RESENTMENT IN ITALY
REACTION TO MOSCOW DECISIONS 'Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON. Dec. 30. “A feeling of deep mortification is general in Italy as a result of the Moscow discussions,” says the Rome correspondent of “The Times” “Italy bitterly resents being placed on the same level, as Hungary, Rumania, and Bulgaria. “It is true that the Cabinet issued a, statement after a meeting on Saturday, saying that it firmly expects that Italy’s standing as a co-belligerent will be given due consideration: but even such sober critics as Professor Eonomi speak of a ‘grave injustice* done to Italy.” The correspondent adds: “Unless the treaty terms compensate the present set-back, a dangerous twist will have been given Italian thought people are saying already that only a Communists’ government could sign peace terms obviously dictated by Russia. Some of the most serious observers fear that the dissatisfaction is creating tne spirit of aggrieved nationalism on which Mussclini founded Fascism.”
