Italy Seen Continuing
In Axis Only if Nazis
Defend Whole Country
Germons Reported Trying
To Convince BodoeIio Po
PIon Hos Been Dropped
BY the Associated Press.

MADRID. July %. Italians
who arrived here by plane from
Rome during the past "a hours
declared today that Italy would
continue the war on the side of
the Axis only if Germany gives
adequate aid to the defense of
Southern Italy against the
threat of Allied invasion.
The last direct word from Rome
received here. apart from official
communiques from the new gov
ernment, indicated that the Ger
mans were still trying to convince
Premier Pietro Badoglio that they
have abandoned plan to retire be-
hind the Pc River and would fight
with Italy in defense of Central and
Southern Italy against any Allied
thrust.
These reports said. however. that
Bsdoglio and King Victor Emman-
uel must decide how long they can
ride the wave of enthusiasm which
greeted the virtual end of Fascism
and whether the people, after their
wild demonstrations over what
seemed to them liberation. could
buckle down and continue the fight
beside the Nazis-the allies chosen
by the regime whose downfall they
celebrated.
Vatican Reported Active.
What Badoglio may decide to do
in this respect is not yet known,
but dispatches to Spanish newspa-
pers reported that Vatican City was
a beehive of activity 1t was point
ed out here that if Bado9lio wants
to talk to the Allies. Vatican City
would be an ideal place for the con-
versations.
Representa- tives of the Vatican
in Madrid were silent regarding pos
sibilities of peace talks between
Italy and the Allies being conducted
in Vatican City.
Italians who left Rome last night
asserted that Prime Minister
Churchill's speech to the House of
Commons had larger radio audi
ence in Italy than any Allied broad
cast since Italy entered the war
The speech was broadcas in Italian
Dy the British Broadcasting Corp.
Churchilrs Warning Heard.
The Fascist ban on foreign
broadcasts had disappeared with
the downfall of Mussolini, these
Italians said, and Mr.. Churchills
warning that the Badoglio govern
ment had not yet approached the
United Nations fell on receptive
ears.
Stefani, Italian news agency,
broke a two-day silence on news
from Italy with dispatches saying
that public services were operating
normally today with the majority
of stores and shops open. Stefani
added that dispositions were taken
by the authorities to safeguard the
public order, which was observed
Dy the public with strict discipline"
Another Rome dispatch noted a
visit by Queen Elena to the Reina
Elena Hospital where she talked to
persons who were injured in the
American air raid on Rome. The
visit, the dispatch said. gave occa-
sion for enthusiastic demonstrations
of support to the House of Savoy"
