The International Labor Defense alleges that Greco and Carrillo were arrested in a frame-up plotted by Count Thaon di Revel and his Fascist League of North America.

In commenting on Di Revel’s con- nection with Morgan and company Cannon said: “The frame-up of Greco ‘end Carrillo is part of a scheme to make fascism, not only Italian fas- cism but international fascism appear im a favorable light for American tonsumpiion.

On the other hardf! he continued, it is to the interest of Morgan & Co. to convince the Ame jean public that the fascist Kar: ment of Italy is not only strong but desirable from the point of view of world peace and progress.

The delegation stated that there were no wars between Indians and whites until the invading colonists took over more and more of Indian lands, that scalping was not practised until the colonists began offering prizes to mercenaries for the heads | of their foes, that the Black Hawk war was the result of the settlers attacking Black Hawk, and the Battle of the Little Big Horn, called ‘the massacre-of Custer” was the result of the violation by the frontiersmen of treaties made with the Indians.
