The Great Game of Politics

aside from his lack OF enthusiasm
over the New Deal dreamers, was his
refusal more than year ago to take
a course toward Spain which, in his
opinion and that of military author
tiles, both British and American,
would have been very harmful, in
deed.
Some of these liberals" went so
far as personally to call on Mr.. Hull
and insist upon his adopting their
views. When he declined they be-
came greatly inflamed. His policies
in North Africa, though approved by
the President, wholly satisfactory to
the military chiefs and obviously
working well, were even more Bit
terly assailed.
Martyr Attempt Failed.
And then came the resignation Of
Mr.. Sumner Welles, of whom the
liberals" attempted to make a
martyr, which was bad judgment,
and to picture as the "one able man
in the department." which is absurd.
1t was charged that Mr.. Hull forced
Mr.. Welles out because Of personal
dislike and jealousy and that the
President yielded to Mr.. Hull be-
cause of his fear of the Southern
Democrats with whom Mr.. Hull Is
strong.
Neither of these things is true. Mr..
Welles was not forced out by Mr..
Hull for any such reasons and Mr..
Roosevelt did not entertain any such
fear. Every person really informed
about this incident knows better on
both counts. However. there is no
way OF convincing those who do not
want to be convinced and the ham
mering continues unabatedss
Nothing Mr.. Hull now says or does
escapes censure. To hear or read
these anti-Hullites one might think
that the Secretary of State is not
only an ignorant and decrepit reac-
tionary, whose policies have proven
foolish and wicked, but a small,
jealous old man, capable of any form
Of vindictive meanness, vicious as
well as idiotic. Mr.. Hull can well
afford to be serene.
The sort of attack to which he is
being subjected reacts not upon him
but upon those who make it. If the
kind of record the Secretary of State
has made not only in his present
Office but in the others he has held
in his long and honorable career can
be damaged by the sort of attack
now being made upon him, then
honor and courage, character and
capacity count for so little in the
public life OF this country that it
hardly pays to have them.

of rescuing their armies, not for
the purpose of advancing or
holding ground.
The Russians say they are
even throwing in some of their
reserves for this purpose. But
this does not change the fact
that the overall picture is of
withdrawal. 1t is borne out by
the fact that they are evacuat-
ing German nationals from the
whole Ukraine.
On the other side we see that
the Germans are offering a terri
fic resistance in Italy. From a
strategical viewpoint, the con-
centration of their forces there
seems very unwise. 1t has been
argued by military commentators
that the Germans throughout
the war have been superb tao
tlclans, but wretched strategists.
This is, to an extent true. The
German war plan has been bad,
from the beginning. But I doubt
whether this explains the present
behavior, which is dictated both
by military and political con-
siderations.
Some months ago the German
military radio commentator,
Gen. Dietmar. compared the
German situation with that of
Frederick the Great in the
Seven Years War. At that time
Prussia was fighting a war
against a coalition, and Fred
erick's strategy was always to
defeat the first army to appear
menacing, before a common
pressure could be exerted. So
now, when the Anglo-American
forces are appearing in Europe,
they must, according to Gen.
Dietmar, suffer a drastic defeat
even though they may later
recuperate.
Divide Their Strength.
The Germans must, according
to this theory, use their internal
position to deal blows first with
the right hand and then with the
left, never allowing both fronts
to be equally strong at the same
time.
For behind this military policy
is political strategy. That STRAIT
egy is to play the Russians
against the Anglo-Saxons and
vice versa. Germany today is in
a position where she knows she
cannot win the war and is only
playing her hand not utterly to
lose it. And in order to play the
Anglo Americans against the
Russians and vice versa, she has
to confront us with facts, not
with words.
So let us ask: What is the polit-
ical meaning of the withdrawal
from Russia?
Evening star., 1943-09-20

