from its correspondent at Milan. Italy:
italian newspaper correspondents are
complaining Of the great delay in
transmission of kilograms filed in Lon

hours to reach Italy. As result the
German version of events always pre-
cedes the English version and infu-
ences Italian opinion to such an extent
that first Impressions, which always
are given by Germany. are most detri-
mental and difficult to correct.
The English authorities In their own
interests should give more facilities
