The protocol was expected to be signed last night. Paraguayan rep- resentatives were ready. But de Medina wouldn’t sign without ex- press authorization from Bolivia.

This letter was read before the tribunal of Rome during the trial! of “La Voce Repubblicana” organ} of the republican party of Italy,| which had publicly accused Balbo! of having engineered the murder of Don Minzoni. Balbo could not} deny the authorship of the letter because it was presented in his own handwriting, and “La Voce Repub- blicana” was acquitted. The pow- erful public opinion which was voiced at that time against fascism and especially against Balbo, espe-| cially after the assassination of Matteotti, compelled Mussolini to} remove Balbo as generalissimo of militia, but Balbo was soon ap-| pointed secretary of aviation.
