Mussolini’s Speech But Not His Voice
Received Sunday, 9.30 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 19.
Radio monitors agree that Mussolini’s speech was “a spiritless comeback. ’ ’ The speech was delivered much faster than usual and lacked the old animation. Doubt is even expressed if it was Mussolini speaking. Members of the British United Press monitoring staff who have often heard Mussolini believe it was not the ex-Duce speaking. “Mussolini may have written the speech hut whoever delivered it spoke quietly and without raising his voice which is most unnatural for Mussolini. Also he did not use any of Mussolini’s rhetorical flourishes."
