advisable" That betrays a rath-
er backward state of affairs, as
does the revival of amputation as
a penalty for theft. We do not
admire the local governor who,
when a wayfarer reported to him

THE VIEWS Of IBN SAUD


ALWAYS laudable and we cannot
but call rather barharic judicial
amputations" where 1.-The offend
ing paw is allowed to fall to the
ground and the burglars stump
is then dipped in boiling oil which
cauterizes the wound" Such me-
dieval practices, together with the
existence of a large unpaid ser
want class" namely slaves I'M
ported from the Sudan, are MOTH
ing to be proud of and contrast
unfavorably with the Kings po-
session of one thousand automo-
biles. mostly imported from the
U. S. A., of which number his
Majesty retains 500 or so to eX-
pedite travel for himself and
the members of his family"
Nor is there any reason to
boast of a financial system which,
according to Mr.. Busch, provides
the Kings total revenue from the
pilgrimage, the British Govern
ment and the California Standard
Oil Company, each supplying a
bout one third, a system that en-
counters no serious troubles, since
any deficit caused by diminished
pilgrimages during the war lis
made up by the other two"
During the first World War
"Ibn Saud was induced"-by what
means is not said but easy to
guess-'to remain a benevolent
neutral" For this rather mega
tive virtue he and his people as
well as all the Arab nations were
richly rewarded after the Allied
victory. Out of the inheritance
of the deceased Turkish Empire
five or six Arab states emerged,
some sovereign right from the
start, others to become independ-
ent after being administered tenn
porarily under a mandate system.
It is true that the old Turkish
Empire, imposing its yoke on the
Arab world for four hundred
wears. had barred the economic
and cultural development of all
the peoples it embraced; but it is
also true that after the collapse
of that Empire the Arabs did not
show much initiative in develop
ing their freed countries. One of
the main reasons. according to
Mr.. Busch, is that "Moslems in
general, and Central Arabian
Moslems in particular, are inclin-
ed to be distrustful of such bless
ings"-namely material prosper
ity" and cultural development"
In World War No. 2 Ibn Saud
once more "has preserved a be-
nevolent neutrality" He gets
special credit for not having fall
tered in this attitude even when,
nearly year ago, Rommel's
army stood in Egypt. Currently
he is enjoying the gratitude
of the U. S. and England, tan
gibly expressed in shipments of
gold, grain and lend-lease We
hicles." 1T has turned out well
for all concerned"
It has indeed. Sitting on the
fence and not taking any active
part in the fighting-an attitude
that was so lucrative to the Arabs
in the first World Warts likely
to prove profitable once more
Alreadyq it bears the golden
fruits.
However, no mortal being en-
joys complete happiness. Ibn Saud
has his worries too. He is worried
about the Jews. But don't gel
that wrong. He is not worried a.
bout their sufferings in the great
European tragedy in which they
play the leading role. At least
there is no hint in Mr.. Busch!

Now the "One down" has become a fact Not merely pompouS, loud-mouthed, yellow ivered Mussolini is down, but the nation of decent people that he betrayed has collapsed as belligerent thrown in the sponge, surrendered uncon- ditionally
 One down. That makes us very happy. Truly, we have passed the end of the be- ginning and have arrived at the begin ming of the end. But-two to go. The guy who has been tucked away was at the bottom of the batting order, where the pitcher usually is, although Mussolini and his reluctant Italy have done no pitching since little Greece forced MuSso to call in a relief hurler. The men now coming up are at the top of the batting order We can get them out But there's no use kid ding ourselves that we can sneak any floaters past them the way we did with the Italians, who never wanted to play ball anyway, but who would much rather have sat under their olive trees with some bot ties of chianti and sung sweet love songs to their girl friends.
 The Germans and the Japanese are tough babies. They are tough because they love this game of war, because they have been long and well trained in it, be- cause they got the jump on us, and not least because they realize that when they are whipped they are not going to get off as easily as the Italians will. By all means let us rejoice at the victory over Musso- lini and the Italians. But let's forget this out of the trenches before Christmas hooie. It's not only silly, it's dangerous. We've got to whip the Nazis and the Japs until they're paralyzed. So now that we've given three rousing cheers for ourselves, let's get on with the job.

