HITLER & MUSSOLINI ANTICIPATIONS OF CRISIS. DESIRE FOR SEPARATE PEACE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 6. Relations between Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini are strained, says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Lisbon correspondent. Hiller, though he does not dare tG risk the political repercussions of an . open breach, feels that he can no longer rely on Mussolini. to carry out his instructions and to keep Italy in Subjection. Well-informed neutrals say that Signor Farinacci, Secretary of the Fascist Party, has become the instrument of German authority in Italy. He is stated to take orders directly from Hitler, communicating and negotiating with Berlin over the head.of Mussolini, the correspondent says. Since the flow of Italian troops into Russia ceased, Hitler has accused Mussolini of bad faith or inability to control his own military machine. Mussolini probably intended to comply with Hitler’s request for 1,000,000 troops, but he was checked by the pressure at home. Meanwhile Farinacci is making wholesale dismissals of local government officials. Many States and municipal employees have been transferred to the mainland from Sicily, and this gives credence to reports of a new political movement in Sicily. The correspondent continues: “Many observers foresee a crisis in Italy. The upper and middle classes feel that the war is already lost. The eventual result will be a revolution, in which the dynasty might succumb. Count Sforza is believed to be one of the men behind a move for an Italian breakaway from the Axis and a separate peace with Britain.”
