FROM BAD TO WORSE
CONDITIONS IN ITALY ANTI-FASCIST ’ S ATTACK (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received Dec. 5, 11 a.m.) i . LONDON, Dec. 4. The general situation in Italy is going from bad ,to worse, declares Professor IJosselli, who is at present visiting London. The best proof that, the Fascist regime has not got the country’s support is that Mussolini cannot govern without the tcrriblo and cxccprional laws passed in 1920. Professor Rosselli asserts that the prisons throughout Italy, especially in the south, are full of people, their only crime being .that they are not in sym.pal.liy with the regime. They are subjected to the most shocking tortures, the latest being to fie a prisoner to a chair and strike him heavily repeatedly over the heart with a rubbercovered hammer. Reprisals against the families of anti-Fascists have now become part of Italy’s legal system. Thousands of Italian homes have been ransacked, and the furniture destroyed in front of helpless women.
