WEAKENED MORALE
OF THE'ITALIAN PEOPLE “WE HAD NO QUARREL WITH THEM.” COLLAPSE IN PROSPECT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, December 8. In a survey of Italy's general strategic position following Greece’s splendid resistance and .thrust, with the concomitant weakening of the enemy morale, the Sunday newspaper "Observer” takes the opportunity to underline the undoubted luke-warmness foe the war of the majority of the Italian people. “They know we had no quarrel with them,” it states. “The insane struggle to overthrow the British Empire was forced on them ancVan iron answer on us. The large majority hrd no heart in the war. Their good instinct told them it could only make them either the victims of a Nazi defeat or the jackals of a Nazi success. “When it is made plain to them that their continuance in the' war means certain misery and ruin they will revolt against it and leave it. Nothing that Fascism can do will prevent it if we know how to handle our side of the business.”
