Italy's only fault was to have defended its scanty and dearly- won-colonial possessions, and Fascism's leading cultural institute must make its voice heard in this decisive moment.

An announcement of the various measures for combating the sanctions was expected after the session of the Grand Council izst night, and these will probably include radical restrictions of auto- mobile traffic throughout the country. It is anticipated that the use of cars will be entirely prohibited during the week-ends, while petrol will only be supplied from tanks and stations on week daye. on the production of proof of the urgency of the journey.
