nouncement recently that Russia has
been allotted her share" of the Italian
fleet which came into the possession of
the allies when Italy collapsed and
= Churchill'S proclamation few hours
later that the fleet has not been appor-
toned and Will continue in its present
. war status sill remain a puzzle to OBJ
servers. Il sounded like q complete con-
tradiction from London and, inasmuch
as there has been no further announce
. ment advising the world of the division
it is to be presumed Churchills word
was final.
The immediate repercusSion to RooSe
. velt's statement, made at press confer
ence. was to arouse Marshal Badoglio,
, head of the Italian regime who threaten
. ed to withdraw his support from the al
lies. The President said in his announce
: ment that Russia had made request for
: her share. SO far this has brought no
I. response from Moscow, but Stain is
/. quite busy fighting on land and he may
. take it up as soon as he needs ships on the
/. Black Sea, toward which he is headed.
/. There has been no recorded request for
+. passage of any fleet through the Dar-
|. danellaS for Black Sea ports And so,
. it again, is presumed Churchill either
knows what he is talking about or block
led any move to divide the fleet at this
time.
/. The incident has emphasized the diff
'ferences of views at 10 Downing street

sBadoglio government Churchill has been
skindly disposed over the demands of
. .Badoglio for an equal footing as an ally.
At Washington this request has not been

tween Britain and the United States in
regard TO this whole matter.
It is pointed out by some that Roose-
welt had pulled a fast diplomatic man
euver in retaliation" for Churchills
,st9nd toward Badoglio. This opinion has
mot been clarified and it needs just that
because it is quite evident Churchill was
not put in any Diplomatic hole If he
was be pulled the hole in after him and
left no trace.
The incident has not served to weld
italians to the allied cause, nor has it
revealed any special development in the
southern Europe phase of the war.
Comment is directed to the situation
at Anzio where the allies are stalemated
and this comment cites need of every
available warship there, no matter what
flag the ship might fly.
Further comment is to the effect that,
of the few statements of this characer
