(Eeceived 7th January, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, 6th January.
Amazing revelations have been made concerning the recently-discovered anti-Fascist plots against the Italian and Belgian Eoyalties, and members of the Fascist Cabinet, says the "Daily Mail," whose Geneva correspondent declares that it is reliably established in League circles that the anti-Fascists are plotting against Signor Mussolini's regime, particularly the Italian delegation at the League's forthcoming meeting. It is said they offered a notorious Chicago gunman £400 "to do the job."
The police yesterday raided the homes of anarchists and anti-Fascists in Geneva.- Many Italians were taken to the police station, and were questioned all night long. The correspondence seized showed that the plotters asked an. Italian anarchist in New York to lend a deadly kind of machine gun or pistol. The Italian police learned of the plot from a code letter addressed to a man in Italy, stating that an outrage- would be carried out on the League Secretariat. The police photographed the letter and then allowed it to reach the addressee who was left at liberty until he gave a clue to the place where the bombs were being manufactured. The police are searching for persons believed to be preparing bombs for an attack, on the League delegates. Several anti-Fascist extremists residing at Geneva recently disappeared, saying they were going to Paris. Others known to have been in communication with the arrested men on 2nd January, are now under strict surveillance.
