THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORD, N. &, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1948
Mr.
Mussolini Ousted
As Leader Of Italy
(Continued from Tage One
nounced that Badoglio was con
ferring with Allied officials about
peace terms, but according to Wash
ington and London conditions had not
yet reached this point.
, Mid-week dispatches indicated dis
order in some places within Italy, but
seemingly the Fascist government
has been completely overthrown and
the new system installed. It was re
ported by an Italian source that the
Fascist Grand Council, itself, out
voted Mussolini, foreing him to re
sign, after he had presented a plan
to withdraw his armies from southern
and middle Italy to a defense line in
the north. Hitler had proposed this
plan and Mussolini fell because lie
accepted the Nazi theory that Italy
could not be defended.
Unconfirmed reports state Badog
lio has ordered Italian troops, sta
tioned in the Balkans and in France
to return to the homeland. It is es
timated there is some twenty-two
Ialian divisions stationed in those
points.
Authoritative sources believe that
unless King Victor and Badoglio can
salvage the government and with
draw from the war, a general upris
)"! within Italy will cause a new
government to be formed which will
.sue' for peace with the Allies.
