The Great Game of Politics.

every one Of them sees the advantage
Of accord to his own country. New
ertheless, accord will not be easy.
For one thing, there is the diff
flculty of language All intercourse
has to be through interpreters which
is the hard way to achieve under
standings. For another thing, while
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill
know each other well, neither knows
Stain we'll We have never had an
Ambassador who had his confidence.
No Englishman and no American Is
on intimate terms with him.
Between the Russians and our
selves there are many points of diff
ference, many things on which we
do not see eye to eye. But, far apart
as we are, the best informed opinion
y that the cooperation Of Stain
can be secured and an effective
British American Russian postwar
alliance achieved. Moreover, 1t can
be done without being apologetic to
Stain.
Certainly, considering what we
have sent Russia, as revealed in Gen.
Marshall's report, there is no ex-
cuse for being apologetic. Distinctly.
1t is not necessary to "appease
Stain or to attempt to charm him.
The general conviction is that he is
an exceedingly practical man to
whom only practical arguments
seem good.
This being so, 1t is to be hoped
that before he goes into conference
Mr.. Roosevelt will either forget his
-four freedoms" or at least desist
from bringing them up. They will
not appeal to Stain. At least two
of them-freedom of expression and
freedom Of religion-do not exist in
his country.
The fact is that Mr.. Roosevelt's
Quebec declaration that he is "ever-
lastingly angry" with those who do
not take the -four freedoms" as an
inspired utterance has not helped
clarity national thought on the vital
subject of postwar planning-quite
the contrary.
There is nothing original or epo-
chal about the -four freedoms" :"
nothing to justify Mr.. Roosevelt lik-
ening himself to Moses and nothing
resembling a practical solution of
the great questions with which we
soon must grapple. The absurdity of
trying to force them on nations
including some of our Allies-who
do not want them is apparent.

outside world as the German
Wehrmacht is pushed back on
all fronts. 1t shows that the
Fuehrer's speech was checked
over by his general staff which
knows military history and is not
likely to make the same mistake
as Napoleon.
The French conqueror's fatal
error after the Russian campaign
was to stick to the territories he
had previously conquered and at
tempt to hold them under French
domination. Students OF military
history say that had he nquidated
his commitments in Spain, italy
and across the Rhine there might
have never been Waterloo.
He had SUFFICIENT strength to
resist the coalition and eventually
reach an agreement on his own
modified terms with those who
were fighting him.
But Napoleon was obstinate;
his field marshals and political
advisers had become yes men" to
maintain their positions. He lost
his perspective when things
ceased to go his own way and
ended his days as a prisoner at
st. Helena.
Little Care for Hitler.
From reports coming out of the
Reich 1t appears that the German
generals do not care particularly
whether Hitler ends his days
swinging from a lamp post or
appearing before a firing squad.
But from the strategic point of
view, they do not wish to repeat
Napoleon's errors.
Hence, they are believed to
/, have urged the Fuehrer who con-
tinues to be their liaison with the
people on the home front - to
warn them that some of the
occupied lands will have to be
yielded.
This does not apply to Russia
alone. Even the people of Ger
many know now that their armies
are beating hasty retreat on
the long Russian front. Naturally
they are accepting explanations
given them that the withdrawal
has become necessary to shorten
the lines and thus strengthen
German positions on other fronts
which soon may be threatened by
the Allies.
In military quarters here It Is
believed that the Germans intend

