Badogio, King
Denounced bv
Club Sneaker

Bitter denunciation OF Premier
Badoglio, King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy and Fascism was voiced by
Mario Salvador, author. lecturer
and professor at Columbia Univer-
sity, before the Womans National
Democratic Club yesterday.
Mr.. Salvador, who was born and
raised in Rome during the regime
Of Benito Mussolini, told how he
lost faith in the Fascist theories
with which he had been indoctri-
mated while studying in London
under an international fellowship.
His reputation Of Fascism led to
his eventual departure from Italy
for this country, where he expects
TO receive his citizenship papers
within few weeks.
The Italian people have been
fighting Fascism for 20 years, Mr..
Salvador declared, explaining how
many of the reported Italian de
feats" in the present war were due
to lack of sympathy by the Italian
soldiers for the cause for which
they were fighting.
THE Italians have not fought
anywhere because they did not
want to fight" he asserted. 1--WE
heard numbers of officers say when
the war began. We'll be sent to the
front but we won't fight"
The speaker deplored the length
of time which the Italian govern
ment took in accepting the Allies
terms Of surrender, thereby per-
hitting the Nazi occupation of Italy.
He placed the blame for the delayed
action armistice upon Premier Ba-
doglio, who, he declared, pretended
to destroy the facade of Fascism, "
while in reality he was cooperating
with the Nazis. Badoglio, he added,
received instructions from the King,
who, he added, signed away the
constitutional rights of Italians
years ago in favor of Fascism.
Mr.. Salvador told of the contin-
ued resistance of italians in Nazi-
occupied parts of the country to
the German invaders. Over $780,
600 workmen struck week ago, he
commented, while 100000 Italian
guerrillas continue to fight with as
much effectiveness as any guerrilla
fighters in Europe
Italy will be satisfied only with
a republican form of government
following the war, he concluded.
Until the conclusion of the war, Mr..
Salvador added, the Italian people
only asked for "a ray of hope" that
Italy, who for so long held her place
among the great respected nations
of the world, may again be given
that place after the war.
Mr.. Salvador was introduced by
Mrs. Norman Littell, program chair
man. Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, the
president. presided.
