——— e BORA IN SPEECH ATTACKSPASESH Italy’s Killings in Ethiopia and Spain Called Cow- ardice, Savagery. By $he Associated Press. Pascism and its methods were at- tacked before an intent Senate yes- terday by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, in language that seldom has been used in congressional debate on foreign developments. Referring to reports of mass killings in Ethiopia and bombings of civilians in Spain, the Idaho orator said: “This 1s not courage but cowardice, not gov- ernment but brute savagery, not war but butchery.” While his colleagues postponed their lunches to listen, Borah warned them of an “insidious, subtle, effort being constantly put forth in this country by the advocates of that theory of government.” He said both Communism and Fascism have their active propagand- ists in our own country, but that “the latter is supposed to be more re- spectable than the former and finds & more ready entry into respectable society.” Supporters Held More Adroit. “Fascism,” Borah added, “has far more supporters in this country than Communism, and they are much more | active and much more adroit in the | manner in which they are accomplish- ing their end. “There can be no compromise be- | tween democracy and either fascism | or communism. Both are the avowed enemies of democracy, both would destroy individual liberty, both estab- lish in its place abject economic and political serfdom.” Later, off the floor, Borah said he did not think it wise to name the indi- viduals and organizations supporting fascism in this country at this time. | But he said fascism was being pre- sented in many ways. “‘Magazines, literature and newspa- | pers all present that side of it,” he 1 commented. Quotes From Mussolini. In his speech, Borah did not once | mention Italy. But he quoted at length from Mussolini without using | his name. | “I quote these statements of the | principles of fascism,” he said, “not because I am interested in the theory | and practices of governments in other countries, but because I am interested in the doctrine which would be incul- cated by some into this country. “I quote them that we may see how they fit into our theory of life and government. I quote them to illus- | trate the theories which respectable | Americans must have in mind when | they say that fascism might be a good | thing in the United States. | “There is no tenet of democracy | which fascism does not challenge. | ‘There is not a vital principle of free government with which this ruthless | creed is not in conflict. It is built, | and professes to be built, upon the ruins of democracy. It is grounded in force. It could not survive a fortnight in the atmosphere of free discussion.” | Speech Read From Manuscript. For one of the first times in his | career Borah read his speech from manuscript instead of delivering it ex- ‘ temporaneously. It was obviously | carefully prepared, and he followed it closely. He launched into a discussion of fascism’s methods by saying the effect of the system could not be fully appre- ciated “until it comes in contact with peoples who do not accept its teach- ings.” First he mentioned Italian retalia- tion for the assault on Marshal Gra- ziani, Italian viceroy at Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia. He read press dispatches describing mass slaughter of the na- tives by Italian soldiers. “We have to go back to the days of Attila to find anything to compare With this ruthless destruction of help- less men, women and children,” he said. Same Thing in Spain. Turning to Spain, Borah used sim- lar language. “Here fascism presents to the world its masterpiece,” he said. “So long as men and women may be interested in searching out from the pages of his- tory outstanding acts of cruelty and instances of needless destruction of human life, they will linger longest and with the greatest horror over the sav- age story of the Fascist war in Spain.” MRS.
