deprivations in store for us to
brook.
Then when they do come upon
us, these deprivations, they appear
easier to cope with than we had
expected them to be.
Doubtless you, who have given
your dear ones to the armed forces,
can well understand how these
stages of perspective have forti-
fled you by such a preparation.
Accordingly, you can realize how
these stages should fortify all of
our people who now are being de-
prived in lesser degree, because
of the increases in, rationing.
Indeed much has been said and
written about rationing. First it
was the rationing of petroleum,
which took salient position on the
radio and in the press. Now comes
the dissertations on the rationing
of certain types of edibles; and
these dissertations give us the
preScience that further curtail-
ments will be put upon us.
From all such discussions it is
interesting to follow the reactions
every new restriction creates. AS
desire is thWarted, because of
this increase in curtailmentS, hos
tile or fearful inclinationS often
inspire boarding before the fac
tual date of rationing is set. Then
comes the stage of giving-up the
struggle, wherein kind of reSig-
nation takes place. And lastly
comes the acceptance to any
method which will hasten a vic
tory in this war. Or to put it
somewhat differently, continuous
and added restrictions, which war
ofrceS upon us, gradually change
our perspective until our desires
become so tractable that they no
longer oppose any required sacri-
flee.
These stages, which most of us
experience, are much like those of
youth, middle age and the adj
Vanced years.
A young person is irked when
some illness keeps him confined
and away from the whirl of life.
Also he is unable to comprehend
how his grandfather can be con-
tent as an observer, not parti-
cipator, of all the activities about
him. And when this youth is able
to indulge himself with all the
rich pastries and meats he pleaSeS,
he ponders how the same grand
father, who must stay on a strict
diet, can make a satisfactory meal
solely on vegetables.
Then he reaches the stage of
middle age, when he is gradually
lessening his speed of living, and
when to be indisposed no longer
is hardship, but rather happy
respite from the activities which
are becoming oppressive to him.
At last he finds himself in the
stage of declining years when,
like his grandfather before him,
he is more than content to be the
observer and pleased to let 9TH
ers carry on in his stead. In addi-
ton, he has come to realize what
he previously thought of as de-
privations appear to be no depri-
vationS at all. For now that meat
is denied him, vegetable diet
seems far more preferable than
all the rich foods he considered
delectable in his youth.
Obviously this elderly mans de-
sires become altered in accordance
to the change of his perspective
like the the desires of those who
have reached the stage of accept
ing any method, which will has
ten a victory in this war.
Thus this change of perspective
prepares us all to be content with
what we previously deemed a mis-
fortune.

in the interests of humanity to pursue these
threatening Ethiopian tribesmen the border
into their own land and TO establish prOtectOrate
over Ethiopia in order that sweet peace may
prevail throughout the world?
Not Mussolini. There is no personal publicity
in that course.
Then what does he do?
First he gets himself balcony on big
public square, and there he summons all the Fas
csti that crowd into the square.
And then he selects day which is fine and
clear, and good for photographers
And then he gets out on the balcony all
dressed up in his new store clothes.
And then he swelIs up his chest one hundred
per cent, and sticks out his chin as far as il will
go. and crates and declams and gesticulates. and
rends the atmosphere, and thrills the pOpulace,
and defies the world.
Thousands of cameras click so loudly that YOU
can hardly hear what he is talking about, but you
do gather that he is defying the world
The Fascist. not being allowed any chns. do
not stick them out-and not being allow ed any
chests, do not swell their chests up: but they do
salute like mao, ON pain of castor Oil-and they
do shout wildly, and march furiOusly up and down,
and get in the news reels.
NEXT morning the world reads the speech and
~ sees the pictures, and wonders what IT is
being defed about.
But il does not have to wonder long
On another good Photographic day. MussOlni
gets himself another balcony and another suit of
store clothes. and he sticks out the same chin
only little farther-and he swells up the same
chest just little more, and to the accompanying
click of myriad understanding like the COM
bined castanets Of all the Asturias-he tells the
world that Italy is mighty nation and has a
destiny.
And that to fulfill its destiny il must expand.
And that the best expanding place that he
can think of at the moment is Ethiopia.
And that Ethiopia is convenient to SOmallland
and Eritrea. where Italy has already expanded;
and that Ethiopia has timber and minerals and
lots of things which Italy needs.
And that the Philippians are lot of unarmed
punks anyhow.
And that Italy has great army and great
navy and great air force and great leader
modestv fOrbids his mentioning the name-and
that Ethiopia will he a cinch for Italy
Thus decaims MussOlini, fearlessy facing
barrage of cameras.
And thus, declares Musson, can Italy fulfil
her magnificent destiny with no particular trouble
except the slaughter of a few thousand negligible
Philippians.

