Hardly any other Interpretation OF
Marshal Pietro Badoglio'S resignation
seems possible than that it is con-
fession of Italian military failure IN
Albania and East Africa. Coming
at a moment that finds MuSSollnl'S
legions in retreat along the entire
battlefront across the Adriatic, and
his African hosts held up on the
burning desert sands fringing the
Mediterranean, the world is JuStlfled
in believing that the chief OF the
Fascist general staff has been sup
planted because of the reverseS
which Italian arms have suffered at
Greek and British hands. Yesterday
saw Porto Edda, one of ItalyS main
bases in Southern Albania, in Greek
occupation, while ArgirocaStro also
was reported ready to fall to the
forces which have been steadily driv-
ing the Italians homeWard to the sea.
Marshal Badoglio, veteran of three
wars and conqueror of Ethiopia, re-
Gently commanded Fascist armies IN
East Africa, where General GRAHAM
Is stymied at Sid Barrani Italy's
most famous soldier, Badoglio was
sometimes called the italian Hin
denburg." He had completed Is
wears as chief of the general staff.
In that capacity he was in supreme
command of all three branches of
the fighting forces. Although Rome
officially advances no reason for
Badoglios resignation, mentioning
only that it was ION his own request"
events in Albania, as we'll as the
hating of the campaign against
Egypt, appear amply to reveal the
reasons which prompted the mar
shal's action.
There is no disgusting that MusSo-
linis attempts to invade and conquer
Greece, or to advance against the
Suez Canal from Libya, have proved
to be misadventures of the first mag
nitude The occupation of British
Somaliland is small compensation
for Italian failures in other theaters
of war. That the consequent loss Of
axis prestige is irritating to the
senior partner in the totalitarian
alliance cannot be doubted. AS soon
as disaster in Albania became ap-
parent, there were reports that
Hitler would send Nazi troops to
retrieve Italian fortunes. For some
undisclosed reason-possib1y reluc-
lance on the part of Mussolini to risk
impairment of his position in Italy
Der Fuehrer did not come to II Duce's
rescue.
Marshal Badoglio as young lieu
tenant witnessed Italys classic defeat
at Adowa in the 1896 Ethiopian cam
paign. He has lived to see Albania
added to a roster of names including
Caporetto and Guadalajara, upon
none of which Italians can look
without humiliation. The battle
SCARED veterans retirement will
strengthen the conviction that Italy's
military, naval and economic situa-
ton is such that her elimination
from the war can no longer be con-
sidered as an improbability. Badog-
los displacement and its underlying
cause will not popularize Mussolini's
!ll-starred campaign with his hungry
and disillusioned people.

Believes Dies Committee
Should Be Dissolved.

When the Dies Committee was
launched two years ago its object was
to gather information for legislation
effectively to combat un-American &C
Invites. That object has been more
than attained, as Representative Dick
stein has said. Further investigation
would be not merely unnecessary but
harmful. If Mr.. Dies is public spirited
he should propose to dissolve his COM
mittee and get down to the funda-
mental work of legislation.
I am not partisan and entertain a
certain admiration for Mr.. Dies and his
committee, but in this case I cannot
help feeling that President Roosevelt,
Attorney General Jackson and Mr.. Dick
stein are right and Mr.. Dies wrong.

Assails Philosophy
OF Isolati0nists.
To the Editor Of The Star:

The isolationists and the pacifists are
Americans who enjoy all the privileges
and benefits of American life, but con-
sistently give the enemies of the United
States all the breaks-in the name of
peace. At the same time they know
that they are dealing with ruthless,
tyrannical enemies who will use the ad-
vantages given them by isolationism and
pacifism for the total destruction of all
that Americans claim to hold dearer
than life itself.

that most of these sterling characters,
felt that their records of preventing
mistakes like Old Hickory made about
the bankers and in favor Of the buns,
spoke enough for them. 1t sounded
like a sort of Irish wake, where every
body has good time except the
corpse, and he doesn't care. If the
tight-fisted outfit l work for (Yes,

There were only a few Of the big
(Thats habit l have) the only one
found that had any ideas at all in
the way of interesting news was one
guy who said that the governor and
the state treasurer are going to pay
off some more state bonds pretty
soon. See what having the right kind
of officials does? OF course the mon
ey to pay off these bonds has been
accumulating from year to year IN
spite of the kind of state officers we
had before these so when the bonds
are due the jack is there too to pay
them off. But like as not if we didn't
have officials like these,I they might
Just leave the money lying around and
not pay the bonds off at all
And just because they're so up and
coming, aren't they entitled to claim
credit for paying off these bonds; not
only these but the ones that have
been paid off in the last year or two.
If they didn't pay them who in tunket
would? What if the money has been
accumulated over many years and un-
der other officials? They didn't pay
the bonds, did they?
of course these intricate questions
of finance are hard for common folks
to understand, but give praise where
praise belongs, say
My finances are intricate too.

