SUGGESTED REPLY TO QUESTIONS IN PRESS
CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE CONCERNING
U. S. POLICY TOWARD ITALY
I am happy to have this opportunity of reaffirming U.S.
policy toward Italy as it has developed since the Armistice
under the wise leadership of President Roosevelt. On Octo-
ber 13, 1943, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill,
and Marshal Stalin took note of the Italian Government's
declaration of war on Germany and accepted the Italian nation
as a cobelligerent in the war against Germany. Our policy
toward Italy has since been based on that relationship, keep-
ing pace with Italy's democratic orientation and active par- -
ticipation in the war.
The United States is fully conscious of Italy's contri -
bution, as a cobelligerent, to the common cause. We are con-
vinced that she can similarly contribute, as she takes her
place in the community of peace-loving nations, to the main-
tenance of future peace. We shall therefore continue to do
what we can to encourage her political and economic rehabili-
tation.
