sisted upon by Hitler about 4 year
ago, and put into effect to butter up
the cogs of the axis, have never been
popular in Italy, which is basically
an urbane and civilized Latin coun-
try. The laws have not been re-
pealed. There has been no open rup-
ture with the axis on this or any
other point. But their enforcement
is, to put it mildly, in allegiance.
When the Russo German alliance
was first announced, the Italian gov
ernment put the best possible face
on 1t to its own people, and yet the
shock went deep. Fascism was sold
to the pious Italian people as the
best possible defense against bol-
shevism. The axis alliance with the
Germans-against whom the Ital-
ians have traditionally fought in all
their wars, including the last, and
whom they deeply dislike-was sold
on the argument that national So
cialism, being crude imitation Of
fascism. was also bulwark against
bolshevism.
Spanish Intervention Costly.
Don't forget also that Italy's in
tervention in the Spanish war cost
its taxpayers millions of lire and it's
common people thousands of lives.
They we're separated from both on
the plea that support of Gen. Franco
by the axis was part of fascism's
holy war against the Reds.

OF course, the man at the top is
responsible for every important de-
cision italy has made. But in a die
tatorship as in a democracy the
people prefer to hold him in rev.

unpopular they are satisfied with
the scalp Of an underling-they like
to believe that all will be well once

Alfieri or Cohn has been chopped

those graves in Spain-Germany al
lies herself with Stain and Musso-

dom Of this agreement.
So again now-this country being
a dictatorship-it Is plastered with
notices reading, "Mussolini q SEM

translated, means, 'Mr. Big can do
no wrong" And this may be so,
only If it were a democratic country
with freedom OF criticism, and If 1t

thrown the nations resources away
in Spain for nothing and that the
axis policy. eliminating In Hitler's
present adventure, has been a COM
plete and expensive bust for Italy.
This is not Q democracy and so
none of this was hollered from the
housetops, but the general context
of it was whispered behind a good

in the foreign colony, news of this
disaf1ection was first given to Mus

happen.

years under fascism and are crude

don't know yet what the ordinary
German thinks of the Russo-Ger-

the ordinary Italian thinks of it by
the following joke which is running
around the better coffee houses.
Bearing in mind the fact that the
Nazis rose to power by denouncing
"JeW-bolshevism," the Italians are
saying, Nov that Signor Hitler has
allied Germany with the Soviets,
perhaps he will give Europe peace
by marrying and settling down to
quiet domestic life with some nice
girl from a good Jewish family"

would be q mistake to assume that
the new cabinet is anti-axis or pro-
British and French. It is only pro-
Italian, and while it is disposed to
make no further sacrifices for the
axis, 1t Is perfectly capable OF re-
viv.ng this policy should a change
in the military situation make It
seem worth while.
And this has completely satisfied
the people of Italy. Mussolini's popu-
larity is back up to where 1t was
before the Russo-German alliance.

Despite Cruel Methods,

ATLANTA, July ga Philadel-
phia minister told the Baptist
World Alliance today its church
work persisted in Russia, despite
information that many tBaptlst
workers have been done away with,
some in the most cruel wav"
Asserting mail censorship made 1t
difficult to CLEAN facts on the Rus
sian situation, the Rev. I. v. Neprash
said he had information also that
all men, and some women, workers
with wider influence, are either in
prison or exile"
The Rev. Mr. Neprash, represen-
tative of the All-Russia Union OF
the denomination. reported further
that practically all Baptist church
buildings have been confiscated
services strictly forbidden
and attendants severely punished
and yet the Lords work goes
on"
He addressed a general session OF
the sixth Baptist World Congress-
which will consider numerous reso-
lutions tomorrow and adjourn Fri
day
Another Philadelphian, DR.. Will
liam A. Mueller of the Eastern
Theological Seminary, told messen-
gers (delegates) that from Ameri-
can shores it seemed 'the Baptists
of Germany are too easily adapting
themselves to the prevailing spirit.
Thus far" he continued, I'VE
have not heard a clear word from
our BaRist brethren in Germany
concerning the racial issue that is
such a burning issue in your land
as we'll as ours"
In departure from the pro-
erammed sessions, the congress to-
day arranged an old-time revival
meeting on a busy street corner OF
the business district, to bring a noon
gospel message to workers unable to
attend other meetings.
Prof. Gordon B. Hancock OF
Richmond Va. told messengers in
an English-speaking group meeting
that the church which lacks the
courage to face the color challenge"
could not be trusted with "Weightler
questions of human destiny
He declared color consciousness
CONSTITUTES one of the major prob
lens of the age" adding that "un-
less Christianity works Immediately
across racial and national lines 1t will
not work ultimately within these"

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15-Steel-
master Tom Girdler and Economist
Leonard Porter Ayres took a look
at business today and expressed
doubt whether it would continue to
revive.
Our problems are with us to-
day. just as they were last Au-
gust Mr.. Girdler said. 'The war
in Europe has brought no perma-
nent solution"
Financial barometers are record
ing their skepticism about the fu-
ture prospects of this business re-
vival," Mr.. Ayres asserted. There
is real doubt about the possibilities
of keeping it going"
Mr.. Girdler, chairman of Re-
public Steel Corp, made his OBJ
servations in an addres to Ohio
steel executives. Mr.. Ayres wrote
his views in the Monthly Bulletin
of Cleveland Trust Co.
I'VE are told that a truce has been
declared in the warfare upon busi-
ness; that politics and business
batting have been adjourned" said
Mr.. Girdler II sincerely hope that
is true. But the story has familiar
ring. my friends, and as much as
would like to believe it, I am pa
tiently waiting for some concrete
evidence"
Mr.. Ayres listed genuinely big
war orders, increased large-scale
pump printing" and new capital
issues as the only three apparent
sources of power than can keep re-
vival going
Financial indicators are too sig
nificant to be safely disregarded," he
added.
Mr.. Girdler asserted the Wagner
Act has done more to disturb In.
dustrial relations that any other

ton" statement that Republic
Steel would have to pay $7,5OO, 900
