ITALY WAITING FOR WAR ON BRITAIN ?
London, To-day.
An indication that the first Italian attack might be made in North Africa was made by Signor Ansaldo, editor of Count Ciano's
newspaper "Telegrafo" in his weekly broadcast to the troops.
After suggesting it was unlikely France would be able to offer pro- longed resistance, Ansaldo said: "Then will come the second phase in the German plan-an attack. against Eng- land.
"It is then Italy, together with Germany, will be fighting the war to liberate Europe and free the world from the tyranny of the British.
