NO JUSTICE, BUT SPIES EVERYWHERE.
“ DORA ” INSTITUTED THROUGHOUT ITALY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON. November 21. The special correspondent of the “Daily Chronicle,” lately* in Italy’, states that the country is being placed under the most diabolical “ Dora ” (Defence of the Realm Act in force in Britain in war time) it is possible to conceive. All the political parties except the Fascist are being abolished. Only* Fascist newspapers are allowed to exist, and, unofficially’, lists of hostages and of people who will be summarily executed if anything happens to Signor Mussolini are being drawn up throughout the country’. “ What justice,” the correspondent asks, “ will a political prisoner receive from an officer of the Army and five members of the Fascist militia? The whole procedure will be that of a court-martial in war time. No one will dare to give evidence for the defence before such a packed tribunal. A system of espionage is being built up through the concierges which will reach every household.”
