Rome, Mar. 23.

In a strongly polemical speech- from above the Piazza Venezia, Signor Benito Mussolini to-day celebrated the eighteenth anniver- sary of Fascism by sharply re- buking newspapers which sought to make a mystery out of his return from Libya "one day earlier than was expected. He also answered his Church critics in Britain in some trenchant phrases. "This inundation of turbid ink can logically be connected with the hysterical, hypocritical oratory of certain

preachers who are always ready to see the mote in other people's eyes, while their own eyes are crushed by cen- turies-old, heavy beams."

so bad as at the present moment, It is stated that the speech of the Duce is bound to have unfavour- able repercussions, in England. since it is also known that Count Clano, Itallan Foreign Minister. has called on the British Envoy in Rome to make representations concerning the attitude of the British press towards Bignor Mus- solini's Lybian journey.- Transocean News Service.
