UTICA-For two years and

each other without success.
When one earned fur

important work that prevented
him returning home. Several
times they missed seeing each
other by scant few days.
They practically gave up
hopes when one, r y m n d

the paratroopers, and the other,
Gerald Weier, went to France
with the infantry.
On Sept. II, Gerald was sight

Between Allies

Proises Leaders

LONDON, Sept. 30 - up -
Sir Edward Grigg, a Conserva-
tive, resuming the House of
Commons war and peace debate
opened yesterday by Prime
Minister Churchill, declared to-
day there never had been n
war in which allied armies in
the field had worked so close
ly together with so little fric-
ton considering the immense
difficulties involved"
Praising Churchill and PreSi-
dent Roosevelt for an "eXtraor-
binary combination of allied
land, air and sea forces, he
added:
Il do not believe there are
any fighting men superior TO the
men of the British common
wealth and the United States.
Certainly the Germans with
their long professional record
as a military nation have pro-
duced nothing superior to what
we have improvised in four or
five years"
Grigg suggested that Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden SO TO
Moscow in the near future 20
discuss the Polish question -
the paramount immediate prob
lem Of Europe"
Britain stood firmly for a
strong and independent Poland
but should not forget the fight
ing capacity of the Russians
and that Poland would be
German territory forever if ii
were not for them," he said.

Kinq Climbs Down q Little

The crafty little King of Italy is playing a losing game, but slyly.
he Is climbing down IS slowly as possible. He announces that ION the
Gay on Whlch Allied troops enter Rome" he will Withdraw from public
affairs" by appointing Prince Eumbert lieutenant general of the
realm. Three amendments should be required:
Victor should be forced to get out today. He should be obliged to
iopplsh son, Humbert, who like the King is ex-FascBt, but to the
6-year-oid Prince OF Naples. to be held nominally until Italy can freely
decide whether to keep the monarchy.
The King, Humber. and Badogio with them should be out at once
not only because their presence in power, under Allied protection,
suules the Allies, but because it beclouds the project of achieving broad
ly representative government in Italy. Such government is essential
for thu growth of Italian democracy and for the ranying of Italians to
a falr-slzed war against Nazisn and Fascsm.
Why does Victor spar for time? Clearly because, although recog-
nlzlng that he can't save the throne for himself, he hopes that, by re-
treating as slowly IS the Allies permit, he stands a better chance of
saving it for his family and the clique of Italian proroyalst explouers
striving to keep the people down. Rome, in point of time. is off in the
vague distance. Victor doubtless hopes that, in Rome, sufficient rein
torcement can be had to keep a crown Humberts head.
The Kings retreat results from the fact that the tide is running
strongly againt all that he and his party of ex-Fasciss and other rcac-
1onarles stand for. Thus it is a good omen as far as it goes. But, since
only the fiat of the Allies keeps Victor & Co. in power, the tide can
and should be speeded by Allied announcement to those decadent
schemers that they're fnished-The Chicago Sun.

Southern Primaries Open
to Negroes

On Monday, April g., the Supreme Court rendered a decision which
historians may regard al momentous IS the bred Scott decision handed
down by Chief Justice fancy before the Civil War. Both decisions
affected the Negro.
Nine years ago the court decided that laws in Southern states
which permitted the Democratic party to bar Negroes from it's primaries,
were not unconstitutional. On that occasion, the court was unanimous
and apparently the issue wa disposed of for all time.
But recently it came before the court again and, as in the previous
case, 1t involved the Democratic primary practices in Texas. This time,

CT kentucky-the court held the Texas law was unconstitutional saving:
Under our Constitution, the great privilege of choosing his rulers

1t IS significant that every Southerner the bench supported
Justice Reed. The one-nan dissent wa written by Justice Roberts,
a Pennsylvania Republican.
His principal objection was that the court has been reversing itself
SO often IN recent years that even able lawyers can not with certainty
state IN law IN a given case. In other words, if the court made a blum
del, it should stick to il, rather than acknowledge it's mistake. Frankly
We cannot go along with that argument.
Judges are IS fallible as other human beings, and when they make
a blunder they, or their successors, should correct it.
AS for the majority decision: 1t makes it possible for Negroes, other
qualified, to enter Democratic primaries in all Southern states.
They already exercise that privilege in many Southern states. To what
they will now participate a only be determined by future
developments.
It white and Negroes both use reasonable restraint, there will be

