Sold at a Profit

One million rifles, 3,000 machine guns, 24 mountain batteries were confiscated by the Italian Government.

This consignment was the cargo of the steamer Vulcan and was addressed to the Yugo-Slavian Government. The steamer (port of clearance unknown) put in at Trieste, an Italian port on the Adriatic, and, in the course of unloading, the Italian authorities intervened and seized the cargo.

The arms were part of the Italian war stock which was sold to foreigners after the War, who in their turn resold it to the Yugo-Slavian Government. Italy for very obvious reasons did not wish her neighbor to have these arms. There is no available information as to whom the Italians intend reselling the war material.
