Australian and N.Z. Press Association. (Received April 17, 5.25 p.m.) ROME. April 17
People who boast of "my friend, the Minister," in order to impress their neighbours socially, may find themselves in the hands of tho police under tho latest Fascist ban, which aims at suppressing snobbery in Italy.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior, Signor Mussolini, in a circular to the prefects, says they are to take energetic measures against all persons who, in order to advance their own questionable ends, boast of their friendship, acquaintance or relationship with persons in positions of public importance, or with members of the Government or high Fascist authorities.
