that the German high command
must try to prevent Naples, the
best port on the Tyrrhenian Sea,
from falling into the hands of the
Allies.
But 1t is hardly likely that the
Germans believe that even their
present determined resistance can
prevent eventual capture of the
port.
1t is true that we are suffering
heavy losses in the Naples
Salerno battle in which the Nazis
are showing much greater
fighting spirit than in Tunisia
or Sicily. But our reservoir of
manpower is such that even
major setback would not seriously
interfere with our war plans.
According to most recent re-
ports, the Germans now are
moving troops from the Po Valley
to the south. This is interpreted
to mean that Marshal Rommel,
who is reported in supreme COM
mand in Italy, means to fight
our forces step by step in the
push northward.
Hitler Needs a Victory.
One of the most plausible in
terpretations of Rommers plan is
that Hitler, who has not had a
victory since the fall of Crete,
wants to do his utmost to make
the Allied advance to the Nazis'
major line of defense north of
the Pc such a bloody and costly
affair that he could describe ii
as an important German victory.
Another Interpretation revolves
around the fact the allegiance
of the Axis satellites in Southern
and Western Europe has become
somewhat doubtful since the de-
feats in North Africa and Sicily
and the continuous withdrawal of
the German forces on the Rus
sian front.
The people of Greece, Yugo-
slavia, Hungary and Rumania,
possibly holding exaggerated
hopes of being freed of the Nazi
yoke soon, have shown a much
stronger defiance recently.
The Allied victories since last
November have made deep i'm
preston on these nations. The
fall of Sicily and the surrender
of Italy, their closest neighbor,
has had strong effect on their
morale. While they have been
more or less accustomed to the

military successes and even vic
tories in recent days. But unless
there is something that I do not
know and cannot see, our politi-
cal conduct of the italian situa-
ton Is a fiasco.
The Nazis apparently have
rescued Mussolini from a Medi-
terranean Island, which could be
much more easily reached by the
Anglo-American fleets than by
German speedboats. We un-
doubtedly have overwhelming
air superiority, and it certainly
was more difficult for German
parachutists to land and abduct
him, under the eyes Of the Cara
binieri guarding him, than it
would have been for us.
1t should have been clear from
the beginning that Hitler would

the publication of Badoglio's
capitulation, the German radio
announced the formation of an
italian Fascist government on
German soil, "in the name of
Benito Mussolini' - an explicit
implication that they would try
to rescue him.
Allies Fail To Act.
Then Hitler made a speech, ex-
culpating Mussolini and de-
nouncing Badoglio and the House
OF Savoy. A great public discus
sion was under way concerning
the whereabouts of Mussolini, for
the ordinary man in the street
knew that there must be a con-
test between Hitler and the Allies
over his person.
But we did not act. Why not?
Did we believe it did not matter?
Did we believe that we had time?
Did we believe that a handful of
carabinieri of doubtful loyalties
would be sufficient security?
If our authorities believed that
what happened to Mussolini was
not important, then our trouble
lies just where have suspected
namely, in a total lack of human
imagination on the part of the
men directing our destinies.
First of all, Mussolini is the
epltome of Fascist legality.
Premier and Duce for % years, if
there is any established Fascist
legitimacy, he is it.
Secondly, there is myth about
Mussollnl "a popular myth -
namely, that he leads a charmed
life. This myth of the charmed
life is associated with the myth
OF the charmed life of Fascism
itself. According to this myth,

The only other possibility is
dark horse" and dark horses, while
much discussed in advance, SO
seldom get anywhere in national
conventions as not to be taken very
seriously. Dark horses" just do not
develop. The point being made
about the Messrs. Willkie and
Dewey is that the nomination of
either would take foreign policy
out of the campaign as an issue.
And it should be out. There is now
no essential difference between
the Messrs. Willkie and Dewey and
Mr.. Roosevelt in the matter of post
war national cooperation and Brit
ish-American relations.
The nomination of either would
permit the campaign to be fought
wholly on the administration con-
duct of domestic affairs. Thus,
whether the war is over or not, it
would be clear to our Allies and
the world that change in admin
istration would mean no change in
American foreign policy either in
the prosecution of the war or the
making and preservation of the
peace.
Ideal Situation.
This would be the ideal situation.
1t would rob the election of any
damaging repercussions abroad. It
largely would take out the don't
swap horses" and stand by the
Commander in Chief" appeals with
which the campaign threatens to be
cluttered up and reduce it to the
simple issue of whether or not the
country wants 16 years of Mr.. Roose-
velt and the New Deal.
However, there is at this moment
considerable difference between the
political positions of Mr.. Willkie
and Mr.. Dewey. The first is an
open candidate; the latter, if he is
a candidate at all, is anything but
open. In fact, he has declared that
he will not be candidate, will not
connive in draft" and intends
to serve out his full term as Gov
ernor. His friends insist that he
means this and certainly he has
done nothing inconsistent with this
stand. Nevertheless, this does not
prevent most politicians in both
parties from looking upon him as
likely to be nominated. For one
thing, they contend his sincerity in
not conniving in a draft" move
ment is the method best calculated
to bring about what may be the
only honest draft" in our political
history.
Certainly, If the convention gets
into a state, after a number of
ballots, where it is clear that neither
Gov. Bricker nor Mr.. Willkie can
be nominated, the logical thing will
be to turn toward Gov. Dewey
rather than toward Gov. Saltenstall,
Gov. Stassen, Gov. Warren or any

