What a colossal crime it would be to humanity and -- civilization should England in her -- selfishness, greed, false pride and stubboruness . steer the League of Nations to impose sanctions against Italy, because "sanctions," says Mussolini, mean "war", and thus incite a new world conflict. England in the name of civilizati-- on, beware! Your "peaceful" threats in the Mediterranean are leading to another world tragedy--a deluge that may make the "Black Hole of Calcut-- ta" seem like a Comedy. England beware! History will hold you res-- ponsible and civilized humanity will damn not bless the day you invoke sanctions against Italy which has been Civilization's greatest teacher and defender--not a destroyer. "Piccolino G. P." In view of all that has been said, how can England, : which owes so much to Italy, and has enjoyed the friendship and help of Italy for cen-- turies, support a country like Ethi-- opia, uncivilized, barbaric, where the power of the Ras is in direct relati-- on to the number of slaves he pos-- sesses and where there is no such thing as justice and where are prac-- tised some of the most horrible ritu-- als, that make the Spanish Inquisition look like child's play. This is the group of tribles England upholds against Italy, the nation that has contributed more than any other to the world's civilization. é una istituzione che ha il solo scopo di informare i suoi abbonati di tutto quanto intorno ad essi si stampa in Italia e fuori.