court declared, Congress has en-
trusted the power to draw such In
ferences to the board and not to the
courts"
The west coast longshoremen's case,
involving the power of the NLRB to
certify an employer unit as the ap-
propriate bargaining agency, was de-
cided on the same grounds as the Falk
case. The question as to the damage
done by the AFL by the boards GER
tification of the CIO longshoremen as
the appropriate bargaining unit for
all west coast longshoremen was not
decided.
Justice Stone, writing the unani-
nous decision in the case, reinforced
the statements made by Black con-
cerning the power of the courts to re-
view NLRB decisions in representa-
ton cases. Stone noted that congress
sional committee reports, filed during
debate on the labor relations act, were
emphatic in their declaration that pro-
visions for court review did not ex-
tend to representation cases.
"The conclusion is unavoidable that
congress, as the result of deliberate
choice of conflicting policies, has ex-
cluded representation certifications
of the board from review by federal
appellate courts authorized by the
Wagner act in section except in the
circumstances specified in section 81"

list price of the Commander" tire,
with no used tire allowance, and with
such allowance would have been only
I14.38 percent, according to the COM
plant.
The respondent allegedly repre-
sented that all grades of its tires were
sold upon the basis of two tires for
the price of one. However, only the
Commander tire was sold under this
advertisement but not upon the basis
of two tires for the price of one but
instead two Commander tires were
sold for the price of one first-line
tire with no allowance for used tires.
Consequently the saving to the pur-
,, chaser was only 14.38 percent instead
of so percent as would appear from
respondents advertisement, after TAX
ing into consideration the usual and
customary trade-in value Of used
tires.
The respondent allegedly advertised
that all grades of it's tires were being
sold at SO percent off or a second
tire at half price, with no trade-in
allowance for used tires, when in fact
only it's Commander" tires were so
sold The complaint alleges that the
Commander" tires were not sold at
SO percent off since it was necessary
for the purchaser to buy one tire at
the full price in order to purchase
the second tire at half price, resulting
in a saving of only rs percent or, for
example, SELF on size 6.O0-16 tires.
If the usual and customary trade-in
allowance, had been granted, it would
have made the saving $3.10 on two
tires or s1.55 on each tire, or saving
OF 1864 percent, according to the COM
plant.
The respondent company allegedly
represented that all grades of its tires
were sold at 40 percent off, including
old tires, when in fact only its third
line Standard" tires were sold on
that basis and they were not actually
sold at 40 percent off because it was
necessary to buy one tire at the full
price in order to purchase the second
tire at 40 percent Off The percent
age Illus 6dfcu dllcScuiy was OhtJ
20 percent on the total purchase price
rather than 40 percent; for example,
the dollar saving on size 6.00-16 was
$4.7S on two tires rather than one.
II the customary trade-in allowance
had been granted, it would have re-
duced the actual saving to $2.39 for
two tires or $119 on each tire, ac-
cording to the complaint.
The Goodrich Silvertown Tire" al
legedly was advertised as selling at
a 25 percent discount when in fact
no such saving was effected because
no allowance was made for customary
used tire trade-in value which would
have brought the saving to only 1913
percent rather than the rs percent ad-
vertised.
Alleging violation of the Federal
Trade Commission Act, the COM
plants grants the respondents 20
days for filing answers.

Since the company is controlled by

Not To Be Blamed
No one can analyze one of these
reports without mixed feelings of sor-
row and disgust No one can justly
blame the ones who with the full sane
tion of the law and with the approba-
ton even of the victimized people
themselves, established this company
in the state out of which it has taken
from an impoverished public millions
of dollars in unearned profits. The
blame for such conditions rests
squarely upon the shoulders of the
people themselves.
1t is a common characteristic of
nearly all people to inveigh against
the corporations. Admitting that
many OF the acts and methods of
these large organizations are repre-
hensible, callous to the rights of in
dividuals and showing an utter lack
OF any feeling of social responsibility,
nevertheless the bald and accusing
fact remains that these things could
not be done year in and year out,
unless the people themselves who are
being bled and victimized, remained
apathetic.
Bear in mind that it is your fault
and mine that these conditions exist.
Surely we do not wish to negate our
rights under our democracy.
