Italy's Killings in Ethiopia
and Spain Called Cow
ardice, Savagery.
By the Associated Press.
Fascism and its methods were at
tacked before an intent Senate yes
terday by Senator Borah, Republican, >
of Idaho, in language that seldom has
been used in congressional debate on
foreign developments.
Referring to reports of mass killings
In Ethiopia and bombings of civilians
In Spain, the Idaho orator said: “This
1* not courage but cowardice, not gov
ernment but brute savagery, not war
but butchery.”
While his colleagues postponed their
lunches to listen, Borah warned them
of an “insidious, subtle, effort being
constantly put forth in this country
by the advocates of that theory of
government.”
He said both Communism and
Fascism have their active propagand
ists in our own country, but that
“the latter is supposed to be more re
spectable than the former and finds
a more ready entry into respectable
society.”
Supporters Held More Adroit.
“Fascism,” Borah added, “has far
more supporters in this country than
Communism, and they are much more
active and much more adroit in the
manner in which they are accomplish
ing their end.
"There can be no compromise be
tween democracy and either fascism
or communism. Both are the avowed
enemies of democracy, both would
destroy individual liberty, both estab
lish in its place abject economic and
political serfdom.”
Later, off the floor, Borah said he
did not think it wise to name the indi
viduals and organizations supporting
fascism in this country at this time.
But he said fascism was being pre
sented in many ways.
“Magazines, literature and newspa
pers all present that side of it," he
commented.
Quotes From Mussolini.
In his speech, Borah did not once
mention Italy. But he quoted at
length from Mussolini without using
his name.
"I quote these statements of the
principles of fascism," he said, “'not
because I am interested in the theory
and practices of governments in other
countries, but because I am interested
in the doctrine which would be incul
cated by some into this country.
“I quote them that we may see how
they fit into our theory of life and
government. I quote them to illus
trate the theories which respectable
Americans must have in mind when
they say that fascism might be a good
thing in the United States.
There is no tenet of democracy
which fascism does not challenge.
There is not a vital principle of free
government with which this ruthless
creed is not in conflict. It is built,
and professes to be built, upon the
ruins of democracy. It is grounded in
force. It could not survive a fortnight
in the atmosphere of free discussion."
Speech Read From Manuscript.
For one of the first times in his j
career Borah read his speech from
manuscript instead of delivering it ex- j
temporaneously. It was obviously i
carefully prepared, and he followed It
closely. ,
He launched Into a discussion of
fascism’s methods by saying the effect
of the system could not be fully appre
ciated “until it comes in contact with
peoples who do not accept Its teach
ings.”
First he mentioned Italian retalia
tion for the assault on Marshal Gra
ziani, Italian viceroy at Addis Ababa,
in Ethiopia. He read press dispatches
describing mass slaughter of the na
tives by Italian soldiers.
“We have to go back to the days of
Attila to find anything to compare
with this ruthless destruction of help
less men, women and children,” he
said.
Same Thing in Spain.
Turning to Spain, Borah used sim
lar language.
“Here fascism presents to the world
its masterpiece,” he said. “So long as
men and women may be interested in
searching out from the pages of his
tory outstanding acts of cruelty and
instances of needless destruction of
human life, they will linger longest and
with the greatest horror over the sav
age story of the Fascist war In Spain.”