attack" And the feeling is that
when it finally dies out, as it will,
Mr.. Hull will emerge stronger than
ever with the people of the coun-
try. Meanwhile the State Depart
ment detractors continue to hurl
missiles at the Secretary and to be
resentful at their failure to get
results, either in the way of a re-
tort from him or a reaction from
the public.
The most virulent and persistent
Of the Hull critics are to be found
mainly in the little group Of profess
sional liberals" and in the radical
publications which, with slight sue
cess, have been trying rather des-
perately to make an heroic figure
of our decidedly unheroic but ex-
ceedingly eager Vice President, Mr..
Henry Wallace. Actually, the hos
tility toward Mr.. Hull of the "ad-
vanced thinkers" within the admin
istration dates pretty far back to
the beginning Of the New Deal.
They had then and probably
rightly-the idea that Mr.. Hull "is
not one of u.s.
Won Place of Esteem.
In the sense that Mr.. Hull was
unsympathetic toward a lot of the
crackpot ideas developed by the
stargazing experimenters who are
bent on the socialization of the
country, he certainly was not one
Of them. However, he was-and
is-entirely loyal to Mr.. Roosevelt
and no critical or unsympathetic
word concerning the Presidents
policies ever passed his lips. BY the
dignity, determination and COM
potency with which he conducted
his department, stood by his con-
victions and minded his own busi-
ness, he won for himself place in
the esteem of the country not oc-
cupied by any other member of the
administration.
The frequent tributes to Mr.. Hull
and his work paid by anti New Deal
newspapers, antiadministration pub
lie men and private citizens whose
eyes," as the late Gen. johnson in
his NRA days once said, shave not
seen the light" never endeared him
to the liberals" who feel that any
commentator from businessman
Is more or less Of a stigma.
But the open attack upon Mr.. Hull
did not start until after we had got
ten into the war. So far as can be
gathered, the original grievance held
against Mr.. Hull by the liberals"

ports to the contrary, coming
particularly from neutral coun-
tries, the bulk of the Italian
people refused to follow their
liberal leaders during the 80
days of the Badoglio regime.
But many thousands who had
hoped that the overthrow of the
Fascists actually would open a

Jailed and mass executions are
taking place daily.
The regime Of terror is particu-
larly violent in the Turin and

All those who welcomed with
enthusiasm the dawn of a new

munists and rutf1lessly executed.
The little food and other goods
still available in the regions of
Italy under Nazi domination are
being taken into the Reich. Oc-
casionally food trains appear in
the northern cities with the Fas-
cist emblem prominently dis
played. They are advertised as
Germany's personal gifts to the
friends Of II Duce. German prop
aganda emphasizes the fact that
the n1iseries now Detailing the
Italian people were caused by the
people themselves who did not
oppose the "treachery" of King
Victor Emmanuel and Premier
Badoglio. Hence with few excep-
tions the people themselves now
have to suffer the consequences
of their folly"
Little Opposition to Nazis.
From reliable reports received
here 1t appears that there is no
resistance to the Nazi domina-
ton. The stories received from
various quarters and prominently
displayed in America and Eng
land that the Germans are hav-
ing tough time with Italian
troops stationed in Northern Italy
appear to be the product of wish
full thinking.
There were some slight skir-
mishes when the Germans first
decided to take over the nonoc-
cupied portion Of Italy, but on
the whole the Italian Army Of
fered practically no resistance.
Entire divisions were disarmed by
one or two German battalions.
Not even the powerfully organ

