There was no immediate answer
whether 3adoglio would accept that
challenge. For most of his 60-odd
years, he was known as a supporter
of the reigning house of Savoy.
During the last 20 years he was
known as a disbeliever in Fascism,
but he tempered his lack of faith
in the Mussolini regime by accept
ing decorations and titles from the
now fallen II Duce.
To the successor of Benito Mus
solini and to all Italians including
members of the armistice- bound
armed forces, the President and
Churchill said pointedly:
FREED COUNTRY
you have already freed your
country from Fascist seryitude.
There remains the even more i'm
portant task of cleansing the Italian
sell from German invaders. Hitler.
through his accomplice Mussolini,
has brought Italy to the verge OF
ruin.
He has driven the Italians into
disastrous campaigns in the sands
of Egypt and the SHOWS of Russia.
The Germans have always deserted
the Italian troops on the battle
fields, sacrificing them contemptu-
ou5ly III order to cover their own
retreats. Now Hitler threatens to
subject you to all the cruelties he
is perpetrating in so many lands"
