Italian Minister Asks
Germany for Help
Says Nozis Are Defending
Own Soil in Sicily
B. the Associated Press.


BERN. Switzerland July 16. -
Rome has let it be known clearly
that the battle Of Sicily is Ger
many's fight.
On top of the continued pessi-
mistic tone of the Fascist press, pre-
pairing the people for further set
backs, Minister of Culture AleSsan-
dro Pavolini added an appeal to Ber-
lin which implied both criticism and
lack of italian ability or will to
support the struggle alone.
Germany is defending her own
soil in Sicily" said Pavolini in the
newspaper II Messaggero.
Dispatches from Rome further al
Iuded, for the first time since the in
vasion of Sicily, to the reaction of
the italian people against propa-
eanda. Some newspapers, trying to
tighten the gloom, have published
frivolous articles like the one that
parachute troops were sent on ahead
to locate good tennis courts for the
relaxation of advancing Allied
troops.
This does not react we'll on the
people" said Rome report to the
Neue zuercher zeitung. This was
the first published confirmation of
private information in foreign dip
iomatic circles that when the theory
of invasion became reality,
the propagandist-i inspired optimism
turned into quick gloom and apa-
thetic resignation.
Despite references to counter
movements on the plains of Ca
tania, the FaScists continued to
talk gloomily about the military
situation.
Guido Baroni in II Popolo di
Roma, told the people that they
must realize that the situation on
the eastern front is such that Italy
could count only on her present
fighting resources plus what might
come from Germany proper-ir

withdrawn from the Balkans

is busily trying to guard.
