THE BLAME FOR ITALIAN
DEFEAT.

Some things about the crushing
Italian defeat are not yet satisfae-
torily explained. Il is declared that
the Austro-Germans on the wide front
OF their big drive Outnumhered the
defenders four TO one. But Italy has
always been represented as having
more men than she could use on her
Austrian front Why. then, were her
forces SO fatally outnumbered? Is
Italy really short OF troops? Or was
there inexcusahle failure 10 observe
what the enemy was about and make
preparation for it?
It is said, too, that the men defend
ing the sector where the drive began
were inferior troops men for the most
part past 10, lacking in physical sta
nina and in training. That raises
similar questions. Were such troops
there because Italy had no others?
Or. ii better troops were available,
why were inferior forces placed on so
important front?
When all is said, however, it is evil
dent that whatever blame may at.
'ach TO tho Italian command or the
Italian government. the allies are no
less hlameworthy. For several
months Italy has been pleading for
things she imperatively needs-coal.
iron, big guns and shells She had
hardly any OF the powerful guns with
which the Austro-German started
their drive. and hardly any ammuni
tiollfor the guns she had. The coun,
try is almost totally devoid OF coal
and iron. With these basic requiS.
ties, Italy could make her own guns
and shells. Without them. she il de-
pendent on England, France and
America.
1t is no such task to get munitions
to Italy as to get them 10 Russia
There is a short, fairly direct route
thru southern France.
Britain and France have given Italy
little aid because they left the i'm
portance Of their own campaigns. and
failed to appreciate the gravity of hel
danger. The United States has given
little aid because we have been SC
occupied with our own war prepare
tons. But all three could have done
more.
THE allies, to save Italy, will have
to get guns ammunition coal iron
and food to her as quickly as possible
Otherwise Italy will follow The fate
OF Poland and Belgium. "

While the law vests no power in
the administration to fix retail prices,
he will WELD absolute power over the
retailer by controlling his source of
supplies. Inspectors will be kept at
work in all parts of the country in
the campaign to detect dealers who
charge excessive prices. Every deal
er caught in the practice of charg.

off from further supplies.
Assisted by corps of legal experts.
