ITALY’S CONCERN
PRESSING FOR CESSATION OF WAR POLISH PARTITION AH UPSET NEW YORK, September 22. (Received September 23, at 2.30 p.m.) The Rome correspondent of the New York Times ’ reported by radiophone that the Central European events have moved badly for Italy. Today 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. If it continues on its present lines vital Italian interests will bo involved. Apart from the apparently sincere belief that the war has ceased to have a raison d’etre and humanitarian motives, Italy has material reasons for seeing it end before the Balkans arc involved. The nows of the final Russian-Ger-man division of Poland does not provide for a Polish State based on ethnic frontiers, and this is most disturbing to Italy. It means that the Italian suggestions have been ignored, Russia and Germany destroying one of Italy’s prime reasons for accepting Poland’s defeat.
