Interpreting
The War
BY ELTON C. FAY

-
Associated Press War Analyst
The Italians have ignored, with
Few exceptions, the plea OF Allied
leaders to implement the military
campaign in Italy with sabotage
and guerrilla warfare behind the
German lines.
Perhaps part Of the answer il to
be found in the words OF Assis-
tant Secretary Of War John j.
McCloy-'war and fascism have
left them with a general atrophy
If spirit"
McCloy spoke yesterday on the.
broad subject OF the operations
of Allied military government in
Italy and of the economic situa-
ton there. He did not refer to the
matter Of active resistance, but
his description Of the dull and
apathetic appearance Of the peo-
pie" in the liberated southern part
Of Italy does much to exlain why
the Allies now do not count on any
help from the population.
Before Anglo-American force
set foot on the European main
land in southern Italy last Septem-
ker President Roosevelt and Prime
Mister Churchill broadcast
plea to all the peoples Of Axis
dominated lands to strike at their
eonquerors with whatever means
they had at hand-by sabotage, by
ambush.
The first proving ground for that
Allied plan was Italy. There the
plan, in general, has failed. There
have been some demonstration in
the northern industrial cities of
Italy such as those reported yes
terday in Milan, some reports OF
individual or small group oppo-
sition, but nothing to indicate any
popular or coordinated program.
This is not to say that the idea
won't work in the other Axis-held
countries-nor that it will.
There are extenuating circum-
stances in the case of the Italians.
not the least of which is the fact
that the Italians have been ex-
posed to the blight of Fascist-Nazi
RECOMMENDATION longer than any 9TH
er people-including the Germans.
The general atrophy of spirit"
mad more than 20 years in which
to develop under Benito Mussoli-
nj.
The difference is to be seen in
some of the Nations subjected to
Axis control only since the start
of the European war.
Yugoslavia fights. There the
opposition has progressed from
the simple stage OF blowing up
bridges to creating an organized
army which battles Germany's
Wehrmacht.
Norway has waged bitter and
unrelentig subsurface war since the
Nazis flooded into the country in,
1910. From Denmark come freq
uent reports of factories wrecked
and shipyards damaged. !
Nor does the murderous grip.
that Germany holds on the people.
OF France, Belgium, and Holland.
prevent them from striking. Stor-.
les coming out from behind the
veil hanging over those nations tell
CT wrecked trains and assassina-..
ton of Quislings, Gestapo men.
and German army officers. 2
And then there is the historic
case of Lidice--the Czechoslovak-
ian village RACED and its inhabi-
tants massacred or imprisoned at
ter 'rHangman'' Heydrich, the
German, was slain-to show that
there, too, the Allies may have
some reason for expecting coop
Grafton from the populace.

Credit Unions


port to the national directors that
credit unions had licked their war
time problems and were facing their
greatest period of opportunity for
service. Mr.. Bergengren stressed,
however, the fact that credit unions
are rendering great wartime service
by helping war workers with their
crucial financial problems, by helping
war workers save their extra income
instead of pouring it into the infla-
tionary stream, and by selling and
buying with their own funds millions
of dollars worth of war bonds.

the injuries were only trivial, yet 9th
ers wer very severe-two such acct
dents to children resulted in their
deaths. The injuries were caused by
ordinary accidents, negligence and
lack of supervision and lack of know
how to do the job. Yaeger said most
employers of young workers do pro-
vide a reasonable amount of training
and supervision for the inexperienced
young worker, as well as establishing
reasonable working hours comparable
to the child's physical and mental
ability, however some employers do
exploit the children and actually work
them under sweat shop conditions. He
said those sweat shop conditions can
not be corrected under existing labor
laws since there is no law providing
for coverage. Two of our most inn
portant, broad-coverage child labor
laws were enacted in 1903 and 1907,
the other one concerning the serving
of beers, liquors or wines to custom
ers at retail was enacted in 1941 In
addition the Division of Labor has the
problem of proper enforcement of ex
listing laws because of lack of suffi
cient funds and personnel
In the event an employer might be
covered by both federal and state
child labor laws, that law establishing
the higher standard will apply In
