But here he writes an entire book
about how much sickness is the
result of maladies of the soul.
There are plenty of examples Of
Dr.. Hertzler's humor. He is
little suspicious of the value of
a prolonged university education
nowadays. He tells the story of
a woman who taught Greek in a
state university and who gave it
up TO get married and have baby.

for knowledge, nor are they des-

are simply breeding some SWELL

DR.. Hertzler has good deal to
say about marriage. and divorce,
and youthful love. To quote again,
he feels that the social workers
who specialize in the divorce
problem are a queer lot. One he

underneath she was a cruel, nag

And what is Mussolini saying to
Adolf Hitler and Hitler to Mussolini?
1t is generally accepted that after
they have exchanged smiles and
handShakes for the official camera
men, and they get down to business
behind closed doors, relations are
not beamingly pleasant. Fuehrer
may remind Duce that he himself
had inspected Helgoland and the
Siegfried Line before the war and
been close to his troops in Poland
and France. Mussolini has not been
in Libya or Albania, so far as we
know.
Having gone into the war when
the going was good after Hitler
had France down, Mussolini might
propose that the best going in sight
for him was peace with Britain,
which would open the Mediter-
ranean to replenish his dangerously
decreasing store of supplies and mu-
nitions. That leaves the question
to Hitler whether to carry his part
ner-and if SO in his pocket-allow-
ing him enough food, If it can be
spared, to keep his people from
starving, and possibly war material
enough to hold out in Libya and
Albania. Hitler can hardly afford
to let Mussolini out of the war.
Hitlers Situation Better.
AS for Hitler's own supply situa-
ton, there is definite information
that it is at present better than
year ago. He has about 4.5O0,O0
men under arms, II divisions in
Scandinavia, so in Germany, 60 in
France and 100 in Poland and the
East. This might be taken as an
indication Of preparation for an
offensive in the East. But there
the little partner has somewhat
cramped the axis style. Turks and
Bulgars appear less inclined to be
cowed by the big partner after the
way the little partner is being be-
labored.
Franco of Spain is in a very warm
If not as hot spot as Mussolini. If
the Nazis march through Spain on
Gibraltar, then Franco will sit at
the head of table of emeritus di-
rectors under a Nazi chieftain as
active autocrat over all. To overawe
the Spanish force in Morocco Gen.
Maxine Weygand has much
larger force, free now of any inter-
ference from Mussohni on the
Libyan side of Northwest Africa,
which might preclude the employ
ment Of the guns across the straits
from bombarding Gibraltar in con-
cert with Nazi land attack.
The great piece of goods which
Hitler has yet to deliver, and which
he has led his people to expect, is
the conquest of Britain. On that he
is concentrating as he brings ma
chinery from the conquered coun-
tries to speed up the production of
planes and submarines, which is
one reason he can afford to divert
little war material to Mussolini.

granted that the defense program
will dawdle along still further as it
did in France and as it did in Brit
ain till the war gets closer to us
and then there will be panicky de-
mand for security and safety and
the price of such belated defense
effort may be the wiping out of the
whole system of private initiative
and the substitution of State capi-
talism or national socialism which
all sides say they abhor but which
in a crisis will be grasped as the
only way to bring national discipline.
The outlook for the defense pro-
gram is grave because politics is
more important here than national
defense and until the people find a
way to compel their representative
in Congress to make up, the whole
theory Of representative government
will be found to have come a cropper
in perhaps the greatest world crisis
that has developed during American
history.

