(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
“Il Duce lines up with Jewry” is the allegation made by the Fellowship Forum. said to be the Klan organ, in a despatch from Rome, quoting an interview with Dr. Angelo Sacerdoti, Chief Rabbi of Rome.
“Fascism’s efforts towards approachment of the Italian state with the Catholic church have been accompanied by a spirit of tolerance toward all religious faiths. winning for it the wholehearted support of Italian Jewry.” the Fellowship Forum quotes Dr. Sacerdoti.
“The match on Rome and the advent of Fascism. in no way injured the position of Jews in Italy. A vast majority of our coreligionists support enthusiastically Premier Mussolini’s work of national restoration.
“The number of Jewish members of the Fascist party is quite large. Moreover Fascista has consistently made its choices of men for important posts on the basis of ability and not of religious faith.
“During the early period–or violent period of Fascism–protestants were and are still being persecuted, but no representative of Italian Jewry and no Jewish institutions ever suffered pressure or violence. At the same time, “according to Dr. Sacerdoti,” the Italian government has always accepted favorably requests of the Zionist organization. It was even represented by a special committee at the inauguration of the Hebrew University in Palestine in 1925.”
