"Stronger than Ever"

Off to sunny Italy went Italian Ambassador to the U. S. Prince Gelasio Caetani. To reporters said he, apropos of the Matteotti murder (TIME, June 23 et seq.) :

"Of course the opponents of Mussolini's regime are naturally making great capital of the tragedy. I am of the opinion, however, that the Premier will come through this affair stronger than ever, as the people of Italy recently have demonstrated that they are wholeheartedly behind him and his ideals.

"While it is true that at one time I was not a member of the Fascisti, I am now one of its most loyal members. It gives me great satisfaction to know that I shall soon be near my dear friend Mussolini, and I shall continue to give him what aid I can."
