ROME —In spite of Fascist censorship, news of internal troubles leaks out of Italy and indicates that Dictator Mussolini looks into a dark future and prepares for it.

The Italian lira continues to lose in the race against the British pound and the American dollar. Unemployment is on the increase at an alarming rate, and nothing is being done to take care of the jobless.

The Italian middle class, after trusting to Mussolini’s loud prophecies of victory in “the battle of the lira,” is beginning to understand that Mussolini’s victory means a loss of its own savings. And no Fascist button on the lapel of the middle class coat can reconcile the loser.

“Fascism in Action”, the first full-length analysis of fascism written by a government agency, has sold 36,790 copies at 40 cents each. Rep. Wright Patman (D., Texas) told the congress February 21. Declaring that the “tyranny of the Right can be as dangerous as the tyranny of the Left,” Patman has introduced a resolution to allow free distribution of 100,000 copies of the booklet. More than 600,000 copies of another booklet, “Communism in Action” have been distributed without charge at a cost to the government of nearly $35,000, he said.

In a speech urging the congress to approve his resolution, Patman declared that while he was “opposed to communism in any form” and believed it “should be fought with every means at our command,” he also believed that the dangers of fascism should not be overlooked.
