And then there's the Danish

only four first-place votes and
26 l2 points, compared TO the

this Cox vote is the boys had a

About The Italian Surrender

Having expressed the view that Italy is liability
and that might be the best strategy not to accept
unconditional surrender which would entail the job of
feeding 45,000000 Italians it is probably well to
ton arguments of the other side of the question in
volved.
Italy was the birthplace of modern Fascism Its
surrender would indicate the futility of Mussoini's
system and notice upon the world that Herism
is unable to protect it's friends The damage to Axis
morale would, doubt, be irreparable
Italy's surrender would be a confession of the
weakness of the Fascist government and cause the
withdrawal of Italian troops from the Balkans, thus
placing another strain upon Germany's exhausted
power It would have great effect in Hungary
Bulgaria and Rumania and open easy way into the
heart of the Balkan peninsula.
The task of feeding 45,0OO,OOO Italians would be
onerous but, after reflection, we must realize
that this job will have to be assumed, later
If it comes now, following surrender it will be no
greater strain than if it LATER after heavy fight
ing.
There is the possibility that the surrender of Italy
would give the United Nations sites for air bases with
which to spread the bombardment of Germany. This
would mean that Italian soil would be the of
fighting, perhaps the Germans would probably make
strenuous effort to prevent the allies from utilizing
Italian airports.

Did God Send The War?

A thought constantly expressed in public, in the
days of trbuatons is that God sent the present
to scourge mankind for it's sins.

theory. The answer is in the negative While the

Today there came to my desk q
mimeographed sheet from the Of
fee Of War Information. 1t was
headed ''The Nazi Slave Labor So
ciety."
AS read that title, my mind shot
back to very few days before this
writing, one of the days when your
capital was tense over the coal
strike from one end of Constitution
avenue to the other. and on both
sides Of the Potomac. l say Con-

sylvania" (Which you and l have
come to feel is the main street of
Washington because this coal strike
struck deep into lot of offices and
bureaus beside the White House at
one end Of this historic thoroughfare
and the Capitol at the other.
Naturally, Harold Ickes, in his Of
fees looking down the mall from
that strange modernistic pile that
is the new Interior building, was
concerned. He was, at that mo-
ment, responsible head of the soft
coal mining industry and the indus
try wasn't functioning.

TDo Worries
Over across the Potomac in that
marvellous architectural achieve
ment. the Pentagon building, where
the army is housed, officers paced
the floor of their pentagonal Offices.
They had two worries. One: Will
there be coal shortage that will
hold up production of important war
supplies? Two: viii we have to 60
out and push people around with
bayonets?
haven't mentioned what was 60
ing on at the Capitol or in the White
House. Plenty. Every enemy Of
the administration. every friend Of
the administration who was angry
at Lewis, everyone who was for 100
per cent prosecution of the war
and they weren't necessarily differ
ent people, but people with different
ideas-was yelling for Lewis eye
brows and some of them were
threatening the President if he didn't
bring them in ION silver charger)
for breakfast.
Inside the White House, there
were meetings which. because of the
presence and absence of certain per-

Russians Praise Their Allies

American newspaper correspondents in Moscow re-
port the most lavish and enthusiastic praise of the
United States ally and friend after the war
ends.
An unprecedented outpouring of editorials occurred
June 18th, the anniversary of the execution OF the
Russian American agreement.
The Soviet people advised that British
American Russian cooperation, "cemented in blood"
only would smash the Axis but lead the way to the
establishment of "just and protracted peace, during
which the nations of the world could live in atmos
phere "of creative labor for the good of humanity.

ion and they probably do there is reason to COM

was formed in 1885.
1t looked as if John of the eye
brows and Franklin of the amber
cigarette holder had something in
common. They did. 1t began by
being an ideal-a better deal for
the man who hadn't had such a
good deal before. Later, the issues
became more complicated but we
won't go into that now.
Anyhow, the Wagner act was

the poor, heretofore outsider, the
workman who couldn't qualify, to
join the snooty ALL, chance to be
somebody. If there were more of
his group than there were of the

his outfit was recognized as the col
lective bargaining unit
That was a real step forward in
economic democracy.
The CLIO thrived. 1t had the bless

its votes in return. It also gave the
largest campaign contribution in re-
