France and Italy Seek Separate Armistice Terms
Rome June 23 The same French emissaries who faced Hitler’s dictated peace today received Italy’s terms for a separate armistice. Fas cists boasted the world may witness the crumbling of a powerful empire within 24 hours as negotiations near a cease fire. The French envoys headed by General Huntziger arrived in Rome and met at Villa Mazioni with Italian officials to discuss a Franco Italian armistice amid hopes of a quick end to hostilities. The accord, likely followed by a formal peace treaty, would recognize Mussolini’s territorial aims and pave the way for Monday’s approval and signing.
