ITALY’S VIGOROUS PROTEST

OUTBID STS OF FASCIST PRESS

INDISCRETION OF FRENCH MINISTER United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright ROME, November 26. Despite a denial by the French Minister of Marine (M. Campinchi) that he had ever said in the course of a speech at Toulon that a FrenchItalian war was not only inevitable, but necessary, the Italian Press is aflame with demands for his resignation. M. Campinchi is reported to have stated that Corsica must no longer be subject to Italian aggression. A war against Italy was inevitable and necessary, and it must end in a French victory. France was determined to defend Corsica against every aggression. An offensive would be launched there, bringing Fascism to its knees.
