“ITALY A PRISON.”

Nitti Denounces.

FASCISTS REGINE.

LONDON, November 26. “Italy is a prison where life is intolerable,” declared Signor Nitti, ex--1 rime Minister of Italy, chief speaker fit the No More. War Movement Conference at Westminster Hall, where he made a remarkable attack on Fascism He said:

“Italy has abolished every safeguard of the individual, and every liberty. Despite false statistics, the financial disorder gets worse daily, and production is diminishing while the dictatorship is equally bloody and brutal as tho Red dictatorship, and unjustified by any ideal, even though a false one. Italy is indulging in violence against adversaries, houses are pillaged .sacked and devastated, and thousands are deported without trial. All independent newspapers are suppressed and Parliament is suppressed, in fact no profession can be carried on without the Government’s consent. 'No free man can live in Italy. Mussolini has never disguised the will to war. All Fascists speak only of war. When the dictator feels himself lost he makes war. As Italy’s dictator he foresees a war, in which Italy must participate, in 1935-40.”
