Statement Issued to the Press by the Secretary of State, December 27, 1929
The investigation of the incidents referred to in the article in Harper’s Magazine has been completed by this Department and it has not revealed any activities on the part of any residents in this country of Italian extraction or on the part of any Italian officials which were directed against this government or against its institutions.
So far as the dissolution of the Fascist League is concerned, inasmuch as the existence and purposes of that League have been the subject of adverse speculative comment and possible misunderstanding, I am glad to express my appreciation that the League has dissolved itself in the interest of removing those misunderstandings and better relations between this country and Italy.
