AGAIN JAP TREACHERY

The United States government accuses
the Toxic government of another breach
of honor in deliberately delaying the ex-
patriation of 10000 Americans. The ac-
cusation cites violation of the Geneva
convention which is supposed to bind all
nations to certain rules of war. EXpatrl-
alton of nationals is clearly defined IN
the Geneva pact. But that means moth
ing to Japan. Her sense of honor is not
violated by a mere violation of this kind
as it has not been injured by mistreat-
ment of prisoners of war.
To my mind the war in the Pacific IS
primarily a naval and air war, and until
such time as the Allied nations get land
bases for their aviation to hit Japan prop
er we won't get any final or decisive ac
tion.-Marine Brig-Gen. Lewis K. Woods.
We are opposed to internationalism
in all Of its forms. We've got to keep
free not only from Germany and Japan
but from the British Empire and the So
Wet Union as well.-William J. Grace of
the Republican Revival Committee
Sweden started rearming much too
late but our defense has grown so strong
that an invader would meet very eff
cient resistance. We would even be able
to take the offensive.-Maj.-G Gen. Helge
Jung of the Swedish army.

This Changing World

Little Is known by the public in the
United States and Britain about the
events which preceded the Allied IN
vasion Of italy, except that our invasion
coincided with the arrest Of Mussolini
and the appointment Of Field Marshall
Badoglio as prime minister. Both were
done on orders from King Victor En-
manuel.
Usually well informed diplomatic
quarters maintain that the removal of
Mussolini and the decision Of the new
Italian government to side with the
Allies, and particularly to surrender the
feet, was predicated on Prime Minister
Churchill's promise that the House OF
Savoy would be maintained on the
throne
It appears that no definite pledges
have been given to the present King
that he or his son would reign. But
1t was generally believed that If King
Victor had to go because of his long
association with the Fascists and his
patronage of Mussolini. Prince Umberto
would succeed him.
II x*
Within few weeks after the invasion
Of Italy and the formation of a CO.
belligerent government at Bari, the
Moscow conference took place. The
text Of the agreement among the
foreign secretaries of the United States,
Britain and the USSR provides among
other things that 'the Italian govern
rnent must be made more democratic

where, however exhilarating an effect
OF motion they may create. He who
makes debaters' points now would sing
ditties at funeral The bell has rung,
it is time for all of us to put our toys
away.
The game has been fun, and I have
played it, too, as who has not? Yet
though fun is fun, the time has come
to quit. We need men like Charles E.
Wilson. the industrialist who recently
warned us against flying apart inter-
nally. to speak to us, and then to speak
again. We need Americans like Walter
Lippmann and Dorothy Thompson and
Thomas Lamont and Russell Leffingwell
and Senator Glass to make the speeches
and statements of their lives.
For the meaningful division in Amer
lean life today is not between those who
favor Congress and those who favor
the President. but between those who
enjoy that fight and those who de-
plore it.
There is the true battle line, there
Is the only field upon which a significant
internal victory can be Won But in the
fight between the President and Con-
gress, nothing can possibly be won,
everything must be lost
And 1t is political madness to engage
in fights in which nothing can be won,
even II one wins. There is large con-
servative interest in this country, and

those sections Of the Italian people who
have always opposed Fascism."
This has lent itself to wide inter.
probation. In the opinion Of the Soviet
government, for instance, none Of the
people at present In italy, with the
possible exception Of some underground
men" affiliated with the Third Inter-
rationale and known only to 4 few
people In Moscow, had actually opposed
Fascism.
The Allies consequently are con.
fronted with a serious problem. On
the one hand. Britain is said to have
committed itself to maintain the Savoy
dynasty; on the other, the Moscow
government frowned on maintaining
the old order in italy and desired clean
sweep and a complete break with the
past.
The position of the State Department
Is, as usual, neutral" But some of
the Americans who are In q position
to observe things in Italy personally
believe that the Italian people ought
to be seriously consulted before any
change Is made.
In order that the Allies may avoid
arriving In Rome without a definite
idea as to who would be installed in
the Royal Palace, where Field Marshal
Albert Kesselring now has his general
headquarters, the solution of having q
boy king under the control of a liberal
regency is being considered as q likely
compromise

New Crisis in Arqentino

The latest coup of the reac-
tionary Army officers group in
Argentina is a mixture of audacity
and trickery. Only last week they
assumed veiled authority when they
forced the resignation of Foreign
Minister Gilbert and reduced Presi-
dent Ramirez to position of undig-
nifled impotence. Yesterday, in
the early morning hours, this
usurpation was carried to it's logical
conclusion by the elevation of Gen
eral Edelmiro Farrell to the execu-
tive power.
An attempt has been made to
clothe this second palace revolu-
ton" with quasi-respectability by
making it appear that President
Ramirez merely delegated his ex-
ecutive powers to the Vice President.
In his first press conference yester-
day morning, General Farrell jaun-
tlly announced that nothing has
happened' except that Ramirez,
overburdened by the cares of office,
was indisposed and had temporarily
delegated the conduct of govern
ment to his colleague, just as Presi-
dent Ortiz did to Vice President
Castillo for nearly two years before
1ll-health became so hopeless that
he formally resigned. This gives
color to the claim that there has
been no ca" !7Ge of regime, and hence
no question of fresh recognition by
foreign governments.
The fallacy in this argument is
that General Farrell is not a duly
elected Vice President but is a mere
appolntee Of the revolutionary re-
gime which deposed Castillo by
military coup and has been ruling
unconstitutionally ever since. That
revolution was made by several
factions, the most reactionary of
which was the one which insisted
on giving the vice presidency to
General Farrell. He is their man,
and his elevation to the executive
headship signifies the monopoly of
power by an element notorious for
its pro-Axis leanings and its hostil-
ity to the United States and Pan
American cooperation with the
cause Of the United Nations.
1t is therefore no wonder that
Acting Secretary of State Stettinius
declared that the information avail
able to the department on the new
turn of events in Argentina gave
ground for concern" and may raise
questions affecting the security of
the hemisphere It would not be
surprising if our Government, after
consultation with other Latin Amer
lcan nations, should boycott the
Farrell regime automatically, as
was done with the revolutionary
regime recently established in Bo-
livia, refusing to accept the legalistic
subterfuge adopted in Buenos Aires.
Mr.. Stettinius implicitly criticized
the doings in Argentina by extolling
Chile's current action in rounding
up numerous Axis agents there and
stamping out their espionage activ-
tiles. The junta of reactionary army
officers behind General Farrell is
skating on very thin diplomatic ice.
