BRITAIN BLAMED FOR RIOTS
“Savage Repression” By Police
(Rec. 11 p.m.) ROME, November 6. The influential Government newspaper “11 Messagero” today blamed the British and American occupation authorities, particularly the British, for the incidents yesterday in Trieste. “One must think that those responsible for public order lost their sense t o allow the police to react barbarously to what could have been a natural, and in substance, an innocent exuberance of youth. One must think this because it would be too grave to think the savage police repression was not only foreseen, but provoked with intentions hostile to Italy and the Italian cause.”
The newspaper said the governments of London and Washington, especially the former, should consider giving their representatives in the ironically so-called Free Territory, instructions called for by the delicacy of the present situation. “What is happening in Trieste carries largely an English trademark.” The Italian Communist Party’s paper “Urrita” described the Trieste bloodshed as the fruits of Italy’s Atlantic policy.
