Wesley Jones, Chief of the Italian 3eetion of the Depart- ment of State, and have learned from them that subsequent to the signing of the armistice an agreement was made be- tween General Eisenhower and Marshal Badoglio that messages woulc be oent by Baloglio to Italian diplomatic missions instrueting them to "cooperate fully" with the Anglo- Americans. 3. Actual nopies of the instruotions sent were shown to me oy M. .Iones, and I was informed that these instructions have now been received by tho Italian diplomatic representatives in Madrid. Lisbon, Stockholm, Bern, Ankara and Buenos Aires. It is hoped that similar instructions will in tho near fu - Vire be sent to Kabul, Dublin and Helsinki, in Whieh places the Italian Ministers have declared for the Badeglio govern- ment. 4. It ws stated by Mr. Jones chat it would be in order for the OSS to advise their representatives in the above-mentioned cities of the situation, and instruct them to contact the American diplomatic representative before approaehing the Italian missions. Os Authority ha n not yet boon received for the use of the Italian records and possessions in this country now under the control of the ?xis? Legation.

One day the fighting will stop and the gigantic task of the reconstruction of Europe will have to start. The United States have clearly indicated a desire to participate in the rehabilitation of the European continent. Italy is one of the countries that the American people will certainly try to help in their spiritual economic and financial recontruction. Not only that but both countries - the United States and Italy - are longing to restore to its fullness their historic traditional friendship erasing as quickly as possible the tragic interlude of the war. That day may not be very far. It is time to start getting ready for it. There are things that happen only too suddenly. Being ready now and having at least some clear outlines of what could and should be done along the lines of the rLstoration of the old ties of friendship bet- ween Itliy and the United States is essential if mistakes and delays are to be avoided at a time when mistakes and delays The period of readjustment through which Italy is bound to go for a number of years especially in the field of its - ?

The business of liquidatik: a warleven a victorious one, is always a difficult and complicated one. Infinetely more difficult and complicated will be the business of closing a chapter as painful and tragic as the present war has been for Italy. America wants to help in this gigantic task. It is to the Interest of the United States to assist the Italian people during the period of its readjustment. It is to the interest of the Italian people to regain the American friendship. The vision of the future yet to come opens immense pemspectives. Yet a very few people know exactly what can be done and how it ? . There is - as yet - no comprehensive balance sheet of the relations between the two countries. Lots of people talk about them but nobody knows what they really were before the war started and bobody has until now explored all the potentialities of an italo american cooperation in the post- war scheme of things.

Not many realize that behind the ruins and the headline names there are in Italy many other things, some of them good, some of them bad, some of them indifferent, but all of them worth while knowing if one has to deal at all with the Italian people. A more complete knowledge of Italy ought to be, therefore, at the basis of any long range policy affecting the Italian piaople. Such a knowledge would clarify and simplify quite a number of problems that seem and have seemed all along in- credibly bailing to all those who had to deal with modern Italy.

The inevitable task of a gigantic and complex reori- entation of the whole italian life may be made much easier through the spreading among all strata of Italians of the feeling that America, their old traditional friend ib still with them.

The center should start gathering the vast material of in- formation on Italy available now in the United States, and elaborating it in public monographs or private memoranda for official use, as soon as possible so that it could be of some hiflp to all those who are interested in Italy and the inevitable resumption of relations first and friendship afterwards between I. fr. ?4.

Millions of Orlandos in Italy -- a country whose social structure has beet and is familial and humane rather than national and abstract -- depend 03 direct, personal, "paternalmleadership. They get it frOm the Fascists. By default! Beoauee the "men of good will" didn't fight to win and hold leadership when they had the chance. Now those who didn't have the guts for "war in the piazza" go patriotically to death in their enemy, "MUssoliWo war". Orlando doesn't much care who wins the Germans or the British; the Iealians, he knows, have already lost. He's interested only in "when will it end?" He wants to be able to feel it will really, be an end for his time. Orlando's ourrent attitude toward the British war machine is contempt -- "they failed to cone through." He hates the Germans, but his fear and respect of their mlletary maohine steadily increases. However, he has watched the "sample"' construction of Germany '0 "new order" in the wake of the army; he recognizes that what waa e "universal". idea in early Faso tot polity has become in latter- day Nazism merely fanatically narrow "Germanise bloodily superimposed on ?thee peoples.

Propaganda has failed tcb impair Lis admiration for the American people, his faith in their essential humaneness aed aloofness from the old world's petty bickeringe. Orlando ean't understand. English or French, he doesn't dare listen to Italian languapp broadcasts from England. Yet he -- and literally millions like him -- are way-stations on elaborate "grapevines" whioh do regularly and constantly, get the news from London. (American stations are almost entirely "blocked out" by "Jamming".) As another winter has started with more suffering than was expected as the end seems farther end farther away -- the Italians react first as ordi- nary human beings accustomed to hardship but passionately eager for the simple comforts of normal life, hating pain, treasuring life as a good, an end it it Then they react as patriotic Italians who fear for their homeland. Later, much later, they react as Fascist, .or anti-Fascists, as Democrats. Finally as friends of freedom, justice, morality, which to most of them are remote, abstract formulae. Intensely intelligent, Italians react favorably to Anglo-Saxon broad- casts because they recognize their foundation in objective fact, in truth. But their reactions are essentially passive. Broadcasts from London deliver body blows to theil. conception of the war as truly national and to their con- sequent patriotic willingness to "see it through" at any cost. Still they dread what the Germans might do to them and to Italy too much to dare to react openly, materially. So broadcasts directed to Italy are ineffective if they merely emphaeize Italian sufferings, point out abeence of suffering in the Antilo-Saxon world. To have any effect, such broadcasts must be specifically and unmistakeably American; they must be transmitted from such places And in such manner as to make them really audible. In material, they must contain trustworthy information which will make the Italians recognize Anglo-Saxon power as actually, materially, more fearsome than the German variety! And, In this contexture, power is specifically military. Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/25: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100450 - 217,4M=f A'.11;eseig ?

If the British dared destroy by bombe some "historic monument", in Flerence; Venice, or even in Rome, Italy and. all of conquered Europe wo4ld 'inally under- stand that the British have seen the hand-writing on the wall -- the iyar to be won, must be fought "seriously". War, real war, must be brought home, literally, to the Italians as well as to the Germans. Caught between fear of the Germans and greater fear of the Angio-Saion world, the talians will begin to at ? against the Germans. In that action, leadership can not come from the bankrupt compromised men of the old order. For example, in the Royal family, the only individual likely to have a following is the Duke of Aosta, who really fought. Any rebel- lion agalnet Germany will have to be led by yeunger army officers, anti-Fascists, luke-warn, Faec tete, or "honest" Fascists. England, except as the agency which by military action precipitates the revolt, cannot and shld not figure. America should -- but not merely as "friend. Df freedom". Rather, as a free peopll who cannot practically, materi- ally, selfishly, continue to exist freely, or even as a people unless it helps other peoples to emancipate themselves in their own ways from the one great enemy -- the conquest-hungry Ger= military machine, opening nation after nation to t ie locus te of the new German order which can destroy everything useful and vuce even more efficiently than the German army can fight. 044 , - 24%,114- 112.225. la " k Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/25 : CIA-RDP13X00001R000100450007-8 r-VAT-11;%.?14.4.01a!:7',:44q Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/25 : CIA-RDP13X00001R000100450007-8 1-;; -T.47b4,*r!FL-xa.--41410.W'--rqi3p4 0.1:1 mwo.gtionlietasktAwaimitaw.ONENIMPIMMOMMBIONSIONV Sopt. 16, 141.
