DEBATE IN COMMONS

POST-WAR CO-OPERATION

Rec. 11 a.m

RUGBY, September 22.

In the war debate in the House of Commons, Mr. Arthur Greenwood said there was the sincerest desire that after the war there should be the closest possible relations between Britain, the United States, and the Soviet. He appreciated the possibility of differences arising between the United States and the Soviet. Some, indeed, were already apparent, but not the greatest empire in the world could, after this war, live unto itself alone. Referring to Britain's attitude towards Italy, he said that the United Nations had appealed to the Italians to join in the task of ridding Italy of the Germans and liberating the country. He urged that the liberation should mean the opposite of the Germans' conception of "liberation," and said that "liberty" should me emblazoned on all the flags of the nations advancing against the enemy. ' Other members criticised the bombing of Milan and Turin after the fall of Mussolini and also Mr. Churchill's absence from England. They also criticised the United' Nations for treating with Badoglio and Victor Emmanuel.—B.O.W.
