(Monarchist or Right Wing) reported to have been organized in Italy. -

purported to be a Left Wing organization, it has Mbnarchist tendencies,
Pronto Moderato Nazionale (FM) is the new name of the recently formed
Lege. Anti-Bolscavica. Thin movement whose headquarters are at 2 Via
Camperio in Milan is believed to have a large group of adherents. It
ms founded by the lawyer Bianco Giovanni Pietro,. a former member of
the Time qualnnque and an intimate friend of Giannini
e. The PRP end Fig ere said to be closely connected with Francesco Paolo
Orlando us PartiteiCommunista indipendente. This movement, although
ecpposedly Communist, i3 allegedly financed by the Monarchista for the

5. In general, neo-FascisM in Northern Italy is directed by former offi-
cer operating under the namenof "Colonel M." The movement which in-
cludes in its ranks General Mario Caraccio/o appears to be closely
linked with certain Free Mason elements through Generals Navarra Viggiani
and Alessandro Piazzoni. Much of theneo-Fascist activity in Northern
Italy, however, can apparently be traced to minor local agitators opera-
ting independently and sporadically.
