AN ITALIAN PROTEST.

[To the Editor of the SpEcTA1pn.1 -Sin,—" An Italian Protest" in your issue of May 31st is only -a boy and girl story showing that abuses may exist even in great movements. Here is another side of the picture. I found a hank clerkat work at 5 p.m. He was about twenty-five years old and had served for three years in the London branch of the bank and was accustomed to English easier hours of work.

"At what time will you get away?" I asked.

"At seven o'clock."

"Surely that is rather hard luck these lovely days." "We Fascisti do not mind how long we work if it is for the good of our country."

This may sound highfalutin' but it was genuine and shows the spirit which animates the best of the Fascisti.—I am, Sir,

iheE-AnnimAL.
