BOMBING AND ARMISTICE
Rec. 11 a.m. RUGBY, September 22. Concerning the criticism of the bombing of Italy after the armistice, Mr. Anthony Eden said in the House of Commons:
"The first Italian envoy arrived in Madrid on August 15. We first received a telegram about it on August 16. He arrived at Lisbon on August 17. Our negotiations began from August 18 to August 19—the first day we knew there were people who had some credentials to negotiate. "The last occasion of the bombing of Milan was the night of August 15-IG. The last occasion of the bombing of Turin was the night of August 16-17. "Our information has been extremely accurate. We judged the Italians would not fight, and we judged aright. I had grave doubts whether they might not fight."—B.O.W.
