Final Disposal of Italian Fleet Not Decided
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 9. Recent statements relating to the disposal of the Italian fleet were mentioned by the Prime Minister when he told the House of Commons: “As President Roosevelt said, the question of the future employment and disposal of the Italian fleet has been the subject of some discussioh. In particular, consideration has been given to the immediate reinforcement of the Soviet navy, either from British, American or Italian resources. 44 At present no change is contemplated in the arrangements with the Italian naval authorities, under which Italian ships and crews take part in the common struggle against the enemy in the theatres where they now operate. It may well be found that the general question of enemy or ex-enemy fleet disposal should best be left over until the end of the war against both Germany and Japan, when the entire situation can be surveyed by the victorious Allies and they can decide what is right and just.”
