one another in the streets, as the American and English radio stations gave   
ample resumes.  Our only great hope lies in you, dear American friends, and  
in the ever increasing aid, more and more efective, which you are giving to  
the admirable British who are defending civilization and who, with God's   
assistance, will save it, but we must not hide the fact that we have many  
dangerous and difficult months ahead.  Should Germany fail to overcome   
British resistance by the end of this summer we shall be delivered and victory  
will be on our side.  But as Germany knows as well as we do that it has no   
more than six months to win it is certain that it will make a superhuman  
effort to reach a decision before summer.  It will depend almost entirely on  
the United States, on its material aid, on its political attitude, that this  
dangerous passage be overcome and that the United States will go to the limit  
the more our moral resistance will develop, the more will events evolve in   
the right direction.  I believe, furthermore, that England should deliver a  
mortal blow to Italy as soon as possible, to eliminate it from the struggle  
thus injecting disorder in the axis system and in the German plans.  It is on  
the way to doing this magnificently in Lybia, but I am covinced that as long  
as the Italian population itself does not suffer severe air bombardments  
            serious trouble will not take place
