Aliens Registration
 Begins Here Tuesday
Factories Cooperating With Postmaster; Preliminary Survey Reveals Immense Amount of Work

The local factories are cooperat- ing with Postmaster Charles A. Bab- in in preparations for the vast pro- ject of registration of aliens here, which is scheduled to start next Tuesday morning. Each of the larger local factories enploye hundreds of aliens, and it would be very difficult for the postal authorities, in charge of the tabulation, to- get much in- formation on these men prior to the actual registration. Consequently, in order to do the job more efficiently, and with as little lost time as pos sible, the postmaster has arranged with all the local manufacturers to draw up lists of the aliens they em- ploy, and to assist them in filling out the forms in advance of the of- ficial registration at the post office.

ITALY WILL KEEP
 HOT AFTER GREECE
To Insist Greece RenOunce
 All Guarantees From Great Britain
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

NOAhtCW ACo0 0sDn NVIICSUUAuCUtl
 Rome, Aug. 24-(UP)-Italy will insist that Greece renounce the guarantee of its territorial integrity Great Britain gave it, well informed sources said today, and it was added that any move by Britain to force the issue between Italy and Greece would result in immediate Italian counter steps.
 !. Tension between Italy and Greece seemed to be increasing. It was denied that Italy had handed an ultimatum to Greece demanding re- nunciation of the British guarantee but is was asserted that Britain was putting pressure on Greece to main- tain the present state of British Greek relations.
 According to usually well informed sources, the Italian viewpoint is that Greek collaboration with Britain must cease because it interferes with the Axis blockade" against Britain
 Where It Hinges
 It was suggested in diplomatic quarters that demands on Greece might hinge on the extent to whict Greece shook of British influence.
 Authoritative opinion seemed to he that if Greece abandoned close rel ationS with Britain, Ttalo-G Greek ten- sion would be eased at once and that solution of the alleged Greek Albanian problem would soon be found.
 Taly's aim seemed to be to wipe out British influence throughout the Balkans in line with the new order" which it and Germany envisage, and Italy considers Greece definitely within it's sphere of influence.
 The impression was gained that tai yhad made it clear to Greece through diplomatic channels, what it expected and was waiting for the Greek government to act. Authori- tative quarters deprecated reports that any military solution to the problem would be envisaged by Italy unless the present resort to diplom- Rcy should fail.
 Italian Communique
 Rome, August 24 = tUP) -Ital- ian planes, in a night bombing raid on the airport of Khartoum, capi- tai of the Anglo-E Egyptian Sudan, caused great destruction of ham, gars and a great fire" high com- mand communique reported today.
 Tn northern Africa, the com munique said, Italian planes car- ried out prolonged" bombardments of the air field at Sidi /Barroni, Egypt: British concentrations in ; the Marsha Matruh zone and the Alexandria naval base" In all these raids outstanding results were attained" the comnunique said. Large fires resulted"
 The communique admitted that British torpedo-launching seaplanes had attacked an Italian submarine which was leaving the Gulf of Bomba and had hit 1t with 3 tor pedo.
 Most of the crew was saved" the communique said. "The sub- marine will be salvaged. One Brit iSh plane was shot down."
 Britain reported yesterday that its planes sank two Italian sub- marines, a destroyer and 8 sub- marine depot ship anchored in the Bomba roadstead.)
 The communique said that Brit ish planes had raided Massawa, Berbera and Debel in East Africa without causing casualties or dam- age.

tunate people very well. But the
tumultuous Churchill government
reversed the process. It began to
intern the anti-Nazi professors and
writer's, sometimes putting them in
the same concentration camps with
the Nazis themselves. But the
worst was this: Many, many Of
these anti-Nazis-Jews and Gentiles
were shipped off to Canadian jails,
where treatment is far harsher than
in kindly England. But though the
victims were sent to Canada, the
criminal dossiers we're left be-
hind in England. Hence the vic
Tins had no way to sue for release.
They were forgotten men. It was
all too horrible. Liberal English
men, of humane convictions, were
declaring that Churchill had turned
Canada into a ''howling Russian ST.
beria."

President Roberto Ortiz of the Ar
gentine resigned the presidency of
South Americas No. / pure-white
republic. His health has been very
poor. Also, there was savage SEN
atorial investigation of government
land purchases for a local aerial
base. Senior Ortiz thought the in
vestigation reflected on him, in one
way or another. He decided to
present himself for reelection, to
test and defend his public record.
Ortiz is good man. The Argentine
senate and chamber of deputies
were to meet, in joint session, to
vindicate or GUST their president by
ballot. Political wiseacres were
sure that Ortiz would get his vote

La France nationalized all the

done this way: oui, oui. The re-
publique standardized and stream
lined its totalitarian footwear. It
was to be standard shoe, manu-
featured in eight sizes, and it will
be the only one permitted on the
market. This will cut industrial
production costs, lower retail prices,
and speed up production. It will cut
out all the foot-fripperies la Pari-
sienne, of yester-year.

