WORRY: Interest paid on trouble
before it is due.
Evening star., 1940-11-18

am grateful to the Fuehrer for hav-
ing accepted my offer. Nothing so
much as bloodshed together or
sacrifices endured in common cause
makes relations between peoples
solid and durable when they are
animated by absolute loyalty and
identity of interest and ideals. I am
certain our aviation and submarine
crews will honor our flags.
After long patience We stripped
the mask from the country guar
anteed' by Britain, from a deceit
full enemy Greece. 1t was a score
which was waiting to be settled.
One thing should be said and will
perhaps not fail to surprise some
Italian classicists who are not up
to-date The Greeks hate Italy as
no other people 1t is a hatred
which at first glance appears mex
pliCable, but in general is deep
seated and lnCurable in all branches,
in cities and in villages, high and
low everywhere.
SpeculateS on Reason
The reason is a mystery. Is 1t
perhaps because SantOrre and San
tarosa went from their native Pied
mont to die ingenuously and hero
ically for Greece at Sfacteria?
Perhaps because the Forlivese
Garibaldian, Antonio Fratti, re-
peated the same sublime gesture
of ingenuousness 10 years afterward
when he fell at Domokos?
These are questions, but the fact
exists Upon this hatred which
might be called grotesque, Greece
has founded its policy in recent
years. A policy Of absolute COM
plicity with Britain.
1t could not have been otherwise
since the King is English, the polit-
ical class is English and the bourse.
in both a figurative and literal
sense. is English.
This completely. manifested in
many ways and which in time Will
be irrefutably dOcumented was a
continuous act of hostility toward
Italy.
From papers found by the German
general staff in France, at Vitry and
LaCharlte. it is shown that since May
Greece had offered the French and
British all her air and naval bases.
1t was necessary to bring an end 10
this situation 1t was that which
was done October % when our troops
crossed the Greek Albanian border.

trouble to deny all the news given

loudspeakers. That Julia Alpine di-
visions which was supposed to have
suffered enormous losses, fled and
been pulverized by the Greeks was
seen by Gen. Soddu, who after his
visit telegraphed on November II:
Il went this morning to visit the
Julia Alpine Division and must re-
port a magnificent impression was

There were some among you old

must and will end with the ami

A strong people like the Italians
does not fear the truth. That is
why our war bulletins are docu-
mentations Of truth. We give the
blows we give and those we receive
the planes we shoot down and those
the enemy does, days that are IA
vorable and those only slightly so
or not at all We publish month by
month our losses in men and ma
terialS.
I would feel I was shrinking in
the eyes of my own people as we'll
as my own if I followed any other
method, such as covering up or
softenng reality, good or bad, as
the case may be To do that would
be to delude and humiliate the
people
l will never do it. I previously
and CategOriCally instructed the
military commands at the fronts
and civil authorities throughout the
country not to send TO Rome. from
which it must be subsequently dis
seminated, news which has not been
vigorously and personally say
personally-confirmed.
In this connection l want to recall
the shout of JOY raised in the
House of Commons when Churchill
finally was able to give the good
news: That concerning the action
carried out in the port of Taranto
by English torpedo planes. Actually
three ships were struck, but none Of
them was sunk. Only one. as an
nOunCed by the bulletin of our armed
forces, has been seriously damaged,
and its repair will take a long time
Claims Declared False
The other two, in the unanimous
opinion Of technicians, will quickly
be restored to their former eff
cheney. 1t is false-I say false
that two other warships and two
auxiliary vessels were sunk or hit
or slightly damaged in any way.
1t is a sign of bad conscience, this
enlargement and skiold multipIca-
ton Of the success We acknowledged
at first. Mr. Churchill, in order to
complete the picture, should have
been able to give his honorable
listeners some indication OF the fate
Of the Liverpool Kent and other
first-hne units recently torpedoed in
the Central Mediterranean or in
the port of Alexandria by Italian
submarines or torpedo planes.

truly comradely totalitarian. We
march side by side. This union OF
two peoples becomes ever closer and
extends to all fields of their military,
economical, political and spiritual
activity.
Our identity of views both for the
present and future are perfect.
My meetings with the Fuehrer
only consecrated this complete fu-
sion of our conceptions. When I
meet the Fuehrer I do not see in him
only the chief who created greater
Germany, the commander of armies
which have been proved by victory
in his brilliant strategical ideas
which sometimes have been ConSid-
cred more than audiacious, even
rash, but also this ! want to say:
Especially l see the inSpirer of the
National Socialist movement, a rev.
olutionist who awakened the Ger
onist in a new conception of the
world akin largely to that Of Italian
FaSciSm.
Meeting of Revolutions.
The identity Of views is a result
Of this revolutionary premise. 1t
springs from a meeting of two revo-
lutionS which, in both the interna-
tional and social fields, are scarcely
at the beginning of their march.
Everything concerning develop
ments of the ee-poWer pact, in
the west or in the Danubian basin,
is the result of common agreement,
as we'll as everything regarding the
future position of France. 1t now
is clear the axis does not desire a
peace of reprisal or rancor, but 1t
is equally understood that certain
claims must be satisfied.
These more than legitimate claims
could have been the subject of dis
cussion before the war if they had
not been countered by ridiculous
and tragic 'nevers"; when there was
some sign Of abandoning them 1t
was already too late. Italy had
chosen its path. by May, 1899.
The die was cast. But exactly
because of their legitimate character
our claims will have to be granted
without compromise or a temporary
settlement from which from now
on we reject categOrlcally. Only
after this total clarification will 1t
be possible for the new orbit OF the
new Europe to be created by the
axis to begin a new chapter IN
history in the hitherto so disturbed
relations between Italy and France.
Joint Peace Predicted.
1t is superfluous to state the peace
by armistice will be Joint peace;
that is, it will be an axis peace.
To conSecrate the fraternity Of
Italian-German arms I requested
the Fuehrer. who consented, that we
be permitted to participate directly
in the battle against Great Britain
with planes and submarines.
I add at once, Germany had no
need of our aid. The worth of its
fighters on land. sea and in the sky,
its industrial power, its organizing,
technical capacity. the output OF its
labor all are well known.
Figures on German airplane and
submarine production truly are re-

term. 1t must maintain the in
creased tempo of these difficult
times.
Certain universalistic pacifism of
unbalanced minds is being watched
and fought. 1t is out of order in
this effort of steel and cannon.
Nothing else exists outside this su-
preme aim for which we have taken
up arms.
