Rome, Aug. 17.
Italy will demand full reparations from Greece for the assassination of Daut Hoggia, Albanian irredentist, according to authoritative circles here last night.
It was not revealed what measures by the Greek Government Italy would regard as satisfactory, but it was added that they must include "justice and full reparations for wrongs inflicted on Albanians in irredentist regions."
Italo-Greek tension showed no signs of lessening last night. According to authoritative circles, the situation originating in the death of Hoggia is wholly responsible for the present strained Italo-Greek relations This was confirmed to the United Press by well informed Greek circle: in Rome, who stated that up to the date of first published reports of Hoggia's death, Italo-Greek relations were very cordial.
Details of the expected Italian demand for reparations were presumed here to be in the course of presentation in Athens. The emphasis with which they were being presented could be gathered from the remark of Sig. Virginia Gayda, the spokes man for Premier Benito Mussolini, it yesterday's "Giornale d'Italia" that "Italy does not compromise."
Tt was recalled that Sig. Gayda, two days ago, stated that Albanians in the irredentist regions "do not want and never wanted to be Greek." He saic also that Albanians comprise a majority in the Greek province of Epirus—United Press.
