| NEVER did give much i'm
Il portance TO the document
called the Resolution of the
PreSidium OF the Executive
Committee OF the Communist
International" This was broad
cast last May and ballyhooed
the world over and accepted by
most of the world as an act
diSSolving the so-called Comm
tern. which is RuSSia's Fifth
Column in other countries, in
Guiding ours.
Any government which was
capable of maintaining such an
organization in the first place
would not hesitate 10 practice
a small deception in its own in
terests, and intelligent and wary
people cannot be expected 10
believe anything il says or rely
on any OF its promises.
The Communist faith is so
treacherous and immoral that
no act which 10 normal and
decent human beings is wrong
is forbidden a Communist if II
serves his political beliefs and
aims.
Anything that serves COM
munism is right and good, and
that is the only moral test that
a Communist knows.
To him II is not wrong 10
commit wrong. but il is griev-
ouSly wrong 10 refuse 10 do so
II the interests OF communism
seem TO require such commits
sion.
He is exactly like the Nazi
and the Fascist in this respect
and the fact that he is at odds
with the Fascist and Nazi and
for this reason is killing large
numbers OF Nazis, should not
confuse our judgment.
COME of our statesmen and
- our people go in fear that
If we recognize these truths
and keep them 10 the fore by
discussion, Joseph Stain will
be hurt in his feelings and
moved TO decisions harmful
10 us.
This is An absurd proposition
and more uncomplimentary 10
Stain than anything that could
be said about the known duplic-
tiles Of his Communists in our
midst. for IL assumes that he
is a man who would make i'm
portant decisions petulantly
when the fact is that RuSsia's
interests are his only guide in
all decisions.
He would neither take any

THE future course of the kingdom of Italy
remains uncertain. II cannot be foretold
whether the government of the king and
Marshal Badoglio will be permanent, or that
it will even survive the present crisis. This
government has announced that Italy will 60
on with the war, although it is manifest that
large elements of the Italian people want
peace.
The relations between Italy and Germany
undoubtedly have changed for Mussolini was
overthrown on the very point of his sub
servience to Htlers demand and TO the
defense strategy of the German army.
Nevertheless, the new Italian government
has not broken with the Axis, and Italy has
not been swung away from attachment TO our
enemies, nor into cooperation with the Allied
nations in pushing this war to conclusion.
For military reasons it would be most
desirable if Italy would become militant or
semimilitant member of the Allied nations.
Italian interests were sacrificed by Musso-
lini's alliance with Germany Italy's political,
as well as cultural, history place her with the
western countries of Europe. and her future
prospects depend upon friendship and CO.
operation with them.
If NOW the Italian government and people
i should see a great light, denounce their
place in the Axis. bravely defy the punitive
power of Germany TO retaliate, and give the
Allied nations cooperation in the Mediter-
ranean and in the Balkans, the victorious end
Of the war would be brought much closer
1t is apparent that the king and Marshal
Badoglio are searching for the mechanism, by
which they can arrive at peace with the
United States and Great Britain and they are
naturally solicitous to know the terms upon
which this may be accomplished.
1t looks like an opportunity for Allied
craftsmanship, but craftsmanship can only
act through what is called diplomacy and
diplomacy means discussion the statement of
conditions, the promise of concessions, in
other words what is described as negotiated
peace; and against a negotiated peace there
stands the Casabanca formula of "uncon-
ditional surrender"
vUE KNOW that unconditional surrender of
w nation can only be brought about by
military force successfully applied The
Allied nations are prepared TO apply that
force TO the utmost limits of violence and at
whatever cost 10 ourselves. We have con-
fdence that our military forces can eventually
lay our enemies PROSTATE. But any possible
armistice agreement that affords military
advantage should be weighed. and if it
promises to give us added strength might be
accepted
For nation in the present condition nf
Italy how is the term unconditional sur
render 10 be applied?
The term is military one and as il

international relations, between one warning
nation and another, is novel, and has not been
defined.
Let us look first at its meaning and It's
history as used by one commander of an
army to the commander of another. Modern
war began in the period when the influence
of chvalry was still strong and feudal
courtesies between knightly groups still had
their place. Fighting was sometimes bloody,
but generally inconcusive, and when one
army had the worst of It, or when a be-
leaguered city or fortress felt the strong
pressure of siege what was called "parleying"
was likely TO begin.
MILITARY history is full of negotiated
lVl surrenders. Sometimes an army was
allowed to march out from a beleaguered
situation with so-called "honors of war"
Officers, and sometimes troops, were allowed
TO retain their arms and their battle flags.
Sometimes they were granted freedom on
parole Of honor" and sometimes they were
even permitted to march vigorously away and
seek repose before another battle.
Unconditional surrender refuses all such
terms and calls for an outright captuiation.
The term originated with Cen Ulysses s.
Grant in 1862. He was then rising but still
inconspcuous Union general in the West In
February 1862, by operations that revealed
his military ability, and after determined
fighting. he shut up in Fort Donelson the
Confederate army of Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner. Buckner addressed Grant asking
for armstce, so that terms of captulation
might be agreed upon, and Grant Immediately
replied;
INT do
can be accepted. | propose to move mmedi-
ately upon your works"
The acceptance of this demand, disclosed
Grants soldiery frmness. II laid the basis
for his rapid rise TO popularity, To supreme
command and to undying fame. Ulysses S.
Grant became, in popular phrase "Uncon-
ditional Surrender Grant"
: GRANTS term then became standard for
~ dealing with defeated enemy force, and
war of the present day pays little heed 10 the
old chivalric courteses between combatants.
AS a military term it will have Importance in
the battle issues of this World War.
OF course, in military capitulaton the
surrendering force knows that, in modern
warfare, in spite of its frightfulness, they will
be treated. under unconditional surrender as
prisoners of war and have the status and
rights of prisoners OF war
They will not be put 10 the sword Their
ranks will not be decimated by executions.
They will not merely have food decent com.
fort, medical attention, but they will he
treated with such consideration as will not
rob them of their soldierly self-respect even
though they be captives.
We know, then. full well what uncon-
ditonal surrender means as military term
but what does it mean when demanded by
