Puerilities

A lively but level-headed passage of verbal arms between Premier Mussolini and Senator Luigi Albertini, owner of the Milanese Corriere Della Sera, occurred in the Senate. Senator Albertini, in a long attack on the Mussolini Cabinet, indicated by example how the Government suppressed news of a demonstration unfavorable to itself:

Mussolini: "That is untrue."

Albertini: "It is most true."

Mussolini: "I made an investigation."

Albertini: "So did I."

Mussolini: "It was a demonstration of 200 persons."

Albertini: "It was a most impressive demonstration."

Mussolini: "I deny it."

And that was that!
