Limited service men face regrouping perfectly futile ordeals of destruct lion and to revive the former democratic and parliamentary institutions. % Quot these they can Tiave the Choice is in their hands and what is the alternative tile germans naturally desire that Italy shall become a Battleground a preliminary Battleground and that by italian suffering the ravages of War shall be kept As far away As possible and As Long As possible from the German fatherland. If the italian government and people choose that the germans ought to have their say there is to Choice left to us. We shall continue to make War in Italy in every Quarter. North and South and from the sea and from the air and by amphibious descents we shall also Endeavor to bring the utmost rigor of War increasingly upon them. Orders to this effect have been Given to All the Allied commanders concerned. Ultimate results Quot the decision by tile italian government and people to continue under the German Yoke will not effect seriously the general course of the War. Still less will it alter i its ultimate results. The Only consequence will be that in the next few months Italy will be seared and scarred and blackened from one end to the other. T know Little or nothing of the new government. I express no opinion mgt on it. But it is obvious that As far As their own Jie Ople Are concerned they have a very important decision to make. Meanwhile. I am anxious that various processes by which this decision is reached shall be allowed to run their course under no other pressure than that of relentless War this operation May Well take some time there May he several stages of transition. Past experience shows that in cases of great changes. Of government of a nation very often one stages rapidly succeeded by another. I cannot Tell. I cannot Tell. So far we have had no approaches from the italian government and therefore no new decision is called for from us except those decisions connected with bringing the maximum Avalanche of fire and steel udon our targets of Mhz tar is Quot in finance throughout the length and breadth of Italy Quot however. I must utter a word continued from Page i in practice turn the sense of liberation which it May soon be in our Power to bestow upon me italian people into sullen discontent against us into All our works. I certainly do not wish. In tile Case of Italy to tread a path that might Lead to execution squads and concentration Camps and above All to carry on our shoulders a lot of people that ought to be made to carry themselves. Therefore my advice to the House of commons and to the British nation and to the common weak us and Empire and to our allies at this juncture May be simply stated Stew in own juice Quot we should let the italians to use a homely phrase Stew in their own juice for a bit. And heat lip the fire to accelerate the process until we obtain from their government or whoever possesses the necessary authority All indispensable requirements we demand for carrying on the War against our prime Ana capital foe which is not Italy but Germany. Quot it is in the interests of Italy and also in the interest of the allies that unconditional surrender of Italy should be brought about wholesale and not piecemeal. Whether this can be accomplished or not i cannot Tell. But the people of this country an elsewhere who cannot have necessary knowledge of All forces at work. Or assigned True value to the various ties on the russian front far exceeding in scale any of the operations in which we and the United slates have hitherto been engaged on land have in the month of july inflicted very deep injuries on the German armies. The systematic shattering of German cities continues remorselessly and with every growing weight. The san it of revolt arises higher in All subjugated lands. The German oath is being maintained from the North Cape in Norway to the Island of Crete Only by hideous and ruthless cruelty reprisals and massacres. The German Hopes of the a boat warfare turning the tide of the War Are sinking As fast As the u boats themselves. The whole Outlook of the nazi party and regime their whole Ide i logical Outlook As it is called will be disturbed and darkened by events which happened and Are going to Liapin. In Italy and the overflow and casting Down in shame and the ruin of the first of the dictators and aggressive War lords sounds the Knell of impending doom of those that wednesday july 28, 1943 Martinique gets food first lend lease supplies arrive of life the the the facts Washington.

Now that Mussolini is gone and with the exception of men Phy Lon r i is ror Sinh a and irretrievably broken we should be foolish to deprive ourselves of any Means of coming to general conclusion with the italian nation.

We certainly do not seek to abuse the italian life to a condition of chaos and anarchy and find ourselves without any authority with whom to Deal. Burden on army so doing we should our armies and upon Lay our been produced by the diesel engine division of general motors. It was announced Here. Known As the it is already being used on Landing barges of the u. S. Navy it was reported. Legion membership at record High Indianapolis enrolment in the american legion has reached a record High of 1,136,290 members and is expected to exceed a i million and a half before the year j ends it was reported by legion officials. Thousands of soldiers and sailors of this War discharged because of wounds or other disabilities have joined officials said. Quot by upon War Effort the Burden of occupying mile by mile the entire country and of forcing the individual surrender of every army or coherent Force in every District into which our troops might enter. A great task of Garriso Ning policing and administering will be thrown upon us involving grievous expenditure of Power and still More of time Quot we must be careful not to get ourselves into the kind of position into which the germans have blundered in so Many countries namely of having to Mold Down and administer in detail Day by Day. By a system of Gaul enters. The entire life of a very Large population. And thereby becoming responsible under the hard conditions of this present period for the w Hole of the Upkeep and Well being. Such a course might Well and factors should. I think at this Junction be restrained in speech and writing in Case they May add to the tasks toils Anc. Losses of our armies. Quot in All these affairs we Are of course acting in closest concert with the United slates our equal partners and Good Gallant partner in this new tremendous Mediterranean Enterprise our russian friends Are also being kept regularly informed. The Aillet i commanders in the Mediterranean theater Are in closest accordance and British and United Sta is armies under their leadership Are working As if they were in an army of one single nation. Our two governments Are in continuous consultation and association through the foreign office and i Corre Sixma it Erson Aliy almost daily under the authority of the War Cabinet with president Roosevelt. Vote of Confidence Quot i conceive that his majesty a government had the right to ask for a solid and sustained Confidence of parliament. Atter years of extreme difficulty and danger. We Are conducting an increasingly successful War and policy and we feel sure that the House would not wish us to be deprived of the fullest Freedom to act in the name and in the interests of the nation. At this particular and timely Junction it is extremely important that full latitude should be continued to be accorded to the government by the House and that no diminution of responsibility of the executive should be attempted and that no untimely or premature explanation should be sought. Quot questions have been addressed to the Leader of the House about a debate. It May be possible for me to make some further statements not Only on the Mediterranean position but upon the War As a whole before the House arises. I should be quite willing if this were possible but i cannot at present Promise to do so because i do not know whether any Point will be reached during the next week from which a general Survey can usefully be made. Very Complete vivid and excellent accounts Are appearing in newspapers of All operations. Quot what is Italy As a War unit Italy is. Or rather it was about one tenth of the Power of Germany. The German tyranny is being violently assaulted and set upon from every Side. Mighty Bat c Ensor Swilp c curtain nevertheless let us not allow this favourable inclination of our fortunes to Blind us to the immensity of the task before us or of tile exertion still to be made the privation and tribulations still to be endured and overcome. Quot German National strength is still massive. German armies so seriously mauled by three russian campaigns Are still intact and quite unbroken. Hitler has under his orders Over 300 German Divi Sions. Excluding satellites. Three quarters of them Are Mobile and most of them continue to be Well equipped. We Are still fighting some of these divisions in Sicily at this moment and. As we see. They offer stubborn resistance in positions Well adapted to defence. The authority of Central government in Germany grips and pervades every form of German life. The resources of a dozen lands Are in their hands for exploitation. The Harvest prospects Are reported to be fairly Good this nazi War machine is a hateful incubus upon Europe which we Are resolved utterly to destroy. And the affairs of Italy must be handled with that supreme object constantly in View Quot both our strategy and our policy. I venture to claim have been vindicated by events and i look Forward to offering to the parliament As months unfold further convincing proof of this assertion Quot but we cannot afford to make any Large mistake which we can by careful forethought avoid nor can we afford to prolong by any mismanagement the sombre journey in which we will persevere to the Washington.
