W servers who have visited
Italy recently for an uncensored
count of the pulse of public opin-
ion have one by one agreed, some
Of them reluctantly, that there re-
mains an amazing solidarity in
support of Mussolini and his invas-
ion of Ethiopia.
Actually, they admit, when an
italian in the street says that to
die for Italia is to find true living,
he seems to mean it. The old
worry about government agents
disguised as lamp-posts or water
ing troughs doesn't appear to
enter in.
And when 100000 Romans con-
verge on Venice palace to hear
MuSsolini, they seem to do it be-
cause they want to. Their applause
sounds authentic.

neWspapermen every day. And
sometimes, when things are hot,
he sees them twice day.
He always stands up throughout
the conference. The. reporters
stand up too, grouped around the
table. At Hull'S right stands Mich
ael McDermott, white haired vet
eran press chief of the State De-
partment.
Hull frequently hands a report
of some kind to McDermott, and
says to the reporters, MIR. Nc
Bride will give you this after the
conference" Hull's assistant is
named Mcbride, and he is always
getting him confused with Nc
Dermott.
Hull gives no indication of
knowing any of the reporters per-
sonally, and yet he does know
them all, and occasionally makes
some remark when they come back
from vacations.

at Imperialism; Man in Street Sold on Duce

THE answer again is habit.
l. Thirteen years of hearing
nothing but Mussolini, 3 years of
reading of nothing but glorious
future under Fascism is a mighty
weight.
The eloquent minorities of the
early years were steam-rolled more
or less quietly, and after a while,
in the heat of world resentment
against Hitler, the bitterness of
Mussolinis fight for complete con-
troll was forgotten.
Foreign tourists in Italy today
seem to admire rather than hate
Mussolini.
Hes strong man." they say,
land just see what he's done for
Italy"
The years passed and Italy grew
more serene. She found herself
growing to dignity and power.
Roads were built, cities modern
lied, standards of living improved.
Mussolini's appeal was not ali
emotional.
Through it all there remained
that propaganda. by press and
radio and by the power of II Duce's
personality. In Is years Fascism,
dictatorship, Mussolini all became
second nature TO Italians. These
last years it has been easy, even
for those who decade ago might
have stood by their anti-Fascist
principles, to fall in with the hay
foot-straw-foot of the advancing
Italy.

THROUGH some of the State

little annoyed now and then with
Hull's diplomatic generalities,
nearly all of them like him and
consider him a good Secretary of
State. And even though vague,
they consider him honest with
newspaper men, which is more
than they could say for some of
his predecessors.
They say one thing about him,
that he never refuses to say
something in reply to a question,
as many Cabinet officers do. He
may not give you the answer, but
he talks in reply just the same.
1t is only occasionally that a re-
porter gets tough" and shoots
insistent questions at Hull. And
then the secretary seems to enjoy
it. He is, of course, a veteran of

means that the young men who do

physical prime, have grown up
under him. Most of their school
ing they received under the banner
of Fascism.
They were children when the
new spirit of Italia was born. The
only government they know is
Mussolini and, as he tells them
continually, theirs will be the hon.

her place in the sun.
Hearing nothing else, it is easy
for them to believe this without
question.
Then, there is the middle-aged
group, the men who fought in the
World War and lived to know the
degradation of Italy in the chaotic
years that followed. II Duce ap-
pears to them as a savior of their
national self-respect and, since
the beginning of the war fever,
the originator Of an apparent

That this prosperity is doomed
to collapse when the boom is over
doesn't seem to be considered.
But how, foreigners ask, can one
man make an entire nation believe
that things which have been
proved false elsewhere can be true,
that war is good for humanity,
that manhood is enriched by fight
ing, that swollen prosperity can
linger?

America followed with a de-
valued dollar, and the temporary
heady effects were like a glass of
wine on an empty stomach.
But this phase has also reached
its end. Thes next step is the
movement of navies, and the
building of new ones. We are in
the midst of this now.
Coupled with it is the jockey
ing for position, the job of max
ing friends and lining up those
who will be the most useful to us.
The stage then becomes set-and
a spark is all that is needed to
blow the whole caboodle sky high.
The spark is always what the

fellow powers, but they were not
willing to discuss boundaries. Ual-
Ual is some 10 to 80 miles inside
the Ethiopian frontier from Ital-

frontier patrols were on the wrong
side of the fence.
But the Ethiopian frontier line
has been famous for it's haziness
in certain European chancellories.

around Ual-Ual might have
proven embarrassing to II Duce-

Cordell Hull, into the big ante.
room, with its fireplace and paint
ings of former secretaries.
He walks about five PAGES over
to a big table in the center of
the room. He stops behind a
great high-backed chair at the
end of the table, takes off his
glasses and hooks them over the
thumb of his right hand, then
crosses his arms over the top of
the chair back, and starts talking.
He does it exactly this way every
day.
At present he talks mostly about
the war situation in Africa. The
average American wouldn't get
very much out of what he is say
ing, for he talks in the devious,
padded language of the interna-
tional diplomat, in which you
never, under any circumstances,
call a spade a spade.
Fortunate for the public, he
talks to about 80 newspapermen
who know how to interpret what
Hull says. or just as often what
he doesn't say, into reading mat
ter that can be understood.
