Le comte SPORZA a pris la parole hier à une réunion donnée par l'Italian-American Labour Council à New York en l'honneur de M. MATTHEWS, correspondant du "NEW YORK TIMES" à ... récemment revenu aux E.U.

L'ancien ministre italien déclare à cette occasion que rien ne pouvait être plus sensible à l'(orgueil) italien que les (défavorables) allusions de la presse des Nations Unies au manque de valeur militaire de l'armée italienne:-

"Après les échecs militaires des Britanniques, il n'appartient pas, a précisé le comte SPORZA, aux Nations Unies de critiquer le courage et la valeur militaires des soldats italiens."

Enfin, se référant au livre du colonel KERNAN, qui recommande aux Alliés de commencer l'invasion de l'Europe par un débarquement en Italie, le comte SPORZA a fait remarquer "qu'une telle suggestion ne pourrait profiter qu'à HITLER ou à MUSSOLINI."
