Foreign News: Carta Itallana
The New York Herald, Tribune expanded into an eight-column feature story last week a 16-line "message to America" signed by Mussolini. The "message" was inconsequential, but the paper on which it was written was significant. At the top is printed the bold letterhead: IL CAPO DEL GOVERNO (Head of the Government). Along the left margin is printed: "CARTA ITALIAN A DI PASTA E CELLULOSA DI PAGLIA PRODOTTA ESCLUS-IVAMENTE CON MATERIE PRIME NAZIONALI." ("Italian paper of paste and cellulose of straw, produced exclusively with national raw materials.")
