It seems quite logical to think
that Mussolini not only is prepar-
ing the public mind for war but is
building up a case so that if he
fella it necessary to join Hitter he
will have got Italy ready for It. D
Duce already know* that bis people
would follow him into war on the
side of thg allies
.It te reascnable to believe that
Mussolini expects to have to come
into the war possibly in the near
future. Certainly he has made it
ctear that he expects to have a
large hand in peace, and in this
connecttou one recalls his words of
S5 year* ago when he successfully
campaigned to bring Italy tnto the
world war on the side of the al-
ites:
"The vanquished will have a his-
tory. but not the absent. If Italy
remains .absent, she will be once
more ‘the land of the deed'.”
