi, Minister for Italian Africa, in a speech, said: "Our hearts are full of anguish over the Tunisian drama. Against the enemy's barbaric superiority in material we have given up some ground, but the battle continues. Our spirit is out there solemnly on guard. One day that spirit will sow the seed of new conquest."
