INVASION THROUGH ITALY SUGGESTED
(Rec. 11.30 p.m.) CANBERRA, Sept. 1. The theory that the invasion of Central Europe might best be tackled through Italy and the Southern Balkans was advanced by Rear-Admiral Georges Thierry D’Argcnlieu, Fghting French High Commissioner in the Pacific. While in his opinion a Channel invasion would liberate Northern France and the Low Countries, he thought it would be a difficult base for an invasion of Germany because of the enemy’s defensive strength in the west. It was of major importance that Germany and Italy should be pushed right out of Africa. If the Allies still possessed the initiative at Dakar they should act there immediately.
