CONDITIONS BAD IN ITALY
NEW YORK, September 17. Highly placed Americans returning to the United States from Italy paint a gloomy picture of conditions in Italy. They say that Mussolini, ill and disappointed, is reported to be living in semi-seclusion surrounded by the Gestapo. The Italian people are openly saying that they would prefer to become a British colony rather than a German colony.

Food everywhere is rationed and it is almost impossible for the average peasant to purchase clothing and shoes.
