agreement to delay consideration

' Qne of things for
' cratch, and for Herr Hitler to keep
a sharp eye on. Is the durability of
that Italo-NMi alliance. As a mat-
ter of fact it long hM been obvious
that Italian loyalty to the fuehrer
lent the cement which holds the
original Axis brotherhood together.
To put it bluntly, Italy is in much
the same position a* any of the
German-occupied countries—an un-
willing wearer of a yoke which
thus far hM been too heavy to
sake oft
It isn't strange, therefore, to get
a report from neutral Turkey that
secret negotiations for peace are
being undertaken in Rome with the
Allies. Now there may or may not
be a sound basis for this report but
from my own knowledge I am
confident that whether or not the
Italians actually are feeling about
for peace, they would jump at it if
they were free to do so.
But they aren't free.' Hitler’s
troops have their hob-nail boots
firmly on Italian soil. He hM coolly
and ruthlessly drained Italy of her
resources. Mussolini no tonger to
mMter tn his own house, but hM
reached the pitch of seeing hto land
turned into a German military base
over which he hM little control.
Long ago the people began to
swing from the once hypnotic per-
sonality of Mussolini back to ths
old king and the royal family. The
monarch once more to the Mg man
in the hearts of the great majority
of hte subjects. There is no doubt
that Italy would like Peace, and
white the king now to to effect a
prisoner in hto palace, the time
may come when he can act.
Such a peace would, of course,
mean unconditional surrender. The
Allies coujd accept nothing short
of that, but they already have made
it clear that the new world after
the war is to rest on justice and
