FRANCE AND ITALY
BITTER PRESS COMMENTS.
(Times Cables.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.)
LONDON, December 6.
“The Times’s” Rome correspondent states that an official communique on the subject of Count Nardini’s widow’s pension, says that a barbarous assassin struck down not merely an upright official but a loyal supporter of the Fascist regime.
Apparently the newspaper campaign for the return of all French decorations is semi-officially discouraged, but the terms of the announcement are not calculated to improve Franco-Ital-ian relations.
The Impero continues to urge the return of civil decorations, because they are undesirable, and the reward of an undesirable regime. Military decorations should be kept, not because they prove any special benevolence on France’s part, but “because they prove our generosity in shedding our ovzn blood for the salvation of a foreign country not deserving of such sacrifice.”
