Army News Policy

The good letter from General
A. D. SurleS, director of War De-
partment public relations, to Presi-
dent Roy A. Roberts of the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper Editors,
should repair some of the damage
to public confidence resulting from
delayed release of bad news. Gen.
eral Surles is commercially frank in
his own admission of the dangers of
even temporary suppression of bad
news, but makes a good case for
leaving the decision in such mat
terS to the responsible theater COM
manders. Certainly the readiness to
criticize the Army for it's news policy
should be balanced by recognition
of the desperately realistic prob
lens facing the field commanders,
who must judge the effect of the
news not only on the enemy, but on
their own troops.
General Surles presents convinc-
ing reason for withholding news of
the Patton incident and the success
full German bombardment Of Allied
shipping in the harbor at Bari. His
explanation of the tragic shooting
down Of twenty-three American
planes by our own Navy relates
more specifically to the accident
itself than to the reason for with
holding the news. But his plea for
tolerance in Judging the decisions
of field commanders from the COM
Portable security of the United
States is well taken.
Some of the criticism over with
holding bad news from the Ameri-
can people would be overcome if an
explanation of the delay could ac-
company the release of the news
itself. When military considerations
permit such an explanation, it
would 60 far to maintain confidence
in the War Departments own zeal
Gus anxiety to give the people the
full news as soon as the safety of our
people and plans permits. General
Surles believes in this policy. One
thing that makes his own Job SO
difficult is to persuade others as to
It's wisdom. He is in the middle. All
things considered, he has done a
good job.

Says We Also Are to Blame.

To the Editor Of The star:
We are told that Germany knows that
she cannot win this war. Why, then,
must we continue and enforce the terms
Of unconditional surrender? Germany
has had years Of this terrible .conflict.
Her capital Is in ruins. She has reached
the point where her U-boats are no
longer great asset. Why must we
wait until she is utterly PROSTATE be-
fore seeking peace? Germany is still
large nation and must continue to
live. Needless to say, her bitterness,
which probably, in large part, caused
this war, will be even greater If she Is
reduced to impotency.
Yes. Ne are aware tnat Germany
started the war utter stale experience
of world War :, buf Fef0 NE WatctlfuI
to see that she would be honorable, IN
carrying out the terms Of the Versailles
treaty? Were we intelligent IN having;
an adequate defense for our Atiantics
and Pacific coasts, s1xeahle Army and
q large feet Of airships7 I think not.
Just as we at all times must have po-
lice force to fight crime in our cities, so
until the world has reached much
greater degree Of honor, we must MAIN
tain a reasonable defense.
Let us not believe for q moment that
Germany would have attempted to con-
quer Europe If she had felt that
America, Great Britain and France
were fully armed and ready for conflict.
Modern warfare Is too destructive. It
must not be considered as a means of
settlement when dissensions arise in the
future. There will be another way, If
we are watchful and work for 1t with
as much interest and effort as is mani
tested in winning this war and with q
spirit of tolerance toward the entire
world. CLARA BOYNTON HADLEY,

