With regard to the British claims of the damage done at Taranto, he said: "One of the ships is seriously damaged and will be repaired only after a long time. The other two will be repaired quickly."

He declared: "We will break the backbone of Greece. Whether it takes two or twelve months is unimportant. The war has

just started.

"The identity of Italy's views with Germany as far as the present and future is concerned, is perfect. This also applies to the tripartite pact.

Cannon And Iron

"Every time I and the Fuehrer meet, it consecrates the harmony and friendship in all fields, Pacifism is out of date. This is an era of cannon and iron."

Mussolini went on: "Peace could have been saved If Britain had not rejected all peace attempts.

He sald,

"Mussolini, with a few words, established the truth of the present facts. Very soon, the world will learn that the Italian armed force which are intact and efficient, have begun a new and important phase in their offensive."

Purpose Of Speech

They said that Spanish and possibly Italian aspirations may collide with General Weygand's reported vigorous opposition to an surrender of French Moroc- co to Spain or the Axis,

Il Duce found it necessary to ex- plain away one after another the many difficulties which he ond his armed forces have encountered, more particularly since Italy dragged Greece into war. He obviously found It far from easy to do this and at the same time to preserve the impression that Italy is riding on the crest of a

It is to be noted that Mussolini openly admits a "certain slackening" in the activities of the Fascist Party since he brought Italy Into war and he made u bld for intensification and continuance of the Party effort.
