Italy's Position.
What has made the Axis position
even worse than it had been until
some months back was the fall of
MuSSolini on July 25. It does look as
though the new government, headed
by Marshal Pietro Badoglio, really
wants to stay in the war-not be-
cause that would rhyme with its
own innermost desire, but because
it is afraid of what Hitler may do to
Italy.
Time and again the United Nations
have offered Italy peace on the basis
of complete and unconditional sur
render, and there can be but little
doubt that the great majority of the
country's forty-six million inhabit-
ants would prefer peace to continued
war. For, after all, Italy is in a
much worse shape than is even Ger
many, and there is no compelling
reason why the country should keep
on fighting, knowing with all the
overwhelming clarity of never end
ing disaster, that it cannot recover
lost ground.
Bombs.
From London and Washington word
had been sent to Rome that unless
there were an unconditional sur
ran6pr aoponfonpo within roocon
able time, Italy would have to suf-
fer the consequences.
In order to give the Italians
fOretaste of them, British and
American bOmbers have attacked
Milan, Turin and Genoa, as well
as other Italian cities, and it is
quite evident that unless Rome
is proclaimed an open city, even
that eternal city" will not escape
further ravages by high-power
bombs.
AT the same time, it is very pos
sible that Berlin will be bombed as
terribly aS-or perhaps even more
terribly than-Hamburg and that
such bombings may have taken place
before these lines are being read
Berliners are said to be fleeing from
their city by the hundred thousands
in fear of what is almost bound to
come.
So, generally, the situation all
around looks pretty gloomy for the
Axis powers, and this is the one out
standing fact which makes it posi-
BILE for some of the rumors here
mentioned to be least partly cor
rect.
