WHOLESALE ARRESTS
TRIESTE AND VENICE
ITALIAN SECRET POLICE
(Received January 17, 1 p.m.)
LONDON, January 16,
The Italian secret police have begun wholesale political arrests at Trieste and Venice, according to the Belgrade correspondent of the "Evening Standard."
The Capodistria prison at Trieste now contains 5000 political prisoners, including women and adolescents, most of whom are alleged to be pacifists, defeatists, saboteurs, and Communists.
A huge concentration camp is being built alongside the prison for increasing shipments of Albanian insurgents, who already exceed 2000.
Food shortages in north-eastern Italy are severe. Meat, butter, fat, eggs, olive oil, coffee, tea, and cocoa are unobtainable, and malnutritional diseases are increasing.