POLAND:
Tyranny

There was more German tyranny
in conquered Poland. The iron mil

Polish customs and ways of life.
There came a new decree, of an I'M

steppes, the towns, the metropoli.
It was this:
Every taxicab driver in Warsaw
and Cracow, Poland's No. / and No.
2 cities, must shave at least every
other day. The edict declared that
it was just as important for cab
drivers to curry themselves as for
these cabbies to curry and groom
the good old dobbins. Here was an
example of the usual combination:
German oppression and German
cleanliness.

and 1t might. Stain fears Hitler
and Mussolini in the Balkans, and
wants to keep his rich Ukrainian
province, the No. 2 Russian federal
state. But if the Soviets helped Eng
land, whittier America? It became
a moot question.
For strong American business
groups hated the communism of
Russia, while even stronger reli-
gious groups hated the Soviet athe-
ism. Would these people cooperate
with an England that boosted a
red, red ally. That was the point.
Or, If Russia became an English
ally, would we start to pamper the
American Communists, who would
also be the allies of Mr.. Churchill?
Spain, Too
Then again-it appeared extreme
ly probable that General Francois
Spain might 60 in on the German
side. What then? Franco is the
idol Of the ruling class in Spanish
America because he saved the Span
ish church and crushed the Spanish
reds. II our state department start
ed to razz Franco, the ally Of Hit
Ter, the South Americans would be
infuriated. Then, what would hap
pen to Secretary Hulps ''good neigh
Dor" policy? Franco is also spe-
cial favorite of the Vatican. If
Franco joined the Germans, what
effect would that have on the Amer
lean faithful? Would they not be-
come increasingly isolationist?
They would still dislike Hitler, of
course, but they could hardly help
but admire the great Spanish cru

DEAD:
r. I. p.

They died like flies, the bigshots
did. Sir Oliver Lodge of England
was one of them. He was the great
scientist, mental telepathist, and
spiritualist. He was 80, and much
beloved by everybody in all coun-
tries. Then there was Leon Trotsky.
or Comrade Braunstein. He was the
organizer of the Red army, the bril-
liant author, the mortal foe of Stain.
Hitler, Churchill, and others.
He was pickaxed by a "good
friend" down Mexico way. Every
body blamed it on Stain and his
dread secret Gestapo, but this was
really rather unlikely. Trotsky was
no longer Of enough Importance to
poster, and Stain is no fool, or time
Waster.
There was also the notable Max
Steuer that died. He was New York
city's best-known lawyer-though
not it's bestowed legalist. Senator
Wagner of New York indicated that
he was such philanthropist and
humanitarian, but many people
shook their heads.
All agreed he was brilliant, smart
and able to the humph degree. Lord
Strickland also died. He was the
famous British governor Of the
Malta naval base, himself half
Maltese, but big social up-and-up
in the British Isles and in the col
onies. Strickland was a Catholic,
but he fought the pope for four
years, then suddenly collapsed and
apologized most abjectly. That was
in 1882. He was also Count Della
Catena and Baron Sizergh. Trouble
some Malta is a quasi-dominion,
and Mussolini means to get it before
he's through.

The Italians continued to bully the
Greeks, in quest of Greek naval
bases to use against England in
the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece
was tied to Turkey, Russia, and
England in one way or another, and
all three of them expressed inter
est and sympathy. Would the war
spread still further, the critics won
dered? Would Greece turn into an
Italic Finland? Meanwhile, the Ital-
ians took British Somaliland on the
Red sea, in an effort to cut the ocean
route between England and her
treasure-house of India. The Brit
ish garrison got away, by flight and
skill, as it had done already at Mar
vik, Dunkirk, and elsewhere. They
said it was another moral victory"
for the Bullmen. All England had
had in Somaliland was sorae South
Africans, the local camel corps
(partly mechanical, partly cam
elled, partly horseO, and a section
of the ubiquitous royal air force.
The R. A. F., as usual, gave a good
account of itself. Not so, the cam
ellaries. The Italians-in-Africa
didn't look so good either, although
they were in there fighting and max
ing the usual big noise $50 the crit
les declared, en- masse).

the Napoleonic CONSUMPTION like poi
son, and many American proletari-
ans dislike the prospect of conscrip-
ton, too. But regardless of their
anti-conscript attitude, the French
plebs rallied round Napoleon, be-
cause they feared the Bourbons
would repeal all the Napoleonic So
cial reforms. The American plebs,
against CONSUMPTION though they
may be, have the same attitude.
They fear that if the "Bourbons"
recapture the White House, even
though they would scrap conscrip-
ton, they might also scrap the
Roosevelt reformation. Hence, the
man in the street is for Roosevelt