no matter what dangers and dis
asters 1t encounters, it always
wins in the end, Hitler has lived
on this myth for years.
Hitler Uses Fascists.
Now what is our situation?
Italy is in the position of Yugo-
slavia. The regular army is dis
armed and used only as man
power for labor battalions by the
Germans. The Fascist militia is
being recreated in the bulk of
Italy held by the Germans to
police the country and fight on
the side of the Nazis.
Against these a guerrilla war
fare is beginning, mostly in the
industrial north, that is to say
by workers.
But there is one great differ
ence between Italy and Yugo-
slavia. Yugoslavia is an ally,
with clear hope of positive gains
from our victory. And Italy is
nation which has uncondition-
ally surrendered to us.
Out of this situation arises an
insoluble contradiction We have
demanded two incompatible
things: incompatible in human
psychology. We have demanded
that Italy admit complete defeat
and that she then might fight on
our side. In other words, we in
slst that we are Italy's enemies.
but they must be our allies. If
any one can explain that to a
Rome taxi driver, I'd like to hear
the argument.
Must Act Quickly.
What is our side-in Italy? We
have to try to see things through
the eyes of the italian people
and not through our own, if we
want to get anywhere with them.
as we obviously do. Our side in
Italy is Marshal Badoglio and
the House of Savoy. Neither
can possibly be rallying points
for an anti-Fascist spirit. For the
average Italian they belong to the
same clique that brought Fascism
into power, entered the war, lost
1t, capitulated, and was unable
to prevent Italy from becoming
a battle-ground. The average
Italian therefore, now that the
war RACES around him, has to
choose between a defeated Fas-
clsm and an undefeated Fascism,
l submit that we can hope for
nothing from that alternative.
We could have offered, and per-
haps we still can offer, third
choice. We could offer the Italians
living, vital, undefeated, tri-
umphant democracy, out to ex-
tirpate the enemies of the people
open or yelled, throughout
Europe and erect on the ashes
OF Fascism's defeat new Europe,
with liberty and justice for all.
We could have sent to Italy the
day that Mussolini fell the ac-
knoWledged leader of anti-Fas-
cist, democratic, renascent Ital-
ians, Count Carlo Sforza. Instead
we send them a mediocre Amer
lean politician named Poletti.
Something has got to be done
and done Immediately in answer
to the rescue of Mussolini. There
is not time for the research"
people to research. The President
must use what he has got and
had ON ice for a long time: Po-
litlcal imagination and a revolu-
tionary spirit.

before Italy surrendered. The Army
spokesmen on manpower have not
made too good an impression on
Capitol Hill precisely because of
such contradictory attitudes.
There is doubtless available man
power for industry and available
manpower for the draft, but, due to
mlshandling of the selective process,
we evidently have reached one of
those same bottlenecks of maldis-
tribution which long characterized
the situation with respect to raw
materials. An overall plan becomes
essential for manpower just as it
became essential for the control of
the flow of raw materials.

This Changing ,WorId-

seesaw battles on the Russian
front, the victories of the Allies
in the Mediterranean have i'm
pressed them greatly. Under
ground and guerrilla resistance
has increased in the conquered
territories. ...
In order to show these people
that the Germans still can do
better than hold their own
against the Anglo Americans and
to discourage wholesale uprisings
and "betrayals," the Germans
had to put up a stern fight
against the. invading Allied
forces.
A third Interpretation is that
the Nazi high command intends
to impress the people of the
United States and show them
what an invasion across the
Channel will cost in human lives.
In the Salerno area, not more
than 100000 men are involved on
both sides and the invading and
defending forces have suffered
heavy losses.
Want Negotiated Peace.
There Is no question that Ber-
lin would more than welcome a
negotiated peace. If the people in
this country could be shown how
difficult and costly an invasion of
the European mainland can be,
the German government may be- :.
lieve that they can be induced to
listen more sympathetically to
peace offers.
The German people always
have been good fighters, but tre-
mendously poor psychologists.
The diplomatic history of the
Reich lists a long series of psy-
Geological blunders. The Hitler
regime has been particularly
lacking in understanding of the
American and British mentality.
Hitler had Europe in the hollow
of his hand after Munich. He
could have run away with the
show since the appeasement gov
ernment of Prime Minister
Chamberlain had lulled the Brit
ish people into the idea that Eu-
rope was not worth fighting for
and the dog g-eat-dog" govern
ment of France would never have
dared risk war against the
Germ n-Italian combination,
which appeared unbeatable.
Yet Hitler preferred to precipi-
tate the war because he could not
believe that the British would
fight after Europe was brought to
her knees and that the people of
the United States eventually
would go to war against the pow
erful German italian Japanese
Axis.
1t is not improbable that Hitler,
with his back against the wall
and the Nazi regime tottering,
should imagine that temporary
setbacks and heavy losses would
change the frame of mind of the
people of the United States.
This psychological factor may
have played an important role in
the decision of the Nazi general
staff to give battle to the Allies
as soon as they set foot in an
area where they could be tackled
with fair chance of success.
