The Anglo-American bombers, who range on our cities, destroying private property, works of art, churches, hospitals and schools in vain hope of depressing the spirit of resistance of the Italians, demonstrate that they are worthy allies of those Bolshevikss who massacred old men, children, priests and nuns of charity, for the sole purpose of destroying any sound principle of morals and religion
