Volcanic Itoly

For months past virtually all first-
hand information from Italy, official
and unofficial alike, has depicted an
intensively darkening situation with
increasingly volcanic possibilities.
The approach Of winter compounds
the difficulties and renders speedy
remedial action the more impera-
tive.
ALI this is emphasized in the cur
rent report of Luigi Antonini, q
prominent official of the American
Federation of Labor. who returned
recently from italy. where he had
spent some time as q member of an
Anglo-American labor mission de-
signed to assist in rebuilding . dem

use Tito for his plans to keep Yugo-
slavia in the British sphere Of influ-
ence rather than the more recalci-
trant Serbs.
The British appear to have decided to
support King George Of Greece to re-
turn to his throne soon after the Hber-
alton Of his country.
In the meantime, however, the Rus
slams went into the Balkans
Soon after the surrender of Bulgaria
to Russia, Red Army units went far
ther south than was originally expected
and entered Eastern Greece. Marshal
Tito turned Unexpectedly to Russia,
abandoned his headquarters at Wis and
flew to Moscow. Then he returned
to the Red Army headquarters ut
Bucharest and the world was informed
that with his special permission the
Russian forces poised on the Danube
were crossing the river to liberate
Yugoslavia. The British became un-
easy.
Some of these matters had come up
before the Quebec meeting. Others
arose atterward but Mr.. Churchill had
some inkling of the shape of things
to come. He Is reliably reported to
have suggested to President Roosevelt
a third American British front in
Yugoslavia. But such an offensive was
considered by our military experts as a
political-military maneuver and we
have not sufficient forces to spare for
this type Of operation.
4
Faced with the problem of dealing
with the Balkans and the Eastern
Mediterranean alone, the British Prime
Minister decided to 60 to Moscow as
soon as such q trip was feasible. He
hoped President Roosevelt might be
able to arrange for another three-cor-
nered meeting such as the one at Te-
heran. But the President is not able
to undertake journey outside the
United States on the eve of his cleo
ton and Stain was opposed to leaving
Russia. He had already made great
concession last year when he went to
Teheran, but made 1t very clear then
that until the war is over he could not
possibly leave Russia again.
AS the Russian forces are advancing
rapidly in the Balkans and are now on
the way to Budapest and Vienna. the
British Prime Minister decided it would
be unwise to waste any more time and
made up his mind to call on Stain at
his own headquarters in the Kremlin,
without Mr.. Roosevelt.

much to criticize in the Democratic
platform adopted in July. He fought
for principle. Nevertheless, he had his
own personal ambitions. In the event
OF a Dewey defeat in November, Mr..

Mr.. Willkie was a crusader If he was

The RumeIy Pardon

In an editorial commenting on the
indictment last week of DR.. Ed
ward A. Rumely for refusing to sup
ply the House Campaign Expendi-
lures Committee with the names of
contributors to the Committee
for Constitutional Government, of
which he is executive secretary, The
Star stated that after the First
World War he was convicted and
served a prison term on charge of
violating the Trading With the
Enemy Act. That complaint grew
out OF the purchase by DR.. Rumely
of a New York newspaper before
this country went to war with Ger
many in 1917. The prosecution con-
tended that the German govern
ment supplied some of the funds for
the purchase, circumstance of
which DR.. Rumely denied knowl-
edge. He and two attorneys were
convicted, however, on conspiracy
charge based on a report of the
transaction which they made to the
Alien Property Custodian.
Later, after evidence not intro
duced at the trial had become avail
able, President Coolidge committed
their sentences, pardoned all three
men and restored their civil rights.
Mr.. Coolidge acted on a recon-
mendation by Harlan F. Stone,
then Attorney General and now
Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court, who expressed the belief
that the three men were innocent.
In a proceeding for the reinstate-
nent of the two attorneys to the
New York bar, Chief Justice Car
dozo of the New York Court of APP
peals, later an associate justice OF
the Supreme Court, also indicated
his belief that the men had been
unjustly convicted. Similar opinions
were expressed by other prominent
lawyers and jurists.

The strongest part of the German
force is in the vicinity of the so-called
Pannerdeutsch Canal, east of Nijmegen,
where there are two infantry divisions
and four Panzer divisions-but the four
Panzer divisions are estimated to have
only $50 tanks among them, about half
the strength OF q single American ar
nored divisions.
Farther south, between the forests of
the Reichswald and the Mas Canal
are two infantry divisions and one Panzer
brigade at full strength with 10 to so
tanks), and still farther south, opposite
the extreme right OF the British I'd Army
are three more infantry divisions Zap
parently not at full strength and o
Panzer brigade with about 20 tanks.
II we required any more evidence that
the Germans are parceling out their
fighting power with extreme care and
painful parsimony here it is. The very
discrepancies In tank strength tell US
that. The four Panzer divisions east Of
Mjmegen have been engaged in q series
OF vigorous counterattacks in an at-
tempt to blunt the British salient north
OF the Wall at this point, during which
they have sustained heavy losses, and
now the average divisional strength IL
hardly more than half that Of an Amer
lean tank battalion-yet It does not
seem that these losses have been re-
placed.

gades, one twice n strong rs the other.

