Writer Says Nozis Plan
No Fight in South Italy

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 6.-Germany
has no large troop contingents in
Southern Italy and will not try to
make a major stand in Calabria, the
Berlin correspondent of Stockholm's
Tidningen reported yesterday. 4
He corroborated previous indica-
tions that the Nazi military chief
tains were delaying employment Of
their full defensive strength until
the pattern of the Allied invasion
became clearer.
Until the main forces meet in
battle the Germans will use an
elastic Defense" a Nazi military

yer Speech Friday night. For one
thing, though he has no official posi-
ton, his experience and background
qualify him to speak; for another
his views are eminently practical
and easily understood.
They are more than that-they
emphasize the vital Importance OF
agreement now, before the war is
over, among the Allies on workable
program. Unless this is done it seem.
clear that chaos will ensue.
With great charity and force
Mr.. Hoover urges that there shall
not be this time the usual arrnis-
tice or the usual general peace
conference, to which 40 nations
will send 1000 delegates eager to
crate and greedy to grab.
Proposes Four Steps.
&. Instead he proposes four steps
first, an agreement before the
firing ceases of all the United
Nations that a few leading ma
tions be appointed trustees or
joint managers of peace; second,
that the terms of simple provi-
sional peace be agreed on now
which the managers or trustees
shall impose on belligerent Eu-
rope the moment firing ceases
and later on Asia; third, that
there be a transition period from
war to peace of few years in
which the world can cool off and
have time for deliberate solution
of the long-view problems of
lasting peace; fourth, that after
the foundations of real peace
have been laid some sort of world
institution or league be created to
replace the managers or trustees
and preserve the peace.
Eleven very clear and cogent rea-
sons to support his four steps are
given by Mr.. Hoover. To few OF
these can exception be taken. Con-
corning two, no question can be
raised. One is that there is an in.
stinctive fear that negotiation by
our officials of the gigantic long.
view questions during the wal
would disrupt the unity of the
United Nations. Hence the escapist
policy of Victory first, discuss
peace afterward."
In consequence Of this policy
aside from a few very general aims
and platitudes, victorious nations ir
the past have come to the peace
table wholly unprepared for the i'm.
mense problems they must meet.

The procedure raises the ques-
tion of just what the admins
tration considers to be the func-
tion of the press. and of free
speech in general.
Duty to People.
Apparently the administration
thinks the function of the loyal
press is to popularize and ex-
plain the administration to the
widest audience, to be, as it were,
a public relations counsel be-
tween the administration and the
public. But this is not the func-
ton of a vital free press in a
democracy. It's function is
through intelligence, independ-
ence. and intellectual integrity to
throw light upon current events;
to report them and to interpret
them, as the servant of the peo-
pie as a whole, and not of any
group, class or party.
1t is impossible for a govern
ment to be the judge and critic
of its own policies. The judge is
the people. But how can the
people deliberate without access
to facts and without an inde-
pendent forum of debate?
The object of free speech is
to influence policy. 1t is not
a pyrotechnic that exists for
itself; it is a political vehicle.
The equivalent of the Hip
pocratic oath. for the respon-
sible journalist, is his pledge to
himself to try to learn the
truth, interpret events accur-
ately, criticize effectively, and
recommend wisely. He must be
ready at all times to correct mis-
statements of fact. But he can
not be asked to correct misstate-
ments of opinion, for opinion
can rarely be answered with yes
or no, true or untrue.
No Reason to Apologize.
Looking back over the past 10
years, I see no reason why those
journalists who have chiefly
concerned themselves with
foreign affairs should apologize
to the American people. BY and
large they have a better record
for accurate observation and
even for prescient prophesy than
have the foreign Offices.
There is a reason for this. AS
the journalist in his own country
is more closely connected with
the people than the highest Of
ficials, so the correspondent in
foreign countries is much closer
to the people of those countries
than are the diplomats. He is
not using up his time in proto-
coils; he does not confine his
social contacts largely to the
best" people. He is not living
in the gold fish bowl of repre-
senting a power" He is, there
fore, much more sensitive to
what is going ON underneath or
outside of the established pat
tern and can oftener foresee
events before they happen.
So. if the journalists most con-
cerned with foreign affairs,
many of whom have lived half
their lives as active reporters
and students of European coun-
tries, are apprehensive that
there is a deepening interna-
tional political crisis, it is no
answer to imply that they
should mind their own business.
Studying and interpreting events
happens to be their business.

1t is safe to speculate that last
weeks conversations between
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill at the White
House dealt principally with the
Russian problem. The many
rumors that a non-Nazi govern
ment may approach Russia with

completely because the attacks Of
the official Soviet press are SO
unjust that they must arouse the
suspicious of the American and
British observers.

But 1t is not possible If we start
by planting new seeds of discord,
as was the case in 1918.
Well-informed sources say
this American Government
would not hesitate to give its
associates all the necessary
guarantees that 1t will not
tolerate aggression in the future.
They are confident that the
American people, who are being
bled white economically and are
likely to lose many of their
sons in the war, will approve
any kind Of guarantee against
aggression, provided peace is
based on fair play.
If the Soviet government
wants new territories to
strengthen its strategic frontiers,
it need not worry. Strategic
frontiers have not helped any of
the aggrieved nations in the past
and are not likely to help in the
future.
Hence, this government prob
ably will stand by its principles
and insist that the smaller ma
tions be given the same chance
Of freedom as the big powers.
Such insistence will be made

NY. School Girls
Run Vice Ring;
Three Men Held

NEW YORK, April 3. - (UP)-.
Existence of a vice ring composed
of schooI-age girls VINO catered TO
middle-aged men was disclosed to-
day when Josephine Tec2ra, IT, al
legged leader of the ring, was ar
raigned and held in $4,000 bail on a
compulsory prostitution charge.
Three men were arraigned and
held on rape charges.
The ring, which police said evi-
IDENTIFY had been operating more
than a year on the lower East Side,
was discovered after school teach
ers became suspicious on seeing
young girl students with bills OF
large denominations.
Six 14-year-old girls were placed
in the custody of the Children S
Society, and police said they would
pick up probably 20 others about
the same age and expected to ar
rest large number of men on rape
charges.
Assistant District Attorney Joseph
Caputa said the 17-year-old girl
evidently had conceived the idea
of the ring herself and usually took

Sweater Dispute
Ends in Factory

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. April 8.
CUP)-The two-months-old sweater
girl controversy at the Chance
Vought division of United Aircraft
corporation came to an end today,
with the signing of a union-man-
agement agreement that not once
mentioned the word sweaters but
which a company spokesman said
granted a slight, temporary con-
ceSsion TO the girls on the produc-
ton line.
In essence. the agreement stpu-
lated the company would make a
survey of all jobs requiring safety
clothing, would purchase suitable
two-piece garments in two styles
and colors for those particular jobs,
and that on all other jobs employ
es will be permitted to dress in ac-
cordance with established regula-
tions."
1t was the companys rule against
sweaters that caused So girls to
be sent home two months ago. A
score of others joined them and
started a dispute that dragged
through endless conferences and
finally was referred to the U. S.
Cancellation Service at Washington,
after the girls threatened to take
the issue straight to Mrs. Roosevelt.
