I! R088 MUNRO Canadian Press War Correspondgnf, SOMEWHERE IN SICILY, July 26—(Delayed)—(CP Cable) 1n this frontline town, poverty- stricken Italian citizens in the battlerscarrad main street received the news of Mussolinis resignation as Italian leader with shouts of “bravo. bravo.”

Their exultation ran wild in a riot of joy.

They grabbed the hands of my- self and a Canadian soldier, sha - in! them like triphammers. patted us on the back and cried out in a flood of Italian “down with Muss- olini. death to the Duce."

The citizens milled around the main street, with the hulk oi a des- troyed German tank still at one corner, gesticulating wildly, lau h- ing and shouting. It was one of he most unexpected, spontaneous scenes I have ever witnessed.

Ear in the morning Canadian war corres ondents heard the news over the BC and headed for the town. I found Sigmn, Frank Sisco of Cochrane. Ont., who speaks Italian fluently. He came along as an interpreter to find out what the local Italians thought of the momentous a ounccment.

With Slsco, I stopped on the main street, which had been the centre of bloody fighting for the town a short time before as the Canadians assaulted the place.

Bravo, Bravo

We walked up to a group of Ital- ian civilians and Sisco asked them if ‘they had heard the news. They

Then he told thcm of Mussolinfs resignation. The group of twenty crowded around us, shouted to- gether ("brave, bravo," and clap- Ded their hands.

A couple of youths said "Grnzzla, Graaziej’ (thank vou. thank you).

This reception took me by surprise. I had seen civilians in ever town we had occupied in Sicly give the troops the "V" sign in the march from tho coast and sometimes cheer the invaders. But this was soma- thlng I hoped I might see some day but never really expected -a group of people in a Fascist country expressing whole- hcarted relief at the collapse of their dictate and the chance they see ahead for freedom.

A formal warning to Italy that she will be "seared and scarred and blackened unless she breaks utterly with her Nazi overlords ha; been sounded by Prime Minister Churchi l.

In effect, Mr. Churchill outlined to Italy the only terms on which an armistice would be granted. They represented by implication some modification of the “unconditional surrender" pattern mapped for the foo at Casablanca. They also confirm first impressions that the Wash-

J ingion and London authorities are prepared to deal with the still nebu-

lous situation in Italy now only on s strictly military basis.

The Allies will make no political deals with a tottering foe. They deem continued Italian resistance futile in any event. They are prepared to take by force what they need to press the war vigorously on the prime enemy. Nazi Germany.

That clearly indicates Allied willingness to accept capltulaticn from the Barlogllo Government or any other government with authority to s eak and the power to maintain orderly processes in such ltallurfter- r tory as is not needed by the Allies to press the attack on Germany It contemplates no general disarmament. of Italian forces. no Allied pol cing of all Italy; but only surrender of "all the indispensable requirement we demand for carrying on the war against cur prime and capital foe, w ich is not Italy, but Germany."

Mr. Churchill naturally did not specify the "indispensable require- ments” demanded of Italy, other than dlvorcement of the Axis and Ger- many. To have don so would have furnished Berlin with valuable rnil- itary information as to where and when the next Allied blows from the south would .

United Nations Will Demand Italian Bases

WASHINGTON, July 27—(AP)— Navy Secretary Frank Knox hinted todny that the onrusiung Allies might demand strategic bases on the Italian PCIIlIISUIJ mainland for air and sea attacks on Ger- many, as part of any price of peace.

In response to questions at his press conference. Knox said Italy possessed strategic positions useful to the Allies for "Certain purposcs.‘ He said bases set up on the Pen- insula would be extremely useful for an advance across the Adriatic sea and air attacks on southern

Germany.

While disclaiming any “exclusive information" On the situation Knox said "the appearance of things indicates probably some at- tempt at taking Italy out of the war," and expressed the opinion that “it will come in the reason- ably near future."

In response to a question, he said he meant an attempt by King Vic- tor Emmanuel and Marsnal Bad- oglio, successor to Mussolini. Meantime the United States of- fice of war information went one step further in clarification of the official attitude of the United States toward the new Italian Re- gime, with the declaration that it s regarded as an enemy, the same as the Mussolini government. "This Italian government,’ an 0. W.l. official sad "composed as it is mostly of people formerly as- sociated with Fascism, declared as one of its first acts allegiance to Hitler and the Axis, and therefore is an enemy nf the United Nations, and the war will go on to uncon- ditional surrender."