{. Of {. Urges Continued
Development Of AirIines

The United States Chamber of
Commerce has recommended that
commercial airlines be allocated
sufficient equipment to "carry on

sistent with defense needs"
This view was set out in a report
by the chambers Transportation
Committee, which cited a Defense
Commission priorities plan for re-
leasing airline equipment purchased
or on order to the armed services
and giving the Army and Navy de-
livery preferences, while providing
for maintenance of present service

The committee said that the
boards plan appeared to provide a
reasonable reconciliation of the
most urgent equipment needs of
both military and civil aviation"
but that 1t was important to make
adequate ALLEGATIONS of equipment

but it was not debated thoroughly
Wendell Willkie and his supporters
fell down on this issue. Had the
facts been persistently and repeat
edly aired the American people
might at least have elected sub
stantial majority of Republicans to
act as a check on an Indifferent
Executive. For most of the talk
about aiding Britain is in the head
lines and not on the assembly lines
of airplane factories or shipyards.
AS it is Congress is asleep at the
switch. Only a handful of members
in both houses are vocal about the
delays and distractions to our de-
fense program. A serious strike was
fomented, for example, at the Vultee
aircraft plant The Attorney Gen.

at work behind the strike and he
also calls attention to the fact that
sabotage on defense work cannot be

about it but fears it's matter for
State law.
When, however, some pants
presser works an employe longer
than 40 hours, it's interstate COM
merce and the courts under the New
Deal have upheld it. There is never
any trouble stretching Federal law
when it comes to harassing an en-
ployer but there is lately no power
at all in the Federal Government
when labor commits a breach of the
peace and impedes the flow of goods
in interstate commerce as in the
sit-do En strikes of Michigan or in

the Italian race, some speaking
broken English, in our army in
France. How well they fought is of
indelible memory. But, of course,
they were not fighting for Premier
Mussolini or as Italians. They were
fighting as Americans.
Primarily, the Albanian and North
African campaigns spell the failure
of a dictatorship in making war.
Here is reinsurance for the selectees
of various races I saw having their
initial drill in the manual of arms
in one of our camps yesterday, re-
assurance for democracy in armed
defense.
Mussolini has had the power of a
dictator for central planning in
preparation for war and execution
in war in contrast with democracies
handicapped by the delays of dis
cussion and divided councils. His
voiceless people went to war when
he said the word. He could choose
the propitious hour for releasing
his armed striking power in catapul-
TIC surprise.
Democracy in Action.
Democracies go through the pro-
cess toward coordination which we
are now going through. The people
choose when they will go to war
and what for. They let all the
world know they are going to war
But they can surprise the enemy
once they have a fair start-after
they are in war.
1t was Dictator MuSsolini who was
taken by surprise both in Albania
and North Africa. On form, he
should have had coordination by
land, sea and air. But it was the
British command which had that
of all three.
Democracys sons in this action
had timing and team work and the
dictator's had not. Mussolini's navy
could not even prevent the British
warships from standing off the coast
and shelling the garrisons enveloped
by the swift British rush.
At this writing, the British and
the Greeks are still advancing. No
matter if they stop and hold their
gains, Mussolini's spearhead is
broken, he is falling back with a
battered shield, trying to prevent
complete disaster in a perilous situ-
alton.
Two Retreating Fronts.
In Albania, evidently. he has al
ready utilized many of his Alpine
mountain troops who are finding
that the Albanian are a different
kind of mountains than the Alps.
He is fighting to hold retreating
overseas. Will he be able to keep
the sea clear to reinforce and sup
ply his army in Libya? If he can
get the supplies, can he get them
and the men across the Adriatic in
time to hold enough ground for final
defense or to organize an offensive
in Albania?
How about keeping his people on
still shorter rations to continue the
struggle when they did not want to
go to war while the "befuddled" de-
mocracies who go to war out of con-
viction keep on stubbornly fighting
out of conviction?
1t is hard for a dictator, or a rul-
ing dynasty, to retain power after
either can no longer deliver the
goods" Witness Napoleon, and later
in the World War the Austrian
Hapsburg and the Prussian Hohen-
zollern dynasty. There may be room
for Exile Mussolini to saw wood
elsewhere if not in the company of
old Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The sawdust is out of the front
of the boastful Duce Jove of pre-
war days. The sudden collapse of
his blown-up prestige has no paral-
lei since the surrender of Napoleon
