RIOT AT GENOA AFTER SHELLING
A writer in the "New York Daily News" gives an account, which escaped the Italian censors, of the British naval raid' on Genoa some months ago.
He says that the British squadron ravaged miles of waterfront, sank or crippled at least 28 commercial vessels, burned down scores of harbour installations, and fomented a near insurrection amongst the Genoese against Mussolini and the war.
"Every three minutes there were deafening crashes, six or eight in ai bunch, with occasional bombs at intervals," he says.
Afterwards Faselst Guards kept the people from seeing the devasta-{ tion at the docks and the morning papers came out hours later "with not a line about the bombardment.”
The communique issued the next day insisted that nothing of military importance had been hit "although Ares had blazed on the docks until far into the previous evening."
Civilians Clubbed
"For two days people were kept completely uninformed of the real
festruction," he says.

Mrs Borders then took the case to the Appeal Court, and won.
So the society appealed in turn to the House of Lords.
