BADOGLIO BROADCASTS
MESSAGE TO SICILIAN PEOPLE. LONDON, August 18. Marshal Badoglio, in a three-minute broadcast from Rome radio, addressed ‘■our beloved brothers in Sicily whose sacred territory has had to be abandoned after the vigorous defence by Italian and ■ German troops against vastly preponderant forces and material.” He declared: “Italy has known grief like this before, but it has never weakened her fibre. No event will ever detach you Sicilians from the great motherland. Every Italian heart is with you and for you. As the head of the Government, I am taking all the necessary measures to alleviate the suffering of the Sicilian refugees in continental Italy. Do not despair. A people to whom the whole world owes thousands of years of civilisation cannot perish if it retains its faith.”
