ITALY:
Political Unanin,ity

Liberated Italy's six anti-Fascist
parties were prepared to participate
in new government when King
Victor Emmanuel abided by his re-
ported decision of retiring as actual
ruler and designating his son, Prince
Hurnbert, as his lieutenant to repre-
sent his interests.
In settling this knotty problem Of
at least temporarily preserving the
institution of the monarchy while
still satisfying the demands of the
anti-F ascists that the king get out,
the kings advisors fell back on an
old precedent in Italian history.
Although the Communists who are
repeatedly vying for control of the
defense and police ministries in any
new Italian government, recently de-
clared their intention Of, cooperat-
ing with the king, other anti-Fascist
elements held fast to their conten-
ton that his removal was requisite
to the establishment of strong
democratic administration in the
state.

Flashy leaflets have told the Ger

in the complete demolition Of their

provide for evacuation of the civil
ian population from bombed areas.
Small newspapers dropped in
France have informed the people of

detectives in bombing Nazi targets
in the country, while similar publ
cations dumped over Holland have

SOUTH AMERICA:

South Americas huge accumula-

Because South American countries

U. S. department of commerce re-
ported they have built up cash
balance of over 2 billion dollars,
which will be available for foreign
trade when warning powers return
to civilian production.
In 1943, the department reported,
the U. S. bought 81, 800, 100000 worth
Of goods in South America, while
selling only approximately $500, 000,-

Both selective service and con-

Referring to the decision to only

Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey de-
clared that the same policy would
next be extended to the 26 to 20

over, although requirements would
be less strict in the latter cases.
In seeking to channel 4-Fs. into
necessary work, the house military

employment of AIS, who would face
