ITALIAN LOYALTY
Recd. 6 p.m. New York, Sept 30. With negotiations between the Allies and Marshal Badoglio drawing to an end, it is assumed that the Allies will attempt to solidity the loyalty of the Italians to King Victor Emmanuel by presenting him as being "In a protective setting of other leaders who could attract the sympathy of liberals.” says the Algiers correspondent of the New York Times. The political picture shows that the Allies are about to take a major political step in Italy which is certain to draw critical attacks at home but which the commanders believe to be best in the prosecution of the war. Italy is now described in London as a “co-belligerent" of the United Nations in the fight against Germany, but it is emphasised that this position does not confer on her any special rights or status. On the contrary, it is taken to mean that Italy is being given a chance to “work her passage” and that final enforcement of the armistice terms will depend on how the Italians co-operate with the British and American forces.
