A Timely Conference

ETROIT is fortunate to be host today the fftieh
- annual convention of the international Association of
Chiefs of Police 1t is highly important conference and
will be addressed by of the worlds most eminent
law enforcement experts.
Out of it should come sound suggestions for the i'm
of community conduct in these distorted times
Out of it should shrewd advice toward the solution
of these problems that inevitably harrass war-tom
society
Racial disturbances unquestionably will be discussed
SO will the vexing and grave topic of juvenile delinquency
The rise of juvenile delinquency is critical matter
in Detroit and that thus far the has not been
competently attacked
We should welcome the opinion of the International
Chiefs of Police to the extent such waywardness is
abetted by the practice here of permitting minors
to frequent saloons.
We wonder how the police chiefs would diagnose
the policy of State Liquor Control Commission which
orders liquor dispenser out of business for selling to
intoxicated adult but imposes only token suspension
of five days to amusement outfits convicted of fragrant
sales of liquor to juveniles.
1t would be fitting and timely the convention
TO express its collective judgment the proper handling
Of saloon keepers who sell liquor TO juveniles.
This newspaper believes their licenses should be re-
voked permanently.

THERE is a principle, applicable to an
armistice that should make its terms
severe. i suppose we owe this idea to the
Italian political philosopher of the sixteenth
century, Niccolo Machiavelli.
The principle is this: Treat your fallen
enemy with all necessary harshness while he
is down, and while ANY terms seem better
than prolongation of agony But, in your
final treatment of him, mitigate the initial
severity.
Give back to him what you safely re-
turn. Make his final lot somewhat softer
than his expectations This will give him
contentment, and assure you that he will re-
main peaceful.
Translated into language that FITS the i'm
mediate situation this principle dictates that:
the armistice terms with Italy should be even
harder than the eventual terms Of peace. II is
desirable that if Italy is restored to a position
in the family of nations, the Italian people
should feel that peace benefits them; that
they have come off better than they expected,
better than appeared probable from the de-
mands made upon them TO cease hostiities.
AIOW we have not always done this. In the
IN armstice terms granted to Spain in the
summer of 1898, the terms seemed harsh to
Spain. The vestiges of their once vast Ameri-
can empire were demanded of them. But the
future of the Philippines was left in uncer-
tainty.
Spain hoped that she might continue to
have the Philippine archipelago, and the
Spanish commissioners went to Paris. pre-
pared TO abandon all claims TO Cuba and
Puerto Rico, but instructed TO contend for
retaining those last pearls in the Spanish
diadem."
Then, Mckinley demanded that Spain re-
linquish the Philippines also. From consd-
erable personal knowledge of that situation,
and more than 10 years service in the Philip
pines, Immediately following the war, l am
convinced that Mckinley was right
Spain accepted this demand; she could do
nothing else but it was gall and wormwood
to the Spanish people. 1t was as salt rubbed
into their bleeding wounds. In other words,
the final terms Of peace were more severe
than the terms of the armistice, under which
Spain surrendered.
yITE HAVE another instance, doubtless more
w fresh in American memory. This is the
contrast between the armstce terms imposed
by Marshal Foch in November, 1918, and the
final terms Germany was compelled to sign,
by the treaty of Versailles.
This is not to say that the terms Of that
famous treaty were harder than they should
have been, but they were harder than the
Germans anticipated, and much harder than
the masterfully framed armistice terms under
which the Germans laid down their arms.
The Germans never forgot this. They
nursed their rage for 20 years, and then
overwhelmed the peaceful order OF Europe
again.

Arnistice Terms
BY MAJ. GEN. DAVID PRESCOTT BARROWS
Authority University Cafon

4 S THESE lines are written, the situation
"A in Italy remains undecided. General
Eisenhower, supreme Allied commander in
the Mediterranean, is endeavoring to effect
an armistice. An armstice is a military
engagement 1t is not treaty of peace. But
if it's terms are important and comprehensive,
and have the approval of the heads of gov
ernments, it may lead to peace.
An armistice is a suspension of hostilties.
Sometimes it is merely pause, for a minor
purpose, serviceable to both contending
armies like brief armistice for the succor of
wounded and the burial of dead. But armistice
in this present case of Italy must be directed
to a complete end of hostilities. 1t may be
preliminary to eventual terms Of peace.
Eisenhower as a general has been given
heavy responsibilities. As general, his duty
is to consider his troops, first Of all. He
must spare them further death in battle. No
officer has the right to throw away the lives
of his men, if the purpose of battle can be
secured otherwise Thus, the results of
granting An armistice have to be clearly fixed
in the mind Of a general, and these results
must amount to gains.
vXTE DO not know Esenhower's terms but
hensve and that, to the king and to the
marshal, they may seem very severe. First
and foremost, an armistice with Italy will be
fruitess, if it does not make it impossible for
Italy to resume hostilites against the Allies
But it would seem that there is much more
that Eisenhower must gain, or renew the
fight. There should be no question about the
Allied retention of Sicily for the wars dura-
ton. 1t is essential to control of the Medi-
terranean. Eisenhower must think also of
Sardinia and the French island of Corsica;
of the naval base at Taranto; of possible
German domination Of Italy.
He must think of even more: the Italian
troops in the Balkans and in Russia; and the
Italian islands of Rhodes and the Dodecanese,
which block our advance toward the Dar-
danelles and the Black Sea.
THERE is a report that the Italian govern
i ment feels that Eisenhower's terms are
hard. They should be hard, but think there
is no possibility of Eisenhower making them
more easy. If the German army cannot be
expelled from Italy by the Italians, he must
expel them.
To do this, southern Italy must become a
beachhead for the landing of our troops and
the concentration of great army. We must
have ample airdromes for our strategic air
force so that we can bomb the enemy. This
will bring retaliatory bombing against Italian
cities and countryside.
We cannot offer to the Italians immunity
from the effects of war, and it is manifest that
what the Italian population longs for, is
peace.