Tragedy In Our Midst

because they have accustomed them Ayes to death, and sudden death, and <tragedy in all forms, the men and women of the press are popularly depicted as be- Ing callous and soul-lesS and without appreciation of pain. Doctors have been depicted in that light too, and even nurses. But the sight of all these things Is part of their calling, and they have to react in their own way.
 They have to react in their own way, for if they did otherwise they would fail in their calling, and betray their own gods, and those to whom they would be kind. It is not easy for them to be callouS and soul-leSS at the sight of pain and suffering. But if they were other wise, where would they be?
 The bus-truck accident yesterday after noon brought sadness to many; the loss of life now two and the number injured placing the making of what some thought was just another crash, major tragedy. And 1t comes at time when we are faced with tragedy all around us, in the theaters of battle, in the air, and the quite recent railroad wrecks which took large toll.
 When death stalks, and tragedy takes the center of the stage, those who are not witnesses to the actual scene want to know about it. Some, mayhap, from mor- bidneSS; others for better and kinder and sadder reasons. But birth, and marriage, and death are news, and the greatest of these is death-tragic.
 So we here on the Democrat yesterday, holding up an edition to do so, published front page story about sorrow in our midst, one of the things "that couldn't happen here" But it happened, and we wrote about it as we write of bigger trage- dies on bigger fronts in global war. It was more difficult, however, for us here to report news of this sort of our own Water bury than to write of bombers missing over Berlin. That, from this distance, seems far and away, impersonal. This other wasn't. This other was something that happened to our own people in our own city. We had to tell about it. It wasn't easy. The Democrat sincerely wishes to convey it's sympathy to all those affected by the tragedy.

New Tax Program,

Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has ex- pressed desire to assist Congress in form ulating the new tax bill which is to be adopted, we hope, between now and the new year. But, according to Representa- tive Knutson of Minnesota and RepreSen- tative Doughton of North Carolina, the Treasury has no rounded program to of- fer.
 Having in mind what happened when the Treasury helped Congress frame the pay-as-you-earn tax law, MT. Morgen- thou'S lack of plan now cannot be con- sidered as really catastrophe.
 The congressman, who have been around talking with constituents, must know that while we taxpayers are ready to pay more, if that is the way to beat Hit Ter and Tojo, we aren't prepared to stand much longer for such amateurish bung- ling as that of last spring.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-14
Control of Food

There has been a good deal of talk about feeding the people of war-fam- dshed Europe. Governor Lehman of New York resigned his position to become the Presidents Food Administrator, and very little has been heard concerning any results he may have attained. Whatever may have been accomplished by the Hot Springs, Virginia Conference has never been very clearly explained to the public. Among the proposals that met with gen. eral support in our country related to sending seed to the stricken countries in order that they might grow more of their own food supplies. From the beginning of the invasion of the Italian territory until the time of unconditional surrender our military forces did pretty well in the matter of giving away food to our ene- mics. Now Italy is in different claSsifi- cation and perhaps even hungrier than before.
 Early in the war good deal of stress was placed upon putting man in charge of feeding Europe who "knew how" His name was Herbert Hoover. But the New Deal put it's political boot to that valu- able suggestion.
 Another important matter connected with this subject must not be overlooked. In the last war we fed the youngsters who are now trying to destroy the very things the United Nations are fighting to save. Are we going to repeat that nonSenSical performance in view of the fact that the Germans have plundered and stolen food from every occupied country they have Invaded? There may not be enough food left in Germany, but if the conquered Germans don't have enough to eat that's their fault-let them worry.
 All of which sums up to the total fact that while we have been rationing food at home we have not even scratched the sur face in creating program for supplying food to France, the Scandinavian coun- HEiss and other friendly people.
