NAZI WAR METHODS
PIRACY AT SEA
ITALIAN'S FRANKNESS
(Received March 16, 2.20 p.m.)
LONDON, March 15,
An unusually frank statement about the German methods of war was made by General Francisco Pricolo, the Italian Under-Secretary of Air, to an* audience which included Signor Mussolini; He said; that at sea the war had turned out to be only pirate warfare conducted by speedy cruisers in the open, ocean and by submarines in the Norjth Sea engaged almost entirely against merchant shipping. Aerial warfare had been more or less pirate warfare.
, He expressed the view.that air warfa^ in mass attacks against military objects or open towns had not yet begun because those who might start it feared retaliation, but he thought that when serious warfare began the air forces of the belligerents would be the determining factor.
