THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1943 THE JOTISilAL, PIATTSMOtTTH, ITEBACKA PAGE THEEE EISENHOWER GRANTS IMMEDIATE ARMISTICE; BADOGLIO ORDERS DEFENSE OF SOIL AGAINST NAZI BY UNITED PRESS Italy has surrendered uncondi tionally and ordered its armed forces to resist the nazis if they should try to interfere with the surrender. The Italian collapse was announc ed today by Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower allied commander in chief of the Mediterranean, who said that he had granted Italy a military armistice on September 3rd, and that it was effective "this instant." (11:30 a. m. cwt.) At that hour Eisenhower went to a microphone of the united na tions radio station here and read his statemert to the world. Eisenhower said: "This is Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower, commander-in-chief of the allied forces. 'The Italian government has sur rendered its armed forces uncondi tionally. As allied commander-in-chief I have granted a military armistice the terms of which have been ap proved Ly the government of the 1'nited Kingdom, the United States and tlu- Union of Soviet Socialist Republic?. "Thus I am acting in the interest of the united nations. The Italian government has bound itself to abide Ly these terms without reservation. "The armistice was signed by my representative and the representa tive of Marshal Badoglio and it become effective this instant. . ' , . , , ! fnrcpci nf thp nnifpf nations and those I ot Italy terminate at once. All T 1 n 1 i :i ii - ii-hr nnn nrt tn hpln o i pf t the German aggressors from Italian soil will have the assistance and rupport of the united nations." Thus, five days after the allies invaded Italy proper, the nation of ficially v.as out of the war. A special announcement issued from allied headquarters explained the developments leading up to the capitulation of Italy as follows: "Some weeks ago the Italian gov ernment made an approach to the British &nd American governments with a view to concluding an armis tice. A meeting was arranged and. took place in neutral territory. "It was at once explained to the representatives of the Italian govern ment that they must surrender un conditionally. On this understanding representatives of. the allied commander-in-chief were empowered to communicate to them the military conditions which they would have to fulfill. "One clause in these military terms binds the Italian government to comply with political, economic and financial conditions of the allies which will be imposed later. "Further meetings were arranged and took place in Sicily. The armis tice was signed at allied advanced headquarters there on Sept. 3rd, but it was agreed with the representa tives of the Italian government that the armistice should come into force at a moment most favorable to the allies and be simultaneously ennounced by both sides. "That moment has now arrived." Badoglio's proclamation as the head of the Italian government recognized the impossibility of con tinuing the "unequal struggle pgainst the overwhelming power" and said the armistice was requested to avoid "further and more grevious harm to the country. Under the terms of the armistice, Badoglio pledged Italy to "oppose attacks from any other quarter" which meant she would war against Germany if the nazis attcak Italian soil. Negotiated secretly without Hit ler's knowledge, according to offi cial reports, the armistice represent ed the mcst severe blow the Germans had suffered and meant that the original axis was no more.
