Six Big Questions Arise
 On Surrender of Italians
(By Associated Press)

These are the questions arising out of the surrender of Italy:
 l. What becomes of the Italian fleet, built around seven battle ships, split between Pola on the Adriatic and Spezia on the Italian west coast?
 2. Will the Germans retire from Pc Valley in the north where they are reported to have IS or 20 di- visions?
 3. What will happen to 25 or 30 Italian divisions in the Balkans. France, and 250.000 Italian work men estimated to be in Germany?
 A. What effect will the Italian surrender have on the wavering morale of Hitler's Balkan satellites, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Croa- tia? The Hungarian policy has been linked more closely with Italy than Germany. All Balkan States nave shown signs of war weariness
 5. Does surrender include the French Island of Corsica, barely 30 miles off Southern France? The Italians occupied the island when the Allies landed in North Africa.
 6. Will scattered German units still in southern and central Italy be allowed to return to Germany?

Larqe Force of Germans in Italy to Meet Allies,
 Says Sfimson

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Amer- ican troops today landed in con- siderable force under It. Gen. Mark Clark in the vicinity of Naples, and are in contact with the German forces and making satisfactory pro- gress, Secretary of War Henry l. Stimson announces.
 The landings in the Naples area were effected several hours after the announcement of the Italian surrender, Stimson said, by Allied troops in considerable force, includ- ing units of the Fifth Army.
 The troops went ashore on sev- eral beaches and are already re- ported to have captured some Ger man prisoners, he added.
 "Capitulation of the Italian arm ed forces was a hard blow to the enemy" Stimson continued, but cannot be interpreted as meaning that the Italian Peninsula can be occupied without considerable hard fighting.
 AS many as 15 to 20 German divisions may be in Italy" he said This is a larger force than any met by the Allies in Tunisia or Sicily; furthermore, he added, "the Germans can increase their strength in Italy if they choose

German Military Spokes- man Gives Views
 on Situation

LONDON, Sept. g. A German military spokesman announced that north central Italy is occupied by German troops"
 A Berlin broadcast said insofar as the occupation has not been car ried out already, it is now being done. In most of the towns the Italians allowed themselves to be disarmed by the Germans without offering resistance" the broadcast declared.
 At the same time the Nazi mili- tary spokesman announced that Allied troops landed Tuesday on the Gulf of Eufemia at North Palmi, and were enveloped by German troops and their anihilation was imminent Wednesday evening"
 A Reuters dispatch from Stock holm said that Hitler held War Council today which decided to re- inforce the German Pc line In northern Italy and are preparing to fight to the last man.
 At the same time the German radio began issuing stream of orders apparently for the purpose of confusing the Italians by con- tradicting the earlier steps taken by the surrendering of the Badog- lio regime.

(By Associated Press)

Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham, Allied Naval Commander in the Mediterranean, has broadcast mes sage to the Italian fleet of merchant marine, telling them that German armed forces, following the sur- render of Italy, have become an open enemy of the Italian people and intend to seize your ships"
 Commanders of Italian ships were told to make Allied ports or at the worst, neutral ports, and merchant vessels unable to make port were told do not let your ships fall into German hands and in last resort scuttle them or resort to sabotage, rather than let them fall into the hands of the Germans to be used against Italy"

The w ashington Merry Round
By DREW PEARSON tMs,or Robert 6. Allen on active dutyJ
ED. NOTE-This is the first in a series of Washington Merry GO-ROund columns on the otate Department, now holding the spotlight in Washington.

WASHINGTON-Exceptf for two brief and faltering steps from l9lo to 1920 under Woodrow Wilson, ana from 1880 to 1882 under Henry l.. Stimson. the United States has never attempted to take any world leadership for peace.
 After Wilson's attempt failed, Secretary of State Stimson picked up the Kellogg pact, tried to give 1t teeth, and used it to the best of his ability to check the first Japanese rampage and the World War which he felt was sure to follow.
 Both of these attempts were blocked, partly by inertia at home, partly by old-fashioned European diplomacy in which British balance of-power politics played it's role, and partly by lack of preparation by our own diplomats to play major role in world affairs.
 The game was too new to us. Our State Department had been rutted too long in the comfortable grooves of traditional American isolation. Our diplomats had had dinned into them with their first ABC's that the U. S. A. would keep its fleet in the Pacific, rely on the powerful British fleet in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Never in their wild est dreams did they conceive the day when a badly crippled British fleet would rely on tn MS. Navy in European waters and that an American Army would be fighting in the Mediterranean.

 The pamphlets declared also the Italians are now backed by the might of the Allies in aiding them for expulsion of the eternal enemy from Italian soil"

BRITAIN's sEAPowER

Since the British fleet dominated the old World, the cardinal policy of the State Department was to follow British diplomacy not only in Europe. but the Near East, the Middle East and to a considerable extent the Far East. Only in Latin America did U. s. diplomats exert any degree of independence.
 This is cited here now not as a criticism, but to indicate how de- pendent our diplomacy was in those relatively simple days. and how much our diplomacy has to learn if we are now to write perman- ent peace.
 This is something in which the entire nation is vitally interested.
