POLITICAL MEETINGS
Ban Lifted In Southern Italy
(Rec. 8.501 NEW YORK. Jan. 13. The rigid ban on political activity in Southern Italy imposed by the Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories has been relaxed reports the Washington correspondent of the “New York Times." Political meetings are now permitted provided that they do not interfere with the prosecution of the war. Furthermore, the Allies apparently intend to abolish Amgot rule as rapidly as possible except in the forward areas. The Allied Control Commission on which Russia is represented. does not wish to assume the responsibility for the administration of Italy, but merely to see that any Italian Government represents the majority of the people. It is firmly believed that a representative Italian Government cannot be achieved at least until the Allies free Rome. Some argue that tlie industrial masses in Northern Italy must first be allowed a voice in the formation of a Government.
