AUSTRALIA TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS
"APPROPRIATE EXPRESSION OF
REGRET"
SYDNEY, February 26
The Minister for External Affairs (Mr W. M. Hughes) announced today that diplomatic representations would be made by the Commonwealth Government to the Italian Government "for an appropriate expression of regret" at the assault made on a resident of Australia on board the Italian cruiser Raimondo Monte Cuccoli. Mr Hughes, who made the announcement after an interview with the acting Consul-General for Italy (Signor Cavaliere Arrighi), added: "I think is would be gracious as well as an appropriate gesture between friendly peoples if some financial recompense were made to Frigo Orlando, the man who was assaulted." . Mr Hughes said he intended to submit this view through the British Foreign Office and the British Ambassador in Rome.
