TO OFFSET ITALIAN DEFEATS
HINTS IN ROME INVASION OF BRITAIN IN NEW YEAR [British Official Wireless] (.Received 30th December. 1 p.m.) RUGBY, 29th December. Agency news messages show that neutral correspondents in Rome are now receiving hints from official circles there of important developments of a decisive nature in the very near future, and they report that the Italian public is being persuaded to expect some early favourable move to offset the recent Italian defeats. The German attack on Britain is promised for early in the New Year. Italian newspapers are telling their readers that the attack wil. take place in a surprise form and that many new secret weapons will be used. This last touch is recognised here as a familiar formula in a war of nerves.
