The reasons given in the note for Italy s
declaration of war were the support
given by Turkey to the revolt in Linya.
and the prevention of the departure of
Italian residents from Syria.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria May "a, there never has been any
declaration of war between Italy and
Germany nor until now between Italy
and Turkey
Friction between Turkey and ITALY
however, has been evidence since shortly
after the latter's entry into the war.
Early in June there We're reports that
Italian consuls gradually were leaving
Turkey. Later charges were made that
the Ottoman government was preventing
consuls from leaving and that similar
coercion was being exerted over Italian
civilians who wished to quit Turkish soil.
On July 20 Rome advices said Italy had
addressed a note to the United States
asking it to use its influence 60 protect
Italian subjects in Turkey. The COM

from leaving was reiterated.
