ed, Carlo Scora, new secretary
of the fascist party, broadcast
from Rome last night a frantic
appeal Xor last-ditch resistance
to the allies.
The speech, obviously a reply to
the Roosevelt-Churchill uncon
ditional surrender demand which
last week was conveyed to the
Italian people by radio and leaf
lets dropped from planes, ac
knowledged, however, that the
plight of Italy is desperate.
Italy, Scorza said, is "as never
before in mortal danger," pictur
ing her as "little group of men"
standing out against the two rich
est powers in the world who, he
asserted, are "most avid to gorge
and wishing to destroy her ter
ritorial and political unity and
abolish her rights."
"The Italians know that this
is a war of continents," he said.
"The Italians know that this is
a war of race, with the British
and Americans as the vanguards
of the inferior hordes."
Gloomy Picture Painted
Although he made no direct
reference to the allied ultimatum
he held that only through con
tinued resistance could the Ital
ian nation survive. Recounting
the nation's gains under 23 years
of fascist rule he painted a slark
picture of the fate in store for
Italy in surrender.
"Resist! Resist! Resist! Hecx
horted. "If the enemy should be
victorious, what fate would be
fall us? The nation would be
broken up; the people would be
reduced to a mass of serfs and
most of them would fall under
the Russian whip. The stronger
would be sent to toll In the Ural
mines und In the steppes; the less
strong would raise flowers for1-.
the ladies or would sketch cera
mics for English baronets. The
sacked museum, the schools sub
jected to the whims of the con
querors; the idle arsenals, the
tiorts deserted of our ships; the
closed factories, the abandoned
fields would bear witness."
