CONTROL OF ITALY
POLITICAL BAN RELAXED (Received Jan. 14, 11.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 13 The rigid ban on political activity in Southern Italy imposed by the A.M.G. has been relaxed, reports the j New York Times’ Washington correspondent. Political meetings are now permitted provided that they do not interfere with the prosecution of the war. Furthermore. the Allies apparently intend to abolish A.M.G. rule as rapidly as possible except in the forward areas. The Allied Control Commission, in which Russia is represented, does not wish to assume responsibility for the administration of Italy, but 1 merely to see that any Italian Government represents the majority of ' the people. It is firmly believed that a representative Italian Government is not achievable at least until ; the Allies free Rome. Some argue that the industrial masses in Northern Italy must first be allowed a voice in the formation of a Government.
