Giacomo Matteotti - The fascisti exposed

liberal systems" Mussolini, to Primo De Rivera, during a banquet at the Palazzo Venezia. November 24. "Nitti is something worse than a thing of no acount ; he cannot show himself in public without being spat at; he is a man in the position of those offenders whom a justice more. primitive, but certainly more exemplary, would mark with the brand of infamy. This cannot go on, and the time has cor e for deeds instead of words, to show the gangreno_us remains o'f this discarded old ruin that the Fascist generosity which spared him the firing squad demands in return at least silence. " J dea N azionale. (Rome Nationalist paper.) November 30. "Yesterday evening, about 7 o'clock, some 500 Fascists of proved boldness . gathered before Signor Nitti 's house and commenced a formidable chorus of imprecations. Some hundreds of more exasperated Fascists began to fire at the walls of the house, and two strong groups attacked the railings. Some policemen ,vho came running up were knocked over, and one of them went away to give the alarm at the Police Station. Meanwhile the Fascists had broken into the premises, and, still firing, smashed the ground floor shutters with clubs. "The group which got inside hunted for Nitti, but without success. "The political secretary of the Roman Fascio has warned us against the enemies within the country, to whom the Fascist revolution left full liberty to plot, and has added that the capital cannot tolerate Nitti 's insulting attitude. · If the plots continue, if no precautions are taken against the clefeatist Press, Fascism will inevitaoly break the v1c1ous circle and resume its interrupted march.
