Fascists Described as Annoying "Mosquitees"
Istanbul, Feb. 13.
With the Italians being termed troublesome mosquitoes forever starting quarrels and conflicts with every other country," the anti-Italian campaign started here a few days ago continued unabated, The campaign has resulted in a sharp protest being lodged by the italian Ambassador, who referred particularly to press reports.
Public opinion in Turkey became antagonistic against Italy following the publication of a map in the Italian press outlining Italy's colonial claims. In the map certain areas belonging to Turkey were included.
To pacify the population, the semiofficial paper "Cumhuriyet? reproduced an article which appeared in the official paper "Ulus" stating that Italy is busy with much more important problems and that, in any event, Turkey is strong enough to defend her territorial integrity.
"Yeni Sabah," which called Italians "troublesome mosquitoes," in ro way subsided in its attacks.
"The Italians may find out at their own expense that the Turks of today are not those of Tripolitania, and they could be easily convinced if they eid Turkey the honour of landing on her shores" this paper warned.—Havas.
