Morale Weakening

Reports of rioting in Milan and Turin, where
three Italian officers and some 200 other per-
sons are said to have been killed in riots,
would be Of f~irst-rate significance if true. Dis
turbances on such a scale could be taken as a
sure sign of an imminent Italian crack-up.
AS near as can be judged, however, rumors
greatly exaggerate the facts if they are not
made up out of whole cloth. They came from
Belgrade, nowadays a source of as much
nropaeanda as truth. American correspond
ents in Italy are inclined to accept the denials
Of Fascist spokesman.
On the whole it seems unlikely that unrest
in Italy has yet reached the point where
something approaching armed revolt has
broken out. it seems still more improbable
that German troops would be needed to deal
with the situation, even if they were in that
region-and the Italians insist that so far Ger
man help has been confined to air units.
Blu if these stories from Belgrade must be
heavily discounted, trustworthy evidence of
bad Italian morale keeps on accommodating.
It is frankly admitted now, in Rome, that the
fall of Tobruk has put Marshal G%raziani's
Libyan forces in a delicate" position. The
precipitate retreat in Eritrea is a sign Of
Weakness. Desperate attempts to counter at.
tack on the Albanian front have failed and a
d~efeatist attitude is reflected in the conten-
ton, advanced by some Italian experts, that
a further retreat is required.
Quite obviously Mussolini's soldiers Of the
fighting fronts are not standing up well under

that at home, as well, there is a growing dis
taste for the war and increasing distrust of
Fascist leadership.

. Editorial Comment
LABOR RACKETS AT BRAGG
Raleigh News and Observer

Judge Ben Thomas of Rocky Mount gave
publicity to a situation which not only in
North Carolina deserves publicity when he
advised three penniless painters to stay away
from Fort Bragg because labor union init
alton fees there has created lone of the most
outrageous situations that ever happened in
our country"
It is to be hoped that Judge Thomas knows
what he is talking about because this is a
matter about which there has been more loose
talk than actual Information. The Judge said
that he had reliable information that labor
union leaders demanded between $50 and 500
before they would permit a man to 60 to work
on the project and that, after payment of the
money, there was nothing to deter the union
leader from firing the newly employed man
and retaining the fee.
The Judge in effect charged that labor rack
cts are in full swing at Camp Bragg. It is a
serious charge. OF course, painters, like law
yers, are anxious to restrict the practice of
their art to the member of their trade asso-
Citations. They have a right to charge fees
for membership. Undoubtedly, however, in
some unions rackets have developed which
deserve the condemnation of friends of work
ing men.
If the Judge is right in his suggestion that
there is an outrageous situation, which is to
say there is labor racketeering at Fort Bragg,
the facts should be brought to light. If he is
talking from the bench in nisstatement Of the
facts, labor men who are interested in the
cause of labor in North Carolina should an
swer him and make the facts clear.
The Judge has made a serious charge. I'm
less it is answered, people will assume that
an outrageous situation in fact does exist. If
it does the Labor Department of North Caro-
lima and Army officials at Fort Bragg should
act to put an end to it..
In any case as the situation stands too much
has been said or not enough.

"The Evil Men Do"

The death of Count Stephen Csaky, Hun
garian foreign minister who ranged his country
beside the Axis, challenges the contention that
it is good policy to seek a negotiated peace
with totalitarian regimes because those who
dominate them will som day be replaced by
men OF good will.
The trouble with this kind Of thinking is that
it fails to face the fact that Hitler is more
than an Individual. He is also the embody-
ment of a philosophy, a force, and a system,
and these things, which are the products not
of one man but of many, have a life of their
own. They will not die when Hitler dies-un-
less both are broken by another power.
Z Thus Count Csaky's policy must be con-
tinued though he disappears from the scene,
because he created the conditions that compel
any successor TO follow it. He forged the ties
between his country and the Axis. They can
not be broken by the new foreign minister, no
matter what his convictions happen to be.
The time may come when Hungary will
follow a different course, for if the Axis is de.
feated the foundation on which Count Csaky
built will be blasted out of existence. But al
the moment Hungary must hew to the line he
laid out. There is no escape, just as there
would be no escape for a Goering or a Cianc

BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Looking back on
the inauguration, there were so many things
worth recording that the crowded news wires
couldn't find space for, that I am putting
down some of them.
For instance, maybe some of you heard, over
the radio, that tiny, far-away voice which in
termittently kept crying throughout the cere-
mony-not only during the oath-taking but
also during the Presidents 'Hurra-
a-ay for President ROOSEVELT"
That was the 5-year-old daughter of a news
papernan who, by the way, has written some
OF the most vigorously nti-Roosevelt stories
and whose paper is much against the New
Deal.
Papa, whose face was very red, was a nun
dred yards away in the press section and could
do nothing about it. But daughter scored i'm
mensely.
A Kentucky Democrat standing behind her
leaned over and said: Honey, anyone as loyal
as you are deserves a better seat" He picked
her up and put her on his shoulder where she
remained throughout the ceremony continuing
to shout at the top of her childish tremoio:
"Hurra-a-ay for President Roosevelt!'
A secret service man who knew her father
and his attitude toward the New Deal told me
later: If I had known whose child she was,
L would have gone over and tapped her on
the shoulder and said: What are you doing,
Honey . heckling?''
Jimmy Roosevelt, tycoon of the juke = box
movies, probably caused more CONSERVATION
among the uninitiated than any other person.
The question almost invariably was: ''Who
IS that foreign diplomat on whose arm the
President is leaning?"
The answer was: '"Thats no foreign diplo'
mat, that's Captain James Roosevelt Of the
United States Marines
The reason for the question: Dress uniform
OF the Marines is about as antiquated as an
Admiral's hat. It would take an Adonis to gel
away with those gold-fringed epaulets ano
that gold-braided cap. Not that Jimmy didn'1
wear them well, but he could be and was mis-
taken for someone from Iraq.
A cheer for the ~selectees from Fort Dix,
N. j., only in training a month, who marched
as smartly as any veteran regiment that ever
turned out for the Inaugural. Three cheers
for the lad who, approaching Windy corner
at PENNSYLVANIA Avenue and 18th Street, lost
his cap but not his step-and marched the

Well, you do see people like that.
You see all sorts of shades and
shadows, and some are vignettes
of the really hard side of life.
There was one old man with a
convincing whine and white hair
who had been brought in for beg
ging. It was his third offense. It
had been proved that he was a
heavy property owner, that he had
money in two banks, well able to
take care of himself. After this
they sent him up for a severe spell.
There was, too, a boy and a
girl, from Harlem, who had at
tempted to settle their quarrel by
tossing a little acid at one another.
When the girl missed with the acid
she used a razor on the boys arm.
He was grinning. He wasn't mad.
"Jes a little scrap, judge-one OF
them things" he said.
There were two brothers W h o
would not speak. Suddenly they
lunged at each other. The cops
quickly squelched these goings-on,
and the magistrate demanded what
the trouble was. The cop said he
had found them fighting in tn e
street. They never did tell what
the fight was about, at least not
while I was there. They were taken
away and placed in separate cells.
In all, an evenings bag will

The Lucky Few

The program to beautify the city hall prop

Works James E.. L. Wade, is commendabie,
especially as the recreation center for Camp
Davis soldiers will be created at Fourth and
Princess. The two undertakings can be made
to dovetail and, with adequate planning, move
simultaneously to successful completion.
In his announcement, Commissioner Wade
says that a parking place for city hall en-
ployes is a part of the plan. This, too, is to
be commended. It is solacing to think that
