Scope and Contents

Commenting on an article by Nino [dal Vespro] to be published in the December 4 issue of "L'Adunata dei Refrattari", various other articles and the attitude of the press toward their case, and on the Mooney Pippan and "Il Lavoratore", and Mussolini. 2 s. (4 p.) In Italian.

Translation:

Discusses what articles should be published and where. Quotes from an article in “Popolo d’Italia” and takes issue very specifically with what was written. Mentions that actually the bourgeois press is favorable to them in given instances but “you should ask the press why they are not doing for us what they did for Ettor and Giovanetto and Caruso . .” Gives samples of what ought to be printed, e.g., “We are convinced that you ae able to free them . . .” More should be written. Disagrees completely with certain statements. Errors in print must be corrected. He objects to things that were written and talks of Billings and Mooney. “I am speaking for all of us . .. for the cause.” He is very busy, is writing a lot, not able to do much that involves thinking, that’s why he hasn’t written for “l’Adunata”. He speaks about Sormenti and about a correspondent from Baltimore [no name]. If Mussolini had a spy here, he would only have to read the papers. With a brotherly embrace,
