(Received 14th July, 9. a.m.)
LONDON, 12th July. The "Daily Telegraph" publishes a message from its Rome correspondent which has neither beginning nor end, and has apparently been censored. The portion passed deals with the public burning of newspapers as a protest against the anti-Fascisti campaign, and proceeds: "Mussolini's paper, the 'Pouol d' Italia,' scathingly denounces benator Albertim, the chief proprietor of the 'Corriere della Sera," and threatens that if the anti-Fascisti campaign continues the paper will be raided and the machines destroyed., Since October, the 'Corriere' has criticised what it describes as the excesses and defects of the Fascisti Government."
A later message announces that the Government has issued a decree establishing a mild censorship over the foreign Press, and new provisions • dealing with the'ltalian Press. Senators and deputies are debarred from the management of any periodical publication. Prefects are given the right to admonish editors, especially if they are guilty'of publishing false or exaggerated reports tending to disturb the peace or to interfere with the Government's diplomatic action. Articles , inciting class hatred, disobedience to the law, or insults to the King, the Pope, religion, constituted authorities, or friendly States are forbidden. <>;<::■■.<■
