BERN, Switzerland, May 10
(P)-A renewed outburst of Ital-
ian press agitation for French
territories as a reward for Ital-
ian participation in the war has
confronted G. er m an with a
grave political problem at a mo-
ment when she is striving to
win French military cooperation
and bending every energy to-
ward the struggle on the eastern
front.

least some of these territories be
turned over now is the strong

Germany's problems, are similar
territorial squabbles b e w e n
