BAD MOVE FOR ITALY
WAR CONSIDERED SENSELESS DISTURBED BY POLISH PARTITION PLANS HOPE TO PREVENT INVOLVEMENT OF BALKANS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 23, 3.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 22 The Rome correspondent of the New York Times reported by radiophone that Central European events moved badly for Italy to-day. There is a more vigorous press campaign about the “absurdity and criminality” of continuing the war, the criminals being Britain and France. The war has not touched Italy yet, but if it continues on present lines vital Italian interests will be involved. Apart from apparently a sincere belief that the war has ceased to have a raison d’etre and humanitarian motives, Italy has material reasons for seeing an end before the Balkans are, involved. The news that the final Russian and German division of Poland does not provide Polish State-based ethnic frontiers is most disturbing to Italy. It means that Italian suggestions have been ignored, and Russia and Germany are destroying one of Italy’s prime reasons for accepting Poland’s defeat.
