Deny Plute Press Tale About Garibaldi
BULLETIN.
(Special to The Daily Worker)
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. The capitalist press story that Colonel Ricciotti Garibaldi, under arrest in France, is agent provocateur for fascism, was branded by his brother here, General Peppino Garibaldi, as an infamous fascist conspiracy with French police to discredit the leader and organizer of anti-fascists in Europe outside Italy.
He said that he and his brother had always opposed Mussolini and that he is convinced this world-wide campaign against his brother is a malicious fascist invention of the black-shirt brigands who could find no other way to eliminate Garibaldi.
ROME, Nov. 5.—Amidst great public tension, the fascist grand council met today to consider action to be taken to prevent further attacks upon the premier and anti-fascist plots.
The tension was increased by a report published in the Popolo di Roma, declaring that Colonel Ricciotti Garibaldi's arrest in Nice may be linked with a plot against Mussolini, discovered ten days ago when two alleged would-be assassins were discovered at Monte Carlo, where they were making arrangements for entering Italy.
Submit Drastic Proposals.
The fascist grand council will submit its proposals to the parliament next week. It is anticipated that the provisions will include these:
1) Provision of the death penalty not only for all those who in the future make attempts on the life of the premier, but for those already held in custody, charged with such attempts.
Orders for the expulsion of all fascists who assume the duties of the police and military and who act as agents provocateur in luring anti-fascists to plot against the government.
Reorganization of the police force, with possible action to create a strong national police force.
More rigid supervision of the press.
A weeding out of the membership of the fascist party, expelling those who are not wholehearted in their support.
Adoption of such a program by the grand council is tantamount to its enactment, since the parliament is certain to give any legislative approval desired.
Fascisti Decide to Stop All Passports
ROME, Nov. 5.—The Italian cabinet today decided to cancel all passports which have been issued, as a part of the drastic program which is being undertaken to check the plots against the premier and the fascist government. This action, it is understood, is taken to prevent anti-fascists from leaving Italy for foreign lands.
