brute strength of police and
military groups, made solid by

expense of those they expoit.
The press was divided, I as spok-

widely differing views. There
was no unity of opinion or act-
ion against the advance of the
Black Shirts and the Brown
Shirts, and the dictators exting-
uished the torches of press
liberty one by one.