I he UNITED Front" in ItaIy

since the SOVIET government is ready to make room for King
Emanuel Q lis son, and Marshal Badogio under the capacious umbrella
OF the United Front, there are, apparently, no major differences regard
ing italy between America, Britain, and Russia. 1t is remarkable, there
fore, 10Y tangled the situation has been allowed to become. The Medi-
teranean Advisory Commission has completely failed to function a a
clearing house for the views of the governments represented on it. This
fact first became evident WIN Moscow announced its intention of e-
changing diplomatic missions with the Badoglo regime The American
and British governments, although or terms of patronizing intimacy
with Badogio, took umbrage at this move and pointedly noted the lack
OF prior consultation. Eventually Izvestia, the official organ of the
hremim, explained that the proposed exchange of representatives was
merely an attempt to establish direct contact with the de facto Italian
government, akin to that enjoyed by the western Allies. But having
cleared up this misunderstanding, it went on to protest that Soviet views
en- the urgent necessity of broadening the Italian government had been
ignored. 1t appears that, on this question also, not only had the Medrer-
lanean Commission proved a broken reed but the normal means of
diplomatic communication had broken down.. Meanwhile an Italian
Communist leader, Palniero ToglaHi has arrived in Naples direct
from MOSCOW where he spent eighteen years in exile. This one-time
secretary OF the Comintern has announced a new line including accept
ance Of the King a an institution" until after the war and retention

AIRPLANE OUTPUT
NEW RECORD
Allies Production Now Five
Times That of Enemy; Only
One-FOurth of Losses

March was the best month in
American aviation history for the
production of fighting planes, gov
eminent officials recently revealed
For the first time output topped
the 5000 mark, the figure being
800, several hundred planes
ahead of schedule.
The record was regarded as re-
markable, because heavy bombers
and fighting planes, requiring more
material and labor, made up the
bulk of the output.
The figures were significant in
the light of a report by army forces
that last year our fighters destroy
ed 11,042 enemy planes while los
ing only 1888 of their own. Des-
truction of enemy planes during
the last six months was declared
to be twice as large as in the first

SOCIALIST NOW LARGEST
PARTY in SWITZERLAND

In accordance with the Swiss
constitution, new elections for the
national council of Switzerland
have been held upon the expiration
of four years term of office, the
International Federation of Trade
Unions reports, resulting in a clear
triumph for the Social Democrats.
The Socialists now form the largest
party and command nearly one
third of the seats, or Sc out of 1913,
as against as out of 1877 in the old
parliament. The Democrats have
been able to hold only three, which
is half of their former strength, the
Liberals (Freisinnige), hitherto the
largest party, losing three out of
their 40 seats.

port emphasizes. The best estimate
of German plane production in
l943 was between $500 and $4,000,
while American plants turned out
85,946. Since the start of the war
Great Britain has turned out over
10000 aircraft of all types, and
Canada has produced upwards of
10000.
In other words, while the Allies
have been turning out planes near
ly five times as fast as the enemy,
the latter has been losing them four
times as fast.
While Allied production has been
moving steadily upward, the re-
port said, heavy air attacks on air
plane factories have crippled Ger
man production.

The War Labor Board has finally agreed to hold hearings on the
lag between wages and prices.
This disparity between wages and prices, must be rectifed Sc that
they bear some sensible relationship to each other. Let us not forget,
as OPA Chief Bowles recently has testified, that not until II months
ago were prices effectively frozen. That means that for the first eleven
months that labor was under the Little Steel wage ceiling, prices kept
going up. 4

AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING
ABOUT THE SOVIET UNION
By RAYMOND HOFSES, Editor Reading Labor Adv

The NaZi soldiers are not the
only people on earth who are being
worried by the Russians. The dom
inant classes of America and Bri-
tain also are looking with a troub-
led eye at the great Soviet nation,
and anybody who doesn't know it
hasn't been listening to the radio
announcers very closely or reading
current news and editorial items
very thoughtfully.
There's an uncomfortable feeling
that the Soviets have been acting
too Independently. 1t became no.
ticeable a month or so ago when
Pravda, the newspaper that acts as
Joe Stains official mouthpiece,
made the startling announcement
that British and German diplomats
had been comforting on the matter
of a possible end of the a Pravda
later published what was conven-
iently interpreted as a %retraction,
but the uneasy feeling which the
original story caused still persists.
Since then there have been more
signs that the unity of the United
Nations-at least so far as Russia
is concerned - is not as strong and
enduring as n would hope.
The sudden recognition of the
Badoglio government in Italy hasn't
made the statesmen of the capitalist
nations any more certain of what
their totalitarian ally has in mind
as the ultimate objective of this
war.
And last week the news of a
clash between Russia and China,
coupled with a new f~ive-year Rus
sia-Japanese treaty, caused even
the Philadelphia Record to write
an editorial about 1.-THE New Low
in United Nations Unity"
And so it is that what may well
be feared is not that the Soviets
will break with their allies after
the war, but whether sometime be-
fore the war ends Britain and
America may not have the present
big job on their hands without the
benefit of Soviet arms.