his cooperation.
No matter how firmly the indis-
pensable British American post
war alliance is cemented, the desira-
bility OF complete Russian accord is
very great. The time has about ar
rived when Mr.. Stain has got to be
talked to. In the interests of all, his
evasiveness must be overcome.
If he cannot, because of his pre-
occupation with the battle front,
leave Russia for conference. then
the conference will have to be held
there. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill have offered to 60 any
where at any time. But, somewhere
and soon, the meeting has to be held.
The British and ourselves have got
to know the Russian situation.
A conference Of foreign ministers
is good as a preliminary. And a
Mediterranean council on which
Russia will be represented is desira-
BILE, too. But neither takes the place
of a conference with Stain. Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill have
got to find out what is in Mr.. Stain s
mind, how far he will go with them,
how much he can be depended on.
Those things can only be ascer-
tained from Mr.. Stain personally
and directly.
Or II he won't confer and won't
! reveal his feelings, it is better to
find that out definitely now. If the
British and ourselves have got to
play the postwar hand alone it is
best to know that as soon as pos
sible. We do not want to have to do
1t, but it can be done.
However, the belief in Washington
Is that a conference is scheduled
Mr.. Roosevelt, in effect, has said so.
Mr.. Churchill has extended the in
vitation again and the stage seems
set. 1t will be the most important
conference of the war. 1t is not too
much to say that on It hinges the
future of the world.
If a formula for complete Ameri-
cam British Russian cooperation
after the war can be found, the
whole situation will be vastly i'm
proved and no problem need be
considered insoluble. On the other
hand, failure to find such a formula
will add to the burdens and the
perils of generations to come-in-
Guiding those OF Russia.

Stain are all aware OF this and that

court has no power to restrain the
OPA.
THE act also covers declaratory
judgments. The District Court is
subject to Congress. Congress can
withdraw or give the court jurisdic-
ton. In this case, it has withdrawn
jurisdiction. To my mind the trend
is bad. 1t is not in conformity with
the traditions of America"
Thus the citizen, in many in
stances, can no longer go to his Dis
trict Court but must go all the way
to Washington to the Emergency
Court of Appeals from which he may
or may not get review by the ST.
preme Court. This makes the judicial
process cumbersome and highly re-
stricted but doubtless the trainers of
the law knew that witnesses and
data could not be conveniently
brought to the National Capital from
all parts of the country for a trial
court proceeding. 1t virtually as
sures finality of decision by gov
ernmental bureaucrats scattered
throughout the country who, know
ing they are not likely to be re-
strained by the courts, do about as
they please.
Congress should either prescribe
legislative standards or require the
publication of administrative stand
ards so that capricious and arbitrary
decisions may no longer be made in
secret or without an explanation in
any public record.

The battle for Dorothy Thompson.
Italy will not be similar to the
battle for Sicily or for North
Africa. The Germans have seized
every strategic point they could
get-both north and south. They
can operate on inside lines and
Hitler has made 1t clear that he
intends to maintain large out
posts of the main defense line of
Germany itself in Italy.
We are therefore in for battle.
Terrible battle. Battle that should
put over the Third War Loan
in few days. Battle that should
keep every worker at his bench
and Ali the shortage in the air
craft factories with volunteers
from other pursuits. For the
Anglo American epoch of sweat,
blood and tears is just beginning
and the only way we can shorten
it is by an effort equal to its seri-
BUSINESS.
Political Front Is Weakest.
The first and greatest effort
will be made by our soldiers, and
paid in blood. The second must
be made by the home front. And
there is yet a third-the effort
that must be made on the po-
litical front. The Importance of
this front is evidently realized,
since Mr.. Churchill is still in
Washington. This is well, for so
far it has been the weakest front
in our war.
We have achieved something,
to be sure. The disintegration of
the top leadership in Italy was of
great Importance militarily. 1t
made easier the landing of our
troops; it gave us large por-
ton of the italian fleet; it broke
the last shred of the will to re-
sistance of the Italian soldiers.
But six weeks of the Badoglio
regime has not re- established the
will of italian soldiers and civil
ians to fight on our side. On the
contrary it has spread defeatism
amongst the masses.
Immediately after the downfall
of Mussolini, there were public
uprisings, demonstrations for our
side. We did not encourage them,
and gave Badolgio time to sup
press them. BY and large the
Germans have been able to dis
arm the Italians. Despite Ba-
doglio's order, in some places In
the Balkans, military leaders

