ROME AS TARGET
NOT TO BE DECLARED OPEN CITV
ACCORDING TO ITALIAN PAPER.
ARTICLE ATTRIBUTED TO MUSSOLINI. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, July 2.Rome will not be declared an open city, according to an unsigned editorial in “Popolo d’ltalia” attributed to Mussolini, says the “New York Times" Berne correspondent. The editorial said: “Negotiations toward this end have completely broken down. The would-be negotiators in London are seeking alibis for the forthcoming aerial attack on Rome before it could be declared an open city. Rome would have to be abandoned by three-quarters of the population and four-fifths denuded. Even if this were done, the enemy would still find some pretext for bombing the city. There are some humiliations nobody can accept."
