- 5 - SENDER ATHEN / strongly disturbed /: A Greek white book describes the Italian, action against Albania and Greece: Mussolini explained that the resolution that Italy had the intention to go hostile against Greece was a malicious slander. Then, however, Mussollini's agent en claimed that Greece had begun to take an hostile attitude against Italy. Dåes was the reason for the accumulation of Italian troops on the Greek border, without, of course, Greece being allowed to take countermeasures. For a friendly gesture came from Mussolini. He spoke of his peace intentions and withdrew his troops from the border, but strengthened his troops in Albania at the same time. Then it was declared that Palestine, Egypt, Greece, southern France, Corfu, Gibraltar, Dalmatia, Croatia, Suez, etc. should be incorporated into Italy. It was then declared that England had the intention to occupy Greek empires and therefore Mussolini had to protect Greece, so to speak. It is interesting to study the documents of the Veissbuch. They serve as an instruction for the methods of fascist sects The Central Committee of the Dodecanese issued a statement of protest yesterday in Athens: the civilized world is brought to the attention, according to impeccable news of Dodekanes, of the atrocities with which the Italians carry out the destruction of the Greek population of the dodecan. All Greeks aged 17 - 6 years were arrested, and the prisoners must endure unpredictable roughness. They sla fan on muddy and wet ground and are only harvested with spoiled macaroni, and they also receive them only in insufficiently narrowness. No day passes when people who are not dead or dying are kicked with feet. The Italians have requisitioned all the cattle, poultry and all the food in general, even as far as picking up unripe olives. The population is in a desperate situation. The Greeks of the Dodecanese islands are decimated by hunger and disease, and the still living Merschians look more like ghosts than human beings. In the 28 years of Italian rule the torments were immeasurable, but now they exceed every measure. With bleeding heart we announce this before God and humanity of the civilized world.
