ITALIAN EMBASSY
WASHINGTON, D. C.
The Italian Ambassador presents his compliments to
the Honorable the Acting Secretary of State and has the
honor, under instructions received from his Government,
to communicate that the Italian Premier and Foreign
Minister De Gasperi deeply deplores the manifestations,
at any rate insignificant and sporadic, occurred during
these days in Italy against Allied officers and soldiers.
Signor De Gasperi has already written in this sense
to Admiral Stone, adding however that such manifestations,
which a few days ago would have been unthinkable, must be
framed in the general atmosphere of bitterness and delusione
created by the decisions, morally unjust and politically
erroneous, adopted in Paris.
The Italian Ambassador, while joining his expressions
of deep regret, is directed to point out with honest and
thorough frankness, in order to furnish every useful
element of judgment, that the whole Italian public opinion
has the precise sensation that Italy has been sacrificed
in favor of larger interests and compromises, and that the
U.S.S.R. have defended their friends with tenacity and
success. This sensation, true or false, is unanimous and
it is not within the power of the Italian Government and
of the Italian Premier, Signor De Gasperi, though every
possible effort is being made by them to this end, to
alter it.
