“ITALIAN AFFAIR”
PROBLEMS OF STATE AMERICAN - ATTITUDE (9 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. “The United States has informed both Britain and Italy that the United States expects the Italian people to develop their Government without influence from outside,” says a State Department announcement. "This Government has not in any way intimated to the Italian Government that there would be opposition to Co dpt Sforza.” The statement added, that the policy of permitting people to solve their own Government problems would apply to an even more pronounced degree in the liberated territories. The position of the United States Government has been consistently that the composition of the Italian Government was a purely Italian affair except in the case of appointments where important military factors were concerned. Since Italy is in the area of combined responsibility, the United States has reaffirmed to both the British and the Italian Governments that the United States expects the Italians to work out Government problems along democratic lines without influence from outside.
