NEW ITALY

MUSSOLINI LOSES HOLIDAY. ("Sydney Sun" Service.) LONDON, August 22. The “Daily News’s” Paris correspondent states that Mussolini announces that neither himself nor his colleagues can take a summer holiday, because they are too busy creating a new Italy. Increasing popular discontent due to the Fascist failure to win the economic battle, has led to strengthening precautions for the safety of Mussolini, whose villa is lit up with searchlights and reflectors every night, and strongly guarded by police and detectives. MIGRATION RESTRICTIONS LONDON, August 22. “The Times’s’ Home correspondent says: Further restrictions upon migration are being enforced. These include production by the migrant of contract from a foreign employer, or the reasons for joining relatives, before a passport can be obtained. The purpose is the stimulation of internal migration. GERMAN FASCISTI CHECKED BERLIN, August 22. A special train conveying 435 adherents of the Fascist National Socialist Party from Nunberg, where they held celebrations, suddenly stopped in a lonely spot outside Berlin. The train was immediately surrounded by a cordon of 250 police, who ordered the Fascist! to alight, and enter thirtysix motor lorries on the roadside. Under armed guards, the Fascisti made an inglorious entry into Berlin. After being searched for arms and documents, they were allowed to proceed to their homes. Meantime, crowds of supporters, waiting the arrival of the train, were amazed to find it empty.
