AIMED AT MUSSOLINI
GREAT PLOT EXPOSED IN ITALY SIX LEADERS ARRESTED By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. LONDON, Monday. The Paris correspondent of the “Daily Chronicle” says messages from the Italian frontier, which escaped the Fascist censorship, disclose a great plot aimed at the Prime Minister, Signor Mussolini. Six leading Italians, including General Bencivenga, have been arrested. The general was the Deputy-Chief of the General Staff in the war. With him were arrested a member of Parliament, Ponzio, the holder of the golden medal and a famous war hero. This suggests that the great associations of ex-service men, wjio once were Fascists to a man, are growing impatient of the Fascist regime. This belief is strengthened by the fact that Signor Bergman, the first president of the National Association of ex-Soldiers, has been arrested in Milan. Five of the six arrests were made in Northern Italy, which is a Fascist stronghold. A special tribunal has already condemned 123 of Mussolini’s political enemies, apart from sentences on hundreds of others, who have been banished to unhealthy Islands off the coast of Sicily.—A. and N.Z.
