ITALIAN PRESS ATTACK

Displeased With Reports On Events In Spain

Ban On Entry Of British Newspapers

Rome. May 8.

A bitter article in the newspaper "Regime Fascista," edited, by Farin Acci, a member of the Fascist Grand Council and ex-secretary of the Fascist Party was the prelude to to-day's ban on the entry of British newspapers Into Italy. The article speaks of a "gystem. of deliberate lying as the moral heritage of the English people." It drags in the "acute perfidy of the Jewish mentality as an addi- tion to national hypocracy, reinforced by Anglican education."

Not only is the British people fundamentally stupid and puerile... (declares the "Regime Fascista"), but it has been led for centuries by a ruling class which made it believe what it wishes.

Samples of alleged British les "are the reports of the Italian reverse at Guadalajara, air bomb- ing at Guernica and the state- ment that Italian volunteers were thrown out of the windows by Spanish Bsh-wives during the *heroic' defence of Bermeo.”

In the early days of its existence the committee took note of the disadvantages of unofficial reports of its work, and it was agreed, in order to check this practice, that fuller communiques should be published at the end of meetings.

VICAR'S SERMON

A special Coronation Service, which was broadcast, took place in St. Andrew's Church yesterday morning when an inspiring sermon was delivered by the Vicar. Rev., J. R. Higgs.

The preacher, in the course of his sermon, the subject of which was "The Inspiration of a Noble Tradition," sald:-

In spite of the fact that the age in which we live canllenges

to

dare new things, to look to the future, to be venturesome and pro- gressive. I want to speak to you at this unique service this morn ing not about something new but about something old, not on be- half or adventure,, as I am often wont to do, but on behalf of tradi- tion. Tradition can be bad as well as good. There are some things in the Inheritance of our fathers we do well to forget, But this is not the age to dwell too much on that. One knows that however dangerous the misuses of tradition may be, the right use of it is in- dispensable and may even be magnificent.
