FRIENDLY TO BRITAIN
REMOVAL OF XjkOOPS A LDANIAN -GREEK .BORDER BALKANS PEACE MENACED (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Atsu.) (Reed. Sept. 22, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept, 21. The Rome correspondent of the New York Times in a radiophone message says that considering the close relations between Greece and England, the Italian decision to withdraw her forces from the GreekAlbanian border is equivalent to a friendly guesture toward London. Italy was expected automatically to invade Greece if she entered the war on Germany’s side. Now it has been made clear that site does not intend to carry out that threat. Her prime consideration in the Balkans is to maintain peace and the territorial status quo.
It is not pleasing to Italian statesmen to see Russia entering the Balkans.
It is impossible to understand the general opinion in Italy towards the war, however, without realising that it is based on complete and honest inability ito understand the AngloSaxon point of view. To all but one in a thousand, a world war in order to destroy Hitlerism is a “monsterous aberration” as the newspaper Tribuna puts it. Commenting on Herr Hitler’s speech, the entire press stresses hi? will for peace.
