ney predicted that Germany
won't last another winter"
Senator Clark D-Idano) called
it an occasion for rejoicing, but
said 1--WE should not let this good
news make us TOO optimistic or
overconfident.
ANY slackening of effort would
be bad" he added.
In military quarters, it was
pointed out that many questions
still were unanswered and should
check optimism.
A major one is whether the
Italian government will be able to
deliver the country physically in
to Allied hands. There are still
many German divisions at least in
the northern part of the peninsula
and the job of taking possession
may be in itself major cam
paign. A corollary question is
what help, if any. the Italians may
give in ejecting the Germans
from Italy.
Still another matter awaiting
Qualification is the condition and
eventual disposition of the Italian
fleet of some 100 odd units includ-
ing seven battleships.
There was general speculation
that Prime Minister Churchill,
who already has been here a
month, might continue his stay
until some of these questions are
answered.
Another matter for Roosevelt
Churchill deliberations also is
what to do with Musso1ini, pre-
suming he is now delivered into
Allied hands. This might be a
subject, too, for consideration al
the meeting with Premier Stain
which Mr.. Roosevelt indicated
yesterday had about been ar,
ranged.
There were indications at the
capitol that the development might
figure in the debate over drafting
fathers. Legislators questioning
the necessity of this step have
contended that military develop
ments have been much more IA
vorable than were anticipated
when the Army originally estimat-
ed its manpoWer needs.
Senator Burton (R-Ohio) sug-
gested that it should speed action
by the United States on a post
war program to maintain peace.
'Italy's surrender" he said,
certainly is step in our favor,
and the event emphasizes the ur-
gency for progress toward adop-
ton of a postwar program by the
Congress.
