Addressing Count Sforza (famed anti-Badoglio Liberal) as "my dear friend," Fiorello LaGuardia said: "We are at a loss here to understand the political situation in Italy. ... The policy of our Government ... is that . . . the form of permanent Government to be adopted, and the economy of the country, are to be left entirely to the decision of the people of Italy. . . .
