ALL-PARTY MINISTRY

CANNOT BE FORMED IN ITALY WHILE KING VICTOR REMAINS ON THRONE. MARSHAL BADOG LIO'S INTIMATION. I LONDON, November 2. A crisis is reported in the Badoglio Government over the appointment ol' additional representatives. Marshal Badoglio, after returning by air from Naples, conferred with all political leaders, including Count Sforza and Dr. Croce, and immediately informed King Victor Emmanuel that he was unable to form a representative Government while the King remained on the throne, says the Associated Press of Great Britain’s correspondent in southern Italy. The correspondent adds- that the opposition to the King appears to be widespread in all quarters, from the workers to those who enriched themselves under his reign. The Allied Command in southern Italy has released Ras Imru, a cousin of the Emperor of Abyssinia, whom the Italians captured in 1936, and 17 other Ethiopians. All have returned to Abyssinia. The British United Press correspondent in Naples says, that Marshal Badoglic, when asked what should be done with Hitler and Mussolini, replied that they should be put in a case and taken throughout 'Europe as sideshows. The admission money .would pay off the war debt. People would be glad to pay for the chance to jeer at them.
