CAMPAIGN SHOT-RIDDLED BATTLE_FLAG

AGAINST ALLIES IN ROME PRESS

ROME, April 17 (Router) —A sharp attack on what is described as Britain's claim to dominate the Mediterranean was made by Signor Virginio Gayda in the “Giornale d'Italia.'

Signor Gayda, who is generally regarded as Signor Mussolini's mouth-piece, declares that England has always pursued a policy in the Mediterranean aimed at ensuring in the most solid manner her power and hegemony exclusively in the service of her imperial interests.

After Versailles, Britain and France stifled the expansion of Italy in the Mediterranean.

England is not a Mediterranean nation, however much the may claim only to dominate this sea, whore legitimate value to her is that it is the direct route to her empire.
