American Pressure on Italy
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 William c. Phillips, American Ambassador to Italy is back in Rome on what must suppose to be a very important mission Tine very fact that he has returned to his post while American Ambas sador has been sent to Germany, indicates that our State Department is making sharp distinction be- tween the two Axis members. Ambassador Phillips return to Rome has given rise to innumerabe ru mors especially since it follows closely the rival of Admiral Leahy in Vichy with definite task Of bucking up France in her resistance to German demands
 One of the most intriguing rumors bearing on MT. Phillips mission, emanating from Rome and wholly unconfirmed holds that MT. Phillips bears message from President Roosevelt for King Victor Emanuel, and perhaps also for Signor Mussolini The message, according to this rumor is very simple and very far-reaching The United States will not break off diplomatic relations at Rome, much less engage in hostilities against Italy, if worse to worst and the United States goes to against Germany.
 True. or false the rumor has it's element of logic. There is ample precedent for maintaining friendly relations with of two allied bel igerents A current example is the fact that Ger many maintains correct diplomatic relations with Greece despite the fact that Greece is at with Germanys ally Since there is no immediate pros pect of American hostilities with Germany the real importance of this American policy if it really exists, is the pressure it might exert on Italy to make a separate peace with Great Britain
 If Ambassador Phillips has such delicate mission as this We may be sure it will not be re- vealed publicly So for the present we can only speculate and withhold judgment.

LAVAL BECOMES APPRAISER

That trip marked turning point in the life of Pierre Laval. From then on he preached the doctrine that France. could not depend upon her one-time allies-America and Britain; must patch up an under standing with her nearest neighbors. Italy and Germany. To this end he went to Italy in 1885 and negotiated a compromise by which Italy took over Ethiopia and parts of French SCmaliland.
 For this he was bitterly denounced not only by the League of Nations and Anthony Eden but by his own people. For time he was relegated to the background But since then, whenever French have found them selves in tight place and forced to adopt policy of appeasement, they have turned to Laval
 This time, of course, Laval was forced upon the Vichy Government by Hitler under the threat that un- occupied France would be occupied lnless the No. Appeaser came back into the Cabinet. All of which indicates how pro-Nazi Laval has | become. 'iI sf

 In the struggle he distinguished himself notably in historic battle in which with force of 4000 men, he held in check Russian army of 10000. But his valor could not avail to prevent the dis memberment of Poland which might have been averted except for the interference of Prussia He was last overpowered and carried prisoner to St. Petersburg tas,t

 If my sole purpose of coming to the United States was to improve relations between the United States and France, the trip would have been Superfluorls."
 That was exactly what the trip turned to be-completely superflu- ous, ill fact, tragic.
 M. Laval departed not only empty handed. but resentful over his treat ment and bitter against the British.

Admiral Darlan, most vigorous of all British critics in France. Admiral Darlan was definitely British before the war started, claiming that five of his ancestors were forced to die for Britain. Since the war he is more so, for during the evacuation of Flanders, the British retreated from one sector sooner than expect ed, blew up bridge, and left group of French troops to be massacred on the other side.
 Admiral Darlan's son was on that side.
 Admiral Darlan, as Marshal Pe- tain's chief adviser, has urged that France follow a neutral course, yielding neither to Germany nor England, but keeping the French fleet and the naval bases in North Africa as bargaining weapon with which to threaten Hitler in case he became too demanding.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13
 Benefic planetary aspects rule today, which should be unusually fortunate for persons in many walks of life. Merchants and manu- lecturers, statesmen and profes- sional men are under the most promising direction of the stars.
 Heart and Home Health and harmony should dominate the fam fly under this configuration. There is a good sign for beginning any new work, great or small. Train ing in the domestic arts is urged for girls, for the seers foretell future in which women in general are to combine public service or wage-earning tasks with home keeping. In days of plenty it is wise to prepare for lack, inasmuch as escape from changed world is impossible. The United States must share in the effects of the destruction of Europe and the ag- gresSion in Asia.
 Business Affairs: Buying and selling are under the best possible planetary influences Manufactur- ing will benefit through accelera- tion of its varied processes. There is a sign today which indicates good news regarding ships bear ing planes to England, but it also indicates certain losses. Warning again is given that spies operate in guises never penetrated, for clever brains are directing the net work of espionage in American fac tories and Earbors.
 National Issues: Educators will be disturbed because ethics are ig- nored among students. The stars presage a return to old ideals and an awakening to the spiritual side of life among the young. The value of the rising generation. will be discussed as legislators realize how much depends upon youth in the preservation of democracy. Meas ures for properly recognizing the services of men engaged in train- ing for defense will be introdnccd in Congress.
 International Affairs: Fire will present problems in the progress of Britain's gallant defense againsv the Nazi forces. This year may be exceedingly difficult in the rela- tions between the Irish and the English owing to the Jupiter Saturn conjunction. In the summer Fire may suffer from serious economic conditions The deaths of political leaders are indicated There ap- pears little sign of unity with tie North until 1942.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of mixed good and bad fortune in the coming year. Love affairs may be perplexing.
 Children born on this day may be fond of learning and highly gifted. Many scientists belong to this decan of February
