CRoCE INDICTs THE HUN
(Hartford Courant)

The fears expressed by signor
Benedetto Croce, one Of the worlds
greatest living philosophers and
cultural historians, that the Nazi
vandals would probably plumber
Italy Of her priceless heritage, the
cultural and art treasures OF CEN
turtles, are now uphappily being
realized to the full. Crosse whose
name Is a byword in the world OF
philosophy and art history, until
the Allies came virtually q self
imposed exile on the island OF
Capri, has from the outset con-
sistently opposed Mussolini Fascism
and Machiavelli reyivalism.
Liberated and removed from the
danger Of Nagi captivity by the adj
vancing United Nations armies
when they took Sorrento and Capri,
Signor Croce, In an interview ac-
corded to New York Times Cor
respondent Herbert L. Matthews,
unequivocally denounced the bar
barian invaders who ARE selling
what they can, including art OBJ
jects, and destroying what they
cannot take with them" He de-
clared: italian art treasures belong
to the world, and 1t will be the
worlds loss II they are destroyed.
The Germans have nothing In any
sense comparable worth while to be
destroyed. They never had a true
culture-nothing but a worship OF
force and strength" The one ex-
ception he makes is Goethe.
How well grounded are Bene-
detto Crcce's fears may be seen
from the latest reports to the effect
that the Nazis in Rome and else
where are Systematically looting
art galleries, libraries and museums,
tearing down pictures from walls
and selling precious manuscripts
and whatever else in the way OF
art treasures and cultural archives
they can steal before being driven
out of Italy. Trainload after train
load of these world-famous art
objects plundered from the Renais-
sance cities of the north, from
Naples and from Rome itself, has
already crossed the Alps on its way
to the lairs of the Goths and Van
dals. Thus history, indeed, repeats
itself.

Views Of The Press

has not forgotten the defeat Of 1904
the presumption that her Far East
ern bases will be available to the
United States once her European
enemy Is beaten.
For the charges Of Senator Brew
ster that more civilian trucks had
been sent to Australia than pro-
vlded for this coupntry, the Pres
ident had not suppositions but facts.
Something over 10000 trucks were
delivered to Australia, while $780,
600 were distributed here. II would
be interesting to have Senator
Brewster explain Just where he got
information so wide OF the mark as
that he presented to the Senate.
Senator Lodge raised a question Of
opinion, but his colleague merely
handed out scrambled facts that
could have been checked II he had
made the effort.

Germany Denies

The German denial that a separate
peace with Russia is in the making Is
familiar to all writer's who have had
occasion to skirt close to actionable libel.
One doesn't say that so-and-so is a GRIM
inal. One says that so-and-so, or his
FRIENDS, deny that he is criminal
Thereby the public is informed, indirectly,
that there is a suspicion that so-and-so
Is no better than he might be.
The Nazi denial, of course, is designed
to create suspicion between Russia and
her associates, by making Britain and the
United States wonder whether there
might be something to the rumor that is
denied. 1t is not particularly skillful.
which makes it on a par with much OF
Goebbels' other propaganda.

To realize how bureaucratic govern

Not so long ago when our fine steam
ships were travelling back and forth
carrying Americans bound for a season
of pleasure in sightseeing no Journey
was complete without seeing Tussaud's
wax-works in the famous London Mu-
scum. That was one of the musts OF the
trip. John Tussaud died this week at
the age of II years. He was the director
of the Museum and the greatgrandson
of the founder, the famous Madame
Tussaud. Mr.. Tussaud was a sculptor
himself and had lively interest in the
waX-works that have been on view to the
public for 178 years.

And earth resounds with bitter anguished cries
Our children from their play look up and sing
In the shadow. Aviator

For us who trust that miracle of grace
Your flight inspires our courage now TO face
Our foes, knowing we can our challenge fling

Your valor now assures the power and might
To give nightmares of war glad Weakening

alton. 1t is too big fact to be
wholly grasped; it is news almost
too good to be true" That the
Creator and Ruler of the universe
has condescended to make a clear
revelation of Himself to humanity is
more important than all the wars
and discoveries that this old earth
ever has experienced.
Let us pause right here and do a
bit of personal thinking. If Jesus
really came to earth as the express
sion Of Gods character and as the
final fulfilment of the law, then ev-
erything is different. Mans cropping
spirit has something to tie to. Life i

Resolve themselves into simple ohc-

His likeness. The good news that
burst through the heavens at the

important fact in the universe and
the all-important fact in every
body's daily living.
Familiarity has dulled the edge
Of the sublime meaning of the in
carnation for many of us. AS we
go our thoughtless ways, we deem
