ITALY AND GREECE
Collaboration In Defence
(N.Z. Press Association-Copyright) LONDON. March 3. Mr Sophocles Venizelos, the Greek Foreign Minister, announced in Rome that Italy has agreed to collaborate closely with Greece and Turkey in discussing Eastern Mediterranean defence problems. He added that the three countries did not, for the moment, envisage Jugoslav participation.
Greece had no objections in principle to placing her army under the command of an Italian general. The main military obstacle to placing the Greek Army under the command of General Maurizio de Castiglionj, the Italian commander of the land forces of the Atlantic Pact, South Europe Sector, was that Greece is separated from Italy by Jugoslavia.
