"We have made great progress”, a defense official said. “And our present’ armed forces, although comparatively small, are far better armed and trained than Mussolini’s armies ever were.” Statistics made public on the eve of parliamentary debate on the defense\ budget failed to give the actual numbers of men and planes, but indicated that Italy’s armed forces are well above the limit set by the repudiated military clauses of the Italian peace treaty. \ - The Statistics The treaty, whose military clauses Italy denounced on Dec. 8, 1951 with the encouragement of the western powers, established an over-all ceiling of 300,000 men, of which 250,000 were to be restricted to ground forces. The navy was limited to 25,(100 men and the air force to 25,000 men, 200 pursuit planes, 150 transports arid no bombers. The statistics made public listed the following forces: Army — ten infantry divisions, three Alpine brigades and two armored brigades, in addition to bat-talion-size units of fusiliers, antiaircraft artillery, engineers, etc. Two more Alpine brigades and one armdyed brigade are being organized. Six Fighter Wings Navy—two warships, both in the mothball fleet, three cruisers, six destroyer escorts, 12 torpedo boat escorts. 23 corvettes, 54 minewweepero, 50 coastal -pataelUioa**, Six gunboats, 29 high seas and 53 coastal auxiliary ships, 81 auxiliary ships for local use and tw*o submarines.