have mutinied against him, and
are fighting with the Germans.
Now we are calling on the Ital-
ian people to join us. But for
what kind of WARP For what pur-
pose?
Cannot Revive War.
The italian national and i'm
perialist war has been lost. That
is why the armies Internationally
surrendered. That war cannot be
revived.
1t is humiliating for a people to
change sides in a war merely be-
cause the chances may appear to
lie better with the enemy. It is
particularly humiliating for the
Italian people. The charge has
continually been made against
them that they left their allies
in the last war when they
switched, before actually fighting,
from the Triple Entente to the
Alliance.
We must not deceive ourselves
that the Italian people are pro-
British. pro-American or pro-
German. They are pro-Italian.
The democratization of Italy is
a pro-1talian war aim. The
italian national war, which has
been lost, can be changed into a
revolutionary war, which can be
won-for Italy, for Europe and
for the world.
But it cannot be led. directed
or won, by the losers of the ma
tional war and the allies Of
Fascism. The war that the
italian people can wage, with us
at their side, is a social war. BY
the nature of circumstances, 1t
is an anti-Hitler war, made OBJ
vious for the Italian people by
the fact that he is reinstating
the fascists and has even set up a
government in the name of Ben
ito Mussolini. The greatest
danger that confronts us is that,
failing democratic, revolution
ery program, the masses OF the
Italian people will be indifferent
to which side wins, seeing the war
only as a struggle between great
powers with Italy as battle
field.
Desire for Freedom Lives.
The enemies of the Italian
people, for epochs, have been the
great estate owners, the monop-
olistic plutocracy of the industrial
centers, the military imperialist
clique, and the throne which kept
them together. These are the
people who put Mussolini into
power, and the italian people
know it. even If we don't.
The desire for freedom is not
dead in the Italian people, as the
spontaneous events that followed
the fall of Mrssolini proved. The
revived democratic parties have
published their program. It was
they who brought pressure on
Badoglio to surrender, when he
was playing on both sides simul-
taneously.
Their program, which Is Italian,
and not Anglo-American, can be
made the basis of a new war of
hberation-to oust the Fascists,
all Fascists, Italian and German,
from Italian soil

tions OF the country in the near
future. A withdrawal from por-

ly Indicated.
The Allied feet in the Mediter-
ranean has Its hands free and
doubtless will attempt to attack
the Greek coasts. Under the pro-
lection Of that powerful navy,
backed by overwhelming air su-
periority a successful landing In
Greece is considered possible
operation this year even if Crete,
which is strongly defended. has
to be bypassed.
The Nazis may be planning to
evacuate the Greek ports and for
that matter the major part of the
peninsula, establishing their prin-
cipal lines Of defense in the
mountains Of the north. Hitler
indicated that the Balkan CAM
paign had been undertaken In
= 1941 principally because Of Italy.
Actual resistance of the Nazi
armies may begin only in the less
accessible and easily defended
mountains.
May Not Hold Rome Long.
Military observers here believe
that the Nazis do not intend to
hold Rome for a long time. There
are only about four German divi-
sions south of Rome and they are
fighting the Allied invasion force
merely to give the Nazis north of
the Po River time to clean up the
political situation, break the pas
sive resistance of the Italian peo-
pie In the area and firmly estab-
lish their II divisions.
Thus, it is probable that the
German high command will with
draw its forces whenever conven-
lent from the most exposed and
least important outposts of the
European fortress and mass them
in those vital points which in fact
are defending the homeland.
They will concentrate strong
forces in France, in the Lowlands
and In Denmark in the west on
a much reduced line extending
from the Baltic to the Carpathian
Mountains in the east and on a
line extending approximately
from the upper tip of Yugoslavia
to the Balkan Mountains in the
south.
The 800 odd divisions Germany
is believed to have under arms
will be ample for a long defensive
war should the political maneu-
vers Of the German military in
regard to Russia fail this year.
OF course, the Allied air force
which is expected to renew its
large scale bombardments of
Germany soon is going to cause
severe damage to the Nazi pro-
duction.
But according to all available
estimates the dispersion of the
vital factories-many Of which
are underground-will er1uDse the
Nazis to continue for long time
a stubborn resistance after they
have drastically shortened their
commitments.
Although Hitler's speech was
uninspiring he has given the Al
lied military men an excellent
inkling of what the German high
command intends to do.
