FIRST AXIS PROPOSAL
DIRECTED AT COMMUNISM (Recd. 9 p.m.) Washington, Feb. 17. Virginio Gayda’s statement that Italy could consider peace negotiations with Britain and America is the first open peace appeal by an Axis spokesman, commented Elmer Davis at his press conference. Mr. Davis added that heretofore German broadcasts denied the existence of peace overtures, at the same Lime suggesting that Britain and America would have to support Germany in order to destroy the menace of Communism. Mr. Davis remarked that the Axis started a propaganda campaign the day the German forces suffered their first defeat on the eastern front, but the campaign was failing in neutral countries and had only a slight effect in Britain and America.