formed the bulk of the under

From the German viewpoint it
means the threat that Central
Europe will be open to the Red
Army. And this means that, lack
ing an agreement between Russia
and the Anglo Americans regard
ing the fate of Germany, the
Russians, on the spot, will decide
the issue.
What is the political meaning
of the terrific resistance at Sa-
lerno? 1t is the German intention
to bring home to the Anglo-Amer-
lean powers, the fact that they
alone, without Russia, are unable
to defeat the German Army.
Both facts together are de-
signed to tell the following story:
the western powers have no
chance to impose their war aims
on Europe. They can only enable
the Russians to impose their war
aims. Therefore, say the Germans
to us by actions instead of words
negotiate a peace before it is
too late.
Now all this would be trans
parent and easy to deal with if
we had an understanding with
the Russians concerning the fu-
ture OF Germany and Europe. But
we have not. And I am compelled
to believe that the reason we
have none is because the Anglo
American powers and their lead
ers think rhetoric counts. Neither
the Russians nor the Germans do.
Consider Self Interest.
Both the Russians and the
Anglo-Americans are considering
their own national self interest.
Mr.. Cordell Hull has asserted and
Justified it, and it is in the nature
OF nations. 1t is an open secret
that the Russians have been ex-
tremely difficult to deal with:
that they have Stunned or post
poned conferences with the Pres
ldent and Mr.. Churchill. One
can only assume that they wished
to be in better position before
such a conference should occur.
The best position for the Rus
slams is at time when we are
1nextricably engaged on the con-
tinent Of Europe, and when the
German armies are retreating
from Russia. This moment is
now here.
Meanwhile, We have committed
ourselves to the unconditional
surrender of the German armies,
and the Russians have not. We
have made the phrase into a
policy in dealing with Italy. The
Germans are well aware that
there is no agreement between
the Aaglo-Americans and the
Russians regarding the future of
Germany and Europe. That is no
doubt why they have sent-ac-
cording to a recent report-the
former German Ambassador to
Moscow, Won der Schulenburg. to
Stockholm, obviously with the
object OF putting out feelers to
Moscow. And from Switzerland
other Germans are putting out
teelers in our direction, offering a
change of government in Ger
many in return for peace.
This is dangerous situation.
1t would not be dangerous if we
had an agreement with Russia.
And, as I see it, it will be impos-
slole to reach an agreement with
out change in our policy. If
the Anglo-American powers are
playing for a world hegemony
they will, I fear, get some aston
1shing surprises.

This Changing WorId-

orders to start trouble, tried to
organize wholesale sabotage were
arrested and executed without
trial.
Martial law is strictly enforced.
In spite of the harsh measures
imposed by the Nazis through
their Fascist stooges there are no
indications that there will be any
rebellion. If the American Brit
ish force can throw the Germans
out of Italy, they will be heartily
welcomed by the Italian people.
But the Italians themselves will
not attempt anything which
would only increase the terror in
the Fascist -Nazi dominated coun-
try. The Fascist regime, which
at one time boasted that 1t had
the interests of the common peo-
pie at heart and was going to
bring back the glory Of the Ro-
man Empire, is now nothing more
than the tool of the Gestapo.
Attitude Is Understandable
The lackadaisical attitude of
the people is understandable.
They are starved out and brow
beaten to the point that they are
interested only where and when
they can get another crust Of
bread or a handful of macaroni.
The Italians are tired and look
for aid from outside to save them.
They do not feel that they can
do anything for their own saliva
ton.
This frame of mind of the peo-
pie explains why the Badoglio re-
gime failed.
The impassionate appeals OF
the liberals to the masses to
rise and stand by the new re-
gime found little or no response.
The beautifully worded appeals
carried many fine ideals but no
food. In some instances there
was promise of food but it was
not accompanied by anything
tangible.
The Allies had hoped that the
prestige of the King with the
army and the prestige Of Bado-
Clio with the people would bring
forth a wave of fanatic enthusi-
asm at the news that the war was
over 1t was hoped that in their
frantic desire to have peace the
people of Northern Italy and the
forces which still were we'll gar
risioned would make it difficult
for the Nazis to take strong grip
of the area north of the Po River.
Lassitude, hunger and an oriental
fatalism frustrated our expecta-
tions.
Badoglio himself was aware OF
the frame OF mind of the popula-
tion and the armed forces. He
told the Allied generals whom he
met before signing the armistice
that some Of his best divisions
would defend Rome and added.
"They are the best we have but
whether they will fight or not Is
anybody's guess"
Years of hunger and privation
have undermined and dampened
the fiery revolutionary spirit of
the Italian people to point
where they are no longer capable
OF doing anything for themselves.
Many of our psychological war
farers are concerned over the
Italian situation. They fear that
the same causes which have taken
all fight out of the italian people
may come to bear in the case of
the people of other subjected ma
tions on whom we must rely to
help us defeat the Nazis by hit
ting them in the back.

pounds, but that the frost injury
may cut this to about 4,50O,00O
