She told me she had expected the club to be opent, and that the proprietor was a friend of hers.

She refused to divulge his name, but denied that the club was doing anything wrong."

Asked if she knew about the questions in Parliament, she answered that they were 'not about the club at all, but about u cafe of the same name in the same street.

Blue Pencil

I went along there and found the proprietor, Salvatore Fama was interned on the day after Italy's declaration of war

A friend, who is carrying on the business, said that Signor · Fama, had been an anti-Fascist for many years.

"The Fascists used to come here," she said, "and threaten him unless he joined their party. We have no Fascist customers. They only came here to abuse | Mr. Fama.”

There were a number of young Italians in the cafe, and I asked a group at one table if they were Fascists.

"What makes you think," ask-. ed one in a very quiet tone of voice, "that every Italian is a blue-pencil Fascist?" I left it at that.
