“DOWN WITH FRANCE!”
FEELING IN ITALY ATTACKS ON ROOSEVELT MISLEADING PICTURE OF BRITISH OPINION [By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] Received Feb. 5, 7.30 p.m. ROME, Feb. 4. Shouting “Down with France!” hundreds of students stormec’ a cinema in the centre of the city, compelling the suspension of the American film “Woman I Love,” featuring Paul Muni and Miriam Hopkins, and exalting the bravery of French airmen. After-' wards it was officially announced that the film would be permanently banned owing “to its friendly atmosphere to France.” Furious Press attacks continue on Mr. Roosevelt, who is elevated to the role of Fascist’s public enemy No. 1. London correspondents of Italian papers are giving a misleading picture of British opinion. Mr. Chamberlain is credited with the fullest acceptance of the Italian-German viewpoint. Readers are led to conclude that there are only two brands of thought in Britain —the Prime Minister and his supporters standing for peace and friendship with Italy and disapproving the French resistance to the Italian claims, and the pro-Bolshevists and warmongers apposing them. Britain’s proclaimed solidarity with France is discreetly overlooked.
