Hitler has been “ promised’) as many Italians as he needs” for Tabor in Germany or for duty| with the armed services, Italian! Rewspapers declared today in re- leasing more details of the five- day conference between Hitler and Mussolini on the Russian war front, Safeguards against a British or American invasion of Europe and the pressing need for more oil were the chief subjects of conversation in the long parley | which ended yesterday, the pa- Pers revealed in an unexpected. | ly frank statement. Virginio Gayda, semi-official. *\ Italian’ spokesman, said the Axis once in order to continue what he admited will be a long war. He said there is no shortage of food in the two Axis partners.

Tokyo newspapers echoed the Axis declaration with the com- ment that American-Japanese relations, too, received the at- tention of the dictators. Both Italian and German hewspapers warned of the in-! evitability of a united front in Europe which they hinted will include Portugal, Turkey and the other remaining neutrals. England, they declared, will} be bdrred forever from Europe if she continues her present course. | At the same time, Gayda. at- tacked United States participa- tion in the war and declared that the. two leaders discussed means of combating the, American aid through Vladivostock, “which keeps Communism — artificially alive”.
