ANTI-FASCIST PLOTS

AMAZING REVELATIONS OUTRAGE PLANKED AT GENEVA Press Association— By Telegraph-Copyright. LONDON, January 6. (Received January 7, at 9.25 a.m.) There* are amazing revelations concerning the recently-discovered antifascists’ plot against Italian and Belgian Royalties and a Cabinet Member, says the ‘ Daily Mail,’ whose Geneva correspondent declares that it has been reliably established in League circles that anti-Fascists were plotting against Signor Mussolini’s regime and particularly against the Italian delegation at the League’s forthcoming meeting. It is alleged that they offered a notorious Chicago gunman £4OO **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 questioned throughout the night. Correspondence seized showed that the plotters asked an Italian Anarchist in Now 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 the outrage would be carried out at the League Secretariat. The police photographed the letter, after which it was allowed 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 the bombs for the attack on the League delegates. Several anti-Fascist extremists residing in Geneva recently disappeared, saying that they were going to Paris. Others known to have been in communication with those arrested on January 2 are now under strict surveillance.
