The | only surprise is the frank acknowledgement of it by officials at Rome. There has been agtive, determined opposition to the Fascist regime from its inaugura- tion in 1922, although it has never reached the | dimensions of mass revolt. | The disaffection undoubtedly became much worse from the summer of 1940, when Mussolini took his people into a they did not want, had no chance to profit from, and had not been led to anticipate. | According to the Rome statement, 60 conspira- | tors have been put on trial and a dozen ringleaders | are still at lar Many others, apparently, werce | involved.
