BY HUGH S. JOHNSON

DEFORE this sudden foray by
- his right flank on western
Europe and when there was still
some speculation as to whether
he would not team up with Italy
and strike France by his left
flank, Hitler is reported to have
said that he didn't even want
Mussolini to enter the war
that with Benito neutral he
didn't need to worry about that
sector, but if II Duce came in
he would have to detach 80 Ger
man divisions to protect him.
There was good sense in that.
The French general staff had
somewhat the same idea about
Benito. The only offensive they
had planned against Hitler was
to strike Mussolini and they ex-
pected it to be a joyride. Before
that could develop. Adolf had
Sideswiped them on the other
side and Benito took what he
thought was his opportunity.
THE world knows the result.
i Mr.. Hitler was right the first
time. Reports make it clearer
daily that he has simply had to
appoint himself receiver il
bankruptcy for busted Benito.
with all the risks and response
bilities that the job implies.
Italy has become a vassal
state to Germany and. for how
ever long it may last. it is
fact worth remark that Hitler
has thereby restored approx
mately the boundaries of the
empire of Charlemagne in which
the inclusion of Italy. according
to the great world historian
Dupuy. lost thereby its inde-
pendence for 10 centuries"
AS a modern war power. Italy
simply doesn't exist and, in COM
parison with the rest, hasn't
existed in our time. No nation
can really be formidable in
modern war without owning or
having access to three great
industries-chemical. metallur-
gical and manufacturing.
Italy has had none of these.
She is just a long salient stuck
out into the Mediterranean
where she is as vulnerable and
uncomfortable as sore thumb.

APRIL, OUR MONTH OF WAR

1t is now April, our nations month of
war!
Three times, in the same month, the
United States has begun to fight. The
twelfth is the anniversary of the shot at
Fort Sumter that began four years of
bloody strife The twenty fifth marks our
declaration of war against Spain and the
sixth is the anniversary of our entry into
the World War.
Once more, in 1941, the United States
faces more than the possibility of warfare
AS Spring comes to the nation, to give 1t
gladness, the threat of hostilities adds
touch of sadness.
There is some comfort in the thought
that the people of the United States have
seen the way they should walk. They have
reaffirmed their stand for the freedom of
men, regardless of the danger that the
course entails.
The world, be it recalled, was not
meant toYbe the mausoleana of human hope,
the grave of human faith and the cemetery
of human personality. 1t simply is not or
daired. Those who seek to plunge hui
manity into the darker barbarisms of
earlier eras wage battle as fruitless as the
effort of Winter to obliterate the rebirth of
nature, that comes with Spring and warns
the heart of man.

WHERE'S THE MONEY GOING?

A proposal of Florida's county judges
to increase the cost of automobile drivers
licenses from so cents to ST has brought
editorial comment from many of the states
newspapers.
The proposal was made at a conven-
ton of county judges last month in Tampa,
but has not won great deal of support
from anyone outside the circle OF magis-
tlates Monroe county Judge Lord, in
cidentaIly, did not attend the conference
and has neither backed nor opposed the
proposed increase.
Figures produced by the judges study of
the subject, however, are interesting.
The present SO cent fee, which pro-
vides for no examination of drivers and is
purely revenue catcher produces for the
state about $350,000 year. 1t is collected
in addition to the state gas tax of cents
a gallon and the automobile tag fee of
about $40.
For their $3.50, 600 year, the auto
drivers of the state are getting the services
Of 40-odd road patrolmen, whose coverage
of CT counties obviously is sketchy. Since
ZS states operate fOdu pdITOlS oI 1888 uii6lIl
$500 600 a year, and many of them on less
than Florida now is spending, newspaper
observers have wondered what the patrol
plans to do with the $700,000.Qr more it
would get from the Increase in drivers
license fees assmotuA paC
tits perfectly obvious that the state
road patrol is undermined, but it is not as
obvious how the state gets so few patrolmen
for so much money
Monroe county, for instance, has one
patroman to cover about 100 miles of
highway "a hours a day. The county sells
licenses to about 5000 drivers a year for
the state, so the ST 500 which is its share of
the road patrol melon is not too high. The
average. however, runs to about $4,000 per
year. per county since many of the 81 larger
counties in the state also are getting only
one patrolman for far more money and
some of the smaller counties are getting no
patrolmen for whatever money they
put in.

