Rome, May 24.
Cessation of military activities in East Africa and dethronement of Haile Selassic signals the inauguration of another tedious Fascist march "on the path of revolution."
In this advance there will be no recourse to bayonets or hand grensdes, No banners will be lying. Shouts of soldiers locked in hand-to- hand struggles will be absent: For it will con- prise an attack NOT against communities pro- but against Fascism's hated enemies capitalism tected by anti-aerial guns and heavy artillery, and Communism.
