MESSAGE CONDEMNED
VIOLENT ITALIAN COMMENT.
GERMANY BITTER,
LONDON, April 17.
The Rome correspondent of the British United Press says that Signor Mussolini’s own newspaper, Popolo d’ltalia, violently condemns President Roosevelt’s message and calls on all Italians to reject it, declaring: “It does not clarify the international situation.” The Italian and German newspapers continue to attack President Roosevelt.
II Messagero says: “The message is part of the general attack by tiie democracies and should be considered an act of war. Italy’s answer will be made in full accord with Berlin.” Popolo d’Jroma, alleging that France is preparing for a naval war, says: “The imposing strength of the Fran coBritish forces cannot frighten us.”
A section of the Berlin Press suggests ironically that Germany will perhaps consider the Roosevelt offer if all the members of the conference are willing to return the territories taken from Germany at the point of the revolver over the conference table.
