POLICY OF CONQUEST
THE FASCIST PROGRAMME
(British Official VViraess.)
(Received January 4, 9 a.m.)
RUGBY, January 3
Evidence that the Italian colonial policy during the past six years has been dominated by the Fascist intention of further conquest is marshalled relentlessly in a booklet published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Its objective record of the facts makes it clear that each new acquisition was sought as a base for a further advance. Thus, Albania" became a base for a further thrust in an attempt to dominate the Eastern Mediterranean. Libya, originally intended to strengthen the defence of the Italian empire, was converted by Mussolini into an offensive position for attacks against Egypt or Tunis. Abyssinia was no sooner seized than the energies of the Italians were directed towards exploiting it as a base for an advance to the upper Nile Valley and Jibuti.
