A LONG WAR
BRITISH EXPECTATION
ITALY'S CHOICE
NO GREAT SUCCESSES AT LITTLE COST
(By TeJegrapl)—Press Association—Copyright.! (Received June 11, noon.) LONDON, June 10. The Ministry of Information has issued a Press notice, which concluded:
"This is to be a long war. Unless Germany collapses unexpectedly, it will be fought, as Mr. Churchill declared, on the oceans, on the land, and in the air with the vast resources at the disposal of the Allies, until the German menace has heen lifted from Europe. "There can be no hope, therefore, of Italy obtaining great successes in a short while and at little cost. She will be called upon for great sacrifices—and to whose advantage?— Germany's. The Allied Governments for some time have discounted the decision of Italy to enter the war as Germany's vassal. . . . Their preparations are complete, and they will know how to meet sword with sword."
