With the object of arousing greater interest , in Colonial
matters the Italian Colonial Institute, with the support of the National Association of Tourist Industries, and under the patronage of the Idea Coloniale, has organized a cruise to visit the most important Italian centres on the Mediterranean. The steamer ' Neptunia ' has been chartered, starts this week, and will visit Sicily, Tunis, Tripoli and Malta before re- turning to Naples. The Daily Malta Chronicle regards this increasing interest of Italy in Maltese problems with some concern, and quotes the following extract from the Fascist organ in support of its attitude :—" Also in Malta, the cruise will make a stay of one day, in order to make known to the travellers THIS OUR ISLAND where there burn incessantly the liveliest sentiments of Italianity and where work of the greatest interest is being done."