PROSECUTING" BUSINESS

Here's a new something, or other, in
connection with lawsuits.
A Pittsburgh lawyer recently sued
forty-one electrical contractors, twelve
firms and trade association to recover
losses on Federal public works projects. He
accused the defendants of defrauding the
government through collusre bidding.
The jury awarded him s203. as
damages and $4,000 in penalties. The
award must be split with the government
because the plaintiff sued under law of
1868 which permits taxpayer 10 seek re-
covery of double the losses incurred by the
government as a result of fraud.
This is pretty kettle of fish in demo
cracy. where private initiative is supposed
to have its just rights. What are business
men going TO do 10 protect their interests if
silly taxpayers are TO sue them for damages
Just because they take the government 10
ride through collusive bidding. After all.
when business deals with governments. isn't
c0llusive bidding prerogative Of trade as
sociations and their members?

: The st. Lawrence Waterway and
Power Project, pet project of President
Roosevelt, is now before Congress in the
form of an agreement between the United
States and Canada, is certain TO arouse pro-
Hinged debate and bitter discussion. A
former proposal in the form of a treaty. was
previously rejected by the Senate, In the
form now proposed it is like sneaking it in
10y the back door. Such a procedure is not
likely to increase confidence in the Ad-
miniStration which at this particular time is
so desperately needed. II hoondogling is
again TO become phase of government. it
is easily seen that advocates of the Florida

new their efforts for that project on which
more than $5,000.0Oo have been ditehed.

Files OF The Citizen

Norberg Thompson last night
resigned as chairman of the coun-

pressing his unwillingness to con-
sinue putting his ok" on bills
for expenditures about which he
has not been consulted.
Thompson particularly criticiz-
led the keeping in commission of
the county's yacht Mayflower,
which has been in use most of
/ the time since the first of the
year.
| II don't know what she is sup
posed to be doing, he said, shut

$500 month to keep this boat in

cost is not justified.

The Citizen, in an editorial,
said:
with the legislature about to
convene, it is distinctly encour-
laying to have Attorney William
v. Albury, representative IN
that body, say that he considers
Production in expense of state
government the most important
matter which will come before
that body.
with this view, Mr.. ,Albury
undoubtedly will find that vast
majority of the thinking folk of
the state concur. Never before in
history have taxes been SO high:
seldom. if ever. has the people
been less able to pay.
IF then, Mr.. A1burv and others
like him do not take the bull by
the horns, there is no remedy in
sight; tax burdens will grow
heavier each year and the de-
velopment of the state will be
correspondingly retarded.

Accident
IT was the next Friday night that

"Emily's coming up tonight
though, Lovely. Let's be here and
do something quiet with her.
She's so unhappy"
emily! Emily! You and your

"The old bent pretzel talk again.
"You don't sound like the moth
er of my daughter" iokingly.
Lovely looked at him intently
for a moment.
"You know l could have liked
Emily if things had been differ

I think I'm beginning to hate
her"
Don't. Enily's grand girl"

Lets not start that again,
darling"
His attitude angered her more.
you're awfully careful what
any one says about Emily"
And though the quarrel went
no further there was a vague
cloud over their happiness.
After Emily arrived WINTHROP
Ramsey came in with another
dog man" and girl. Ramsey had
been drinking or he never would
have asked Roger and Lovely to
go out with him and his friends.
Thanks, but I'd rather not go
tonight. Ramsey" Roger said
pleasantly but with an air of dis
missal. And at the same time
Lovely's voice said: swell! Oh,
I'd love it. Let's get going"
Ramsey looked from one to the
other. 81
"Never mind the double talk.
Let's sift some meaning out OF
this" he said. "Coming?"
''No, thanks, Ramsey" from
Roger.
"Who said that" Lovely
laughed. Speak for yourself,
sweetie pie! A house was madesto
60 out of. Come on kids! My feet
itch"
Lovely, not tonight. Let's"
Roger started to say.
you're still in that bent pref

Let's have fun! l can think of
things that need doing, and places

'But we're m not going,
Lovely" Roger said.
Lovely looked at him intently
for an instant. Then, ooh, you're
not? Well. I am"
She ignored Emily, who stood
looking from one to the other.
And Emily was tearing a cigaret
to bits in her hands.
"You should have gone" she
said with disturbed note il her
voice when they were alone.
'Why? I've never gone with
Ramsey on his iaunts and I don't
see why I should begin now.
That's the one thing I've never
liked about him. He's a cracker
jack with dogs. but he drinks too
much"
"But Lovely out with him and
you here - you should be with
her." Emily said.
That's something I can't help.
couldn't have forced Lovely to
stay here"
The older Cosgraves went out.
Roger and Emily played Chinese
checkers for a willie. and when
they tired of that they listened
to the radio. Finally they sat talk
ing in little disconnected bits.

looked in on the two for a mo-
