Fascism, as I have repeatedly declared on
previous occasions, is not for export. The spe-
cial conditions in Italy demand political forms
other than those which exist outside Italy. Fas-
cism seeks unity; anti-Semitism seeks destruction
and separation. Fascist anti-Semitism, or anti-
Semitic Fascism is ■ gross absurdity. We are
much amused in Italy when we hear the
anti-Semites in Germany seeking to associate
Fascism with their anti-Semitiem. We also bear
from other countries that a Fascism with anti-
Semitic coloring is trying to obtain foothold
there. We vigorously protest against these at-
- tempts to compromise Fascism in this way.
Anti-Semitism is a product of barbarism, while
Fascism stands on the highest plane of civiliza-
tion and is diametrically opposed to anti-Semi-
tism. Our aim is to unite all sections of the
people under our flag. If we exclude Jews we
shall only be artificially strengthening the camp
of our enemy, for it Is obvious that those who
are not with us are against us.
