RN I EE. " rs] a TAS A = o~ A THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1929 London. ~The name of Professor arlo Rosselli, formerly Professor of Foo nics at Genoa University and ter a political prisoner on the island i Lipari, is well known in this coun- y, partly because he succeeded some ionths ago in escaping from Lipari, and partly because when as a reprisal for that escape, his wife, who is an English-woman, was sent the #sland the outcry raised by the Eng- lish press secured her release. * Professor Rosselli is now on a brief visit to London, and has given the "Manchester Guardian" his view of the present situation of Italy and de- scribed from his own experience the miseries endured by political prisoners in Italian prisons. + The general situation in Italy (he Said) is going from bad to worse. Italy is very far from recovering in- fernal peace. We have an armed oli- garchy possessing all the instruments of power, though representing a min- ority of the country, but while the majority of the pcople are in their hearts opposed,*only a small minority ean actively struggle against them. Fhe best proof that the Fascist re- gitne has not got the consent of the country is that Mussolini cannot gov- ern without the terrible Exceptional Laws which were passed in 1926. The saddest thing is that the Ex ceptional Laws, which were passed at a moment of real or seeming exasper- ation on the part of the Fascist, have now been transformed into funda. mental laws. These Exceptional Laws now part of the Fascist penal code, were passed in November, 1926, after an attack had been made on Musso- lint's life by a 16-year-old Fascist. All Opposition parties were suppressed, the freedom of the press was abol- ished, a special tribunal was sct up with terrible penalties for the crimes of political belief and secret activity. Thousands of men were sent to the islands of deportation without trial whose only crime was that they were not in sympathy with the regime. For instance you are now condemned to prison in Italy if you attempt to go abroad, not only if you go for politi- gal reasons but if you go to find a Job. : Now, seven years after Mussolini bas come into power and three years after the passing of those Exceptional Paws, the position is worse than ever. We feel that Mussolini is a prisoner, even a physical prisoner, of his own tepressive system that he has called forth the demon of despotism sand cannot gow disentangle himself, It is nemesis. Then Professor Rosselli turned to we New Year Right Up the Medicine Start Zr Chest "Be Prepared"---take this motto for the New Year in everything you do, and in this particular instance be prepared against accidents in the home.

He said that, together with Signor Ferrucio Parri, he had helped the Social Demo- crat leader Signor Fillippo Turati to escape from Italy, where his life was in danger. For this crime the two friends were both sentenced to ten months' imprisonment, and at the end of that time, instead of being set frec they were sent for five years to the islands of deportation, from which after two years the Professor escaped. Two Penalties He explained that Italy has today two kinds of penalty--the ordinary legal ones and administrative penal- ties inflicted by the police authorities, who have unlimited powers of arrest and detention, without trial, defence or cross-examination. Some prison ers remain in prison for months at the disposal of the police without knowing why they are "there. He said the lot of the. political prisoners was terrible. Forced into promiscuity with common criminals, | their lives were full of suffering and | humiliation. From a general po int of | view the large prisons in Northern Italy are not so bad, but they are now so crowded that three, and sometimes four, prisoners are put into cells meant for one, and there they live night and day except for the hour when they take exercise in a small yard. In small prisons, and in all the prisons, large and small, of South- ern Italy the conditions were terrible, I recently read the memoirs of the patriots who were condemned to life imprisonment under the Bourbons (said the Professor), and, frankly, I find no difference at all from pre- sent conditions except that those pat- riots had chains fastened to their feet, The sanitary conditions. are terrible, | | The photo above shows what happened to a car when the snow | fell from the roof of a large build- ing in Toronto. Moral: Do not park in forbidden areas, and, as for food, the daily ration for the prisoner is soup and a roll. Torture Prisoners Foreigners do not realise, he said, that Fascists had introduced tortures for political prisoners in the prisons. | One man he knew had been tortured | with a rope tightened round his till he was ncarly choked.

The planes and fliers, brought here from Seattle on the coastguard cutter Chelan, were speedily trans- ferred to a train on the Alaska Rail- road and were oroceeding today to Fairbanks, where they are to be re- assembled and flown either to Nome or Teller, Alaska, to engage in the search, The train is duc at Fair- banks today. Each of the planes has room for six passengers in addition to the pi- lot and can lift sufficient gasoline to enable them to undertake long flights, They are equipped with ev- erything necessary for the safety of those flying them. The expedition will also be equipped with an aerial camera, with which it was said they might be' able to pick up details of the areas passed over which would not be noticeable to the human eye. Although Alaskan pilots have been making strenuous efforts to find Eielson and Borland, they have been handicapped by lack of proper equip ment.
