Egg Work

Italy's expulsions of Jews (see p. 30) represented Il Duce's idea of "the cheapest way" to keep his relations with Der Fuehrer close & friendly while at the same time the Premier made clear that last week he was neither backing nor encouraging a German move into Czechoslovakia--quite the reverse. Less interested in downing Jews than in upping Italians, Benito Mussolini has long pursued a campaign to make his countrymen proud of their race, turn Italians with an inferiority complex into "Romans." The Moscow News's cartoonist observed in this move definite signs of race-proud Nazi incubation. This work of creating 20th Century Romans was handed over last week to a new department under Minister of the Interior Benito Mussolini named the Superior Council for Democracy and Race.
