To the Editor of the Crimson:
I beg you to correct your statement to the effect that I have taken an active stand "against Mussolini and Italy." Against Mussolini, yes. Against Italy, no. Mussolini is not Italy. Whoever during these last twenty years has had a share in the thankless task of fighting Mussolini while American bankers, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, university presidents, college professors, journalists and lecturers were praising him to the skies, did not stand against Italy but revindicated the rights and the honor of the Italian people against Mussolini and his brainless admirers.
Even today, anyone like myself who hopes and prays for the victory of the American armies over Mussolini, hopes and prays not only for the victory of America but also for the victory of Italy over a common enemy. The man who rules a country, especially under a dictatorial regime, is not the country. Gaetano Salvemini.