Estimate of Mussolini by W. r. Hearst

And then the surviving Philippians, when
taught the salute of the ancient Romans, will
make good soldiers in Italy's wars of conquest in
Europe.
There is more destiny to be fulfilled in Austria
later and maybe in JugOslavia, toO while we
advance on Ethiopia, intimates MussOln we will
keep one foot on Austria and one hand on JugO-
slavia-merely as a precaution.
So Mussolini tells the world.
THE next day the world reads the speech and
says with gasp of wide-eyed surprise and
tremOr of dismay:
why the darned fool is telling the truth.
We have got to do something about this. He is
destroying all the traditions"
But Mussolini keeps on telling the world, and
getting on the first page for matter of SIX
months or more.
So the world has lots and lots of time to
decide just what it is going TO do about the
re-estabIishment of the Roman Empire in Africa,
and Europe.
Then MussOllni masses his million men, and
assemblies his fighting ships, and starts on his
expedition to Ethiopia.
Whereupon England sticks hatpn in the
most intelligent part of the League of Nations,
and wakes that sOmnOent BODY from its trance.
Then France, which owns the League of
Nations tells it TO do its stuff and also specifies
what stuff TO do and what not TO dO,-partcularly
what NOT TO do
Then the League emits few harmless sane
tons and rolls over and goes to sleep again.
Then England moves her mighty feet into the
Mediterranean, and France agrees to stand with
England against Italy if England will agree to
stand with France against Germany.
A Nd so the basis of another world war is laid.
"a And so too MussOlini begins to learn that the
fulfllment of ItalyS destiny is not going to be
quite the picnic he had imagined
Obstacles arise
England declares impresSyely that war is
crime against civilization.
So she proceeds to arm the Philippians
England also decides that the conquest of
Ethiopia, poor harmless savage nation is unjust
and immOral-and that anyhow she saw Ethiopia
first, and that the of the Blue Nile are in
Ethiopia, and that Ethiopia is adjacent to Egypt,
an English protectOrate, and that in the interests
OF human progress and human ethics and human
rights-implied in the Magma Charta (whenever
necessary she must interfere TO prevent the con-
summation of so great a wrong.
That is as far as world events have gotten
today.
But tet not worry. Everything will come
out all right in the end.
When peace is finally declared. we will open
our morning paper one day and read that England
possesses One-half of Ethiopia and that Italy pos
sesses the other half,-the worse half.
Then Mussolini. in brand new suit Of store
clothes and from brand new set of balconies
and to a brand new generation of camera men,
will swell up his chest and stick out his chin, and
tell the world that Italys new and greater destiny
lies in the direction of Austria and JugOsavia and
that the half of Ethiopia that Italy did not get
was the hell hole of creation anyhow.

RED ARMY CLOSES IN
 ON COMEL

MOSCOW, Nov. l7.-Red Army troops closed in on Gomel, the last German base east of the Dnieper, in a furious assault to add the city to the impressive list of conquests of the 1943 of- fensive.
 The Russians have pushed beyond both north and south of the city, and broadened the wedge below Rechitsa, the inn portant rail center, 150 miles east of the old Polish frontier.
 The Russian push through the Ukraine meanwhile, though slowed down particularly in the Zhitomir and Fastov sectors, con tinued to edge toward the Kor- osten rail junction, controlling the traffic of the Leningrad, Odessa, Kiev and Warsaw rail- ways.
 The Berlin radio stated that 25 Russian divisions and large tank forces of perhaps 100000 men in all, were attacking with strong artillery support on both sides of the Smolensh- Orsha highway to the frozen north.

WALCREN DEGREES TACTICS

WASHINGTON, ov. IT, (AP)-Senator Walgren, dem., from Washington, said the hear ingS would start soon on the sen- ate fisheries subcommittee bill, to extend Alaska fishing grounds to the international border be- tween Russia and the United States, and at the same time, promises fight against govern ment bureau and departments writing legislation and asking congress to pass it.
 The bill would extend Ameri- can jurisdiction to fishing grounds formerly used by Japan, and lays down rules to conserve Alaskan fisheries, and tthe same time, permitting greater use of fish as food.
 Walgren said the Department of Interior had not made a re- port on the bill, which was intro. duced last March, and under stands the department is rewrit- ing it to suit its own ideas.
 "I, with others, oppose the practice of government depart ments writing legislation, asking congress to enact their ideas into law, he added.
