| Notes | The Italian consuls reported large numbers of unemployed Italian migrants in Bona (Algeria), where many Italians ended up begging in the streets, and in Tunis, where many Italians were in dire straits. The Director General of Police instructed the Prefects to inform the Italian population about this situation and warn it against “the shameful and fraudulent enticement by Migration Agents who, out of greed, push our peasants towards the most heartbreaking poverty”. The Prefects were also instructed to “assiduously prevent clandestine migration and repress its promoters”. |