TunqIes in ItuIy

The rapid shift of Russia's at
titude tcwards Italy have not yet
been satisfactorily explained, though
theyesare undoubtedly connected
with the tangled political situation.
in that country. The present diplo-s
matte simbroglio began when Moscow
suddenly extended diplomatic recog-
milton to the government of Marshal
Badoglio which functions under the
titular authority of King Victor EN-
manuel as "co-belligerent" of the
United Nations. This action, taken
by Moscow without notifying its
American and British colleagues,
caused sensation in Washington
and London, neither of which had
gone SO far in their diplomatic atti-
tude. their policy being that the
Badoglio regime was provisional and
temporary in character, to be modi-
fed after the Allied capture of Rome,
the Italian capital. But even this
partial and tentative recognition
had reused the bitter protests of the
native liberal and radical groups,
including the Italian Communists.
These parties, coalesced in the So
called Committee of National Lib
Grafton, denounced the Badoglio
regime as reactionary, demanded
the abdication of King Victor En-
manuel, and urged that they be rec
ognized as the proper regime for
Italian redemption from Fascist and
Nazi domination.
Moscow's unheralded recognition
OF the abhorred Badoglio govern
ment fell like bombshell upon the
Liberation Committee and its sup
porters. The local Communists were
especially taken aback, for they
seem to have had no advance in
timation of Moscow's intention and
were thus momentarily at sea as to
what they should say or do. They
have apparently been set right by
the arrival in Italy of Palmiro Tog-
liatti. the veteran Communist leader
who, under the party pseudonym of
"Ercole," has spent the last Is years
In exile at Moscow and has been
prominent member of the Comm
tern.
1t did not take long for "Ercole"
to use his authority to good effect.
So the Italian Communist Party has
now come out with a new party
line" utterly at variance with it's
previous attitude With "Ercole" as
its spokesman, the party announces
its willingness to collaborate in a
"war government" headed by Mar
shal Badoglio. and further declares
that King Victor Emmanuel "is not
a person but an institution" which
should not be changed until after
the war, when "the entire nation"
will have the opportunity of consid-
ering its political orientation.
This agile about face SEEM
ingly conSolidates Badoglio's posi-
ton, with local Communist support
in harmony with Moscows approval.
What the other liberal and radical
parties of the Liberation Committee
will do remains to be seen. 1t is
rather difficult to see them falling
into line without wholly stultifying
themselves. The effect of all this
upon the population of Northern
italy, still under the rule of the
Germans and their puppet neo-Fas-
cist regime, is likewise unpredictable.
Meanwhile, the Anglo-American mil
itary authority is left in an anoma-

Letters to The Star
Critics Reproached for Asking
"Unwise" Explanation of Policy

Critics Reproached for Asking
"Unwise" Explanation of Policy
To the Editor of The Star:
When critics demand that our Gov
ernment be more specific in its declara-
tions of foreign policy, it is difficult to
know what they mean unless it is the
old plea for discussion in the market-
place. But who in his senses would
venture to demand this in the midst of
WARP
And what could be more specific or
satisfying than the repeated declara-
tions of sound principles and the main
objectives of the American people in
the conduct of the war as well as in
plans for world organization and re-
construction? Apart from the general
principles and pledges Of the Atlantic
Charter, which have been approved by
the United Nations and actually en-
bodied in certain of the lease-lend
compacts, we have these objectives, as
stated by Secretary Hull: >"
/. An International organization
backed by force to keep the peace.
2. Agencies for the settlement of in
ternational disputes
3. An international court of justice.
4. The reduction of armaments.
S. The surveillance of aggressor ma
tions by the United Nations.
6. The reduction of excessive trade
barriers.
7. Better exchange of international
currency and sound financial facilities.
8. The preparation of colonial peoples
for self-government and freedom.
This program would seem to be as
definite and satisfying a declaration of
policy as fairly can be expected in the
midst of a war involving most COM
plicated and dangerous factors. When
the critics asseverate that there is no
foreign policy" they probably mean that
it is not the kind of a policy they like.
To furnish detailed explanations of
any of these proposals would be unwise
because at this stage of the war we
cannot possibly know what is attain
able or even desirable. To provoke
general debate would only create
acrimonious disunity among ourselves
and with our allies. It seriously might
affect the outcome of the war and
wreck all hopes for the just and durable
peace for which we fight.

President of American Peace Society.

Game Surplus

LANSING, Feb. 22.-Accord-
ing to one satisfied hunter there
will be plenty of game and fish
for returning servicemen who
are looking forward to such
sport. He has written to the
conservation department that in
his section of Allegan county
pheasant hunting was good and
a big seed stock is left; rabbits,
squirrels and ducks are plentiful
and coon is exceptionally good,
he reports. He thinks minks are
about the same in number while
there seem to be more weasels
than usual and foxes are getting
thick. Possums, on the other
hand, seem TO be decreasing.
This sportsman is also salts
fled with the time of open sea-
sons and the regulations on
places game may be taken.
Only cloud on this sunny pic
ture is that his dog got killed.
