Today -100: November 24, 1924: Stupid and idiotic violences are, of course, the worst kind of violences

The Egyptian government responds to the British ultimatum, agreeing to apologize for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack but not accept responsibility for it, given that they didn’t actually do it or order it or condone it. They agree to pay the £500,000 but reject all the other demands (irrigation, pulling out of the Sudan, etc). Lord Allenby demands the money by the next day.

Mussolini says Fascism is aware it must stop its “stupid and idiotic violences.”
