The British were represented by

Eight members of the Canadian
cabinet compromise the dominion
war committee.
The Churchill Roosevelt discus
sions have been expected ever
since swift developments of the war
followed their last meeting in Wash
ington in May.
Since then, Russian has taken the
offensive from. Germany in east
ern Europe; the Allies have seized
all but a corner of Sicily and ap-
parently are contemplating an in
vasion of Italy itself; aerial war;
fare on Germany has been ex-
panded with unparalleled intensity;
effective measures have been taken
against the submarine menace
to Atlantic supply lines, and the
Japanese have been pushed out of
vital pacific bases.
Viewed in their entirety, these
Allied successes seemed to call for
a realignment of strategy and poll
cies for the phases of the war now
in progress and those that lie ahead
on the European continent and in
the far east.
They have raised problems, too,
involving political, administra-
tive and relief issues which must
be solved in areas which may be
Wrested from enemy control.

The original non-deferrable list

Speaker said the action would
not alter the plans for drafting

would affect sharply the order in

pron our bayonets, and it would
fall hen to all the consequences
Of MuSsolini's crimes.
Could The free Italy we hope for
in the tuture possibly get off to

Does it not follow that at this
stage our own interests and those
of the free Italy of the future will
best be served by an Italian gov
ernment composed of soldiers and
functionaries who have no political
future? They are the men who
helped get Italy into her trouble:
they are the men who have moth
ing more to lose, and may even
have something to gain for them
selves personally, by taking the
onus of admitting the defeat, by
extricating Italy, and then, while
Italy is an active theater of war,
by carrying out our orders.
If the King and Badoglio canno
perform these necessary functions
then we ought to desire, l believe
that some other member of tn
House of Savoy and another gen
eral or official should replace
them. But let us not invite, OF
compel, the men of the Italian flu.
ture to ruin themselves in Iquidat.
ing what Mussolini has brought
upon his country. The time may
come before the war ends. when
popular forces in Italy can bring
Italy actively into the war against
Germany. But it will not come
until after the Axis connection has
been completely DESTROYED by the
pressure of our military forces on
the outside and by the Italian peo-
pie inside upon the old line Italian
leaders.
In the case of Germany, we do
not need and we do not want a
German government with a Ger
man army. We may hope for an
taIlan army eventually at our
S~oe because the war is not over

1rmany is defeated, the Euro
pean war is over and, whatever

hally' there can be no German
