Italians Deny Proposals

Rome, Mar. 19.

Italian officials today flatly denied reports of an alleged eleven-point peace proposal put forward by Herr Hitler during his talks with Signor Mussolini at Brenner Pass yesterday.

Sig. Virgino Gayda, editor of "Giornale d'Italia" also said it was absurb and preposterous to place Il Duce in the position of official peace emissary in the current war. He added that no Government has yet made any peace proposals and indicated that the war promises to be long and arduous.—United Press. also have been one of the topics brought up by the Fuehrer. Indeed, Berlin and Moscow are now holding Finland's example before the eyes of Rumania, Greece, and even Turkey, trying to convince these states that the Finns were the victims of guarantees given them by Britain and France.—Havas.
