WHAT OF THE POPE
IN ITALY NOW?

What of Pope Plus. now that Italy has
Joined his arch foe At war?
What of several million Italians to
whom the voice of the Pope is the voice
of God spoken through AN earthly We
hicle?
Will Italy forget It's deep-Seated rellE-
ions training to fight with stern Will be-
side the armies of the man who has been
described by the Catholic ruler as the
foremost enemy of c.NllZatlon.
Only time will answer these questions
but they are questions Benlto MuSSo-
lini must reckon with. He mas taken d
step which may decide whether the ltal-
ians-perhaps the most eXcitaole, emo
tional race in the world-will answer the
command of their temporal or their Splr-
final ruler when the command from one
contradcts the command of another.
Should the axis powers lose this war
Mussolini will be through in ltaly-or
anywhere else He, more than hitler
is gambling the entire fate of his gov
eminent on the outcome. For his people,
more than the German people. Will feel
in the event of defeat that Mussolni has
been a traitor to his race Their bitter
ness cannot help but be volcanic. if Mus
Solini has guessed wrong.
A long war. too, might prove diSaS-
trous for Mussolini. 1t would give his
emotional subjects time to think. Then
national character cannot sustain Il del
mite setback without reacting against
the person in their own midst who is re-
sponsible for the setback. Nor can the
temperament Of the Italians sustain
long period of stress in which flag way
ing and trumpet blaring has given way to
roaring bombers and bursting shells.
Strangest bedfelloWs Of the war are
the Unconditional Germans and the emo
tional Italians Whether they can fight
side by side for the same obiectveS. un-
der an integrated command, remains To
be seen.
If they cannot. Italian intervention
may react to the benefit Of the Allies.
If they can. then darker days are ahead
for the democracies of Europe. and per-
haps of the world.

LET'S NOT REPEAT
The FATAL MISTAKE

One of the things that will send the
United States into Europe's war quicker
than anything else is the continuing pub
lie expression of the belief that I'VE
cant stay out.
Next time somebody tells you that, ask:
why not?'
Six months ago most of the people in
the United States were convinced not
only that we could stay out, but that we
should. As far as this country is con-
cerned. the situation hasn't changed
much. We're in no more danger now
than we We're six months ago. Or, to put
it another Wy. we were in Just as much
danger six months ago as we are now.
But that doesn't mean we've got to
send men to Europe to fight 1t means
only that we should-and must-prepare
to defend this hemisphere against any
results of the European war. We want
democracy to survive in the United
States. and to that END we must see that
totaitarianism does not gain foothold
III this hemisphere.
As to declaring war on anybody right
nowhere not ready, we won't be ready
for more than year, and if we were
ready there would be no more sense to
such declaration now than there was
six months ago.
Let's not repeat the fatal mistake Of
20 wears ago.

most virulent signs of NaZi organi-
cations all over South and Central
America which are already inter-
ferlng with the domestic life of
the countries IN which they appear
Entry of italy into the war Of
course adds powerful Italian groups
TO these sources of trouble, and
become extremely active.
At any time groups like these
may begin making demands on
the governments to the south for
special concessions and privileges
which no government can properly
grant They may even foment do
mesuc strife. Then those govern
mentS are faced with one of two
alternatives: knuckle in, or fight
back.
In the first case, they risk be-
coming RumaniaS and HungarieS.
In the second they may become
Polands or SPANS. If deserted by
their neighboring countries they
may become Czechoslovakias.
The time has come to make it
quite clear that the inter American
declarations and understandings

to win out. since he is supposed to
be closer to the administration

The wretched record of the last ten
years is spotted with the words, TOO
late. Too late came understanding of
Germans postwar plight and efforts to
ease the strain on the Weimar Republic
Too late at every step have been the de-
mocracies' measures to deal with Nazi-

GUM and the erlcnds-all along the
line the forces fighting aggression have
been behind.
Is America going to continue the pro-
cess? Already it is beginning to pay for
failure to support world stability by cas-
ing economic strains and promoting col
lective security. Aggression which
might have been prevented or curbed
by small measures taken early now
forces gigantic measures and terrific
costs. And for the United States the
costs have only begun-unless there is
quick and successful action to stop NaZi-
ism.
But stitch in time might still hold
together the battered fabric Of the world
we have known. The issue may be de-
cided in the next month or two. And
from all reports the vital material fac