Inside Greece

British troop landings on the
Greek mainland and their rapid
advance against slight German op-
position have opened another long
shattered window OF Hitler's For
tress Europe" permitting a clear
view into what lies behind. First
hand reports by American news
paper correspondents accompanying
the British expeditionary forces give
us accurate and colorful accounts of
conditions and prospects. The lib
Grated area is thus far confined to
the Peloponnesus, the rugged pen
insula which forms the southern
extension of Greece into the Medi-
terranean. Traditionally poor and
backward, the Peloponnesus per-
haps does not typify conditions
throughout Greece. Nevertheless,
this sample is probably not far
below the average.
The descriptions thus far penned
by our correspondents give tragic
picture and forecast serious prob
lens for the near future. The gen.
eral population, while not literally
starving, is devitalized by prolonged
hunger and uncared-for diseases,
especially malaria. However, this low
state of vitality has not inhibited
political passions, which are running
high. 1t should be remembered that
the modern Greeks, like their fore
bears Of antiquity, take their politics
violently and are prone to factional
strife. Prewar -quarrels have been
both complicated and intensified by
the years of Axis occupation. When
the Germans overran Greece, the
boldest spirits took to the inacces-
sible mountains and there formed
guerrilla bands under local leaders
OF varied character. This patriotic
movement was never unified, but
evolved into factions which came to
hate each other almost as much as
they did the Germans. The upshotS
was sporadic civil war going on
parallel to the war against the in
vaders, and Of course the general
population suffered from both. This
led certain elements to cooperate
partially with the Germans by form
ing security battalions" to maintain
order and prevent depredations by
rival patriot guerrillas, some of
which were little better than brig
and bands. This security" element
should be distinguished from the
much smaller group of outright COL
laborationists who went over entirely
to the German side and proflteered
therefrom.
However, the guerrillas apparently
consider all not actively with them
as quislings and want literally to
exterminate them and confiscate
their property. The British authori-
ties are having hard time prevent
Ing wholesale killings and lootings
which might be the prelude to a
ferocious civil war and general
chaos. This ominous situation in the
Peloponnesus will very likely be
duplicated in other parts of Greece;
and, for that matter, may be ex-
pected elsewhere In the Balkans as
they are liberated from German
domination. The outlook is thus a
dubious and troubled one.

German Troop Resources
By Maj. Geoyfe Fieidins Eliot

We have been getting a good deal of
information as to the character of the
German forces along their western
frontier during the past few weeks.
Front correspondents have told us of
the scarcity of good infantry; the few
reliable infantry battalions available are
being used over and over again for local
counterattacks. Quite as noticeable
seems to be the scarcity of armor; what
the Germans do have Is used in small
groups; rarely do we hear of more than
20 or 80 German tanks together in any
one operation.
Many of the German units facing our
men-especially in the Rhineland-are
training units, formed since the general
mobilization of July 20 and not yet equal
either in training or equipment to the
terrible demands Of modern battle.
They are fit only to defend fixed posi-
tions; they cannot maneuver
The German dependence, therefore, Is
on material rather than especially
on artillery, Of which they seem to have
massed great quantities to oppose us.
Whenever good weather gives our planes
chance at the German battery posi-
tions-both in direct attack and in
registration of our counterbattery fire
we are able to score notable advances.
All of which reinforces the view that
we have only to break through the
strongly established defensive crust"
which the Germans have constructed;
that once we can do this and get our
armored and motorized divisions loose

somber picture Of contemporary
Italy. Mass Unemployment, whole
sale prostitution, delinquency, hum.
ger and general hopelessness have
generated an atmosphere Of deep
despair and disillusionment. The
bright hopes raised by Anglo-Ameri-
can Intervention year ago have
been dissipated, SO that many Ttal-
ians are beginning to say that, from
the economic point Of view, they
were better OF before the Allied in
vasion. This has lessened their
hatred OF the Germans"
Mr.. Antonini explains this changed
attitude when he says: with indus
try at standstill and agriculture
and trade paralyzed, the Italian
people in the territory occupied by
the Allies live almost entirely on
money spent by American and Brit
ish soldiers. Imitation is rampant,
black markets flourish, and poverty
and misery are universal"
In this connection. it might be
added that the problem of Italy's
rehabilitation will be further inten-
sified when the Germans are driven
from Northern Italy and those
heavily industrialized regions are
added to our charge. The Germans
are reported to be deliberately strip
ping the north of everything worth
transporting and destroying the
rest. This will increase the likeli-
hood OF economic chaos which might
eventuate In furious revolutionary
upheaval communistic in character.
Mr.. Antonini reports that the Com
munists, under their powerful lead
err, Palmiro Togliatti, pursue a policy
of watchful waiting, knowing that,
unless there is a marked improve
ment very soon, the facts of the pic
ture will play into their hands" All
this shows the necessity of wise and
speedy action by the Allies If, as Mr..
Antonini warns, ITALY is not to
plunge from one dictatorship into
another"

The arrival of Prime Minister
Churchill and Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden In Moscow Is considered
In American and foreign diplomatic
quarters here rs Of greater Importance
than the two previous meetings be-
tween the British leader and Premier
Stain.
The visit Is said to have been de-
cided ut the Quebec meeting last
month when 1t became obvious that
nothing but heart-to-heart TEX be-
tween the British and Russian pre-
miers would straightens out number
Of political questions on which de-
ponds the future collaboration Of tire
big three.
It is an open secret that in recent
months a number OF problems In which
We are only indirectly concerned but
which have an important bearing on
the future have developed between
Great Britain and the USSR.
Official quarters which have fair
knowledge of what happened at Te-
heran say that in the political dis
cussiors among the big three which
preceded the military agreements, Rus
STA was given free hand in Eastern
Europe FINLAND and Poland and in
the Eastern Balkans. Britain insisted
that her interests in the Mediterranean
required her having unchallenged SUI
premacy in Greece, Yugoslavia and

The fact that London has been

and Yugoslav governments merely con-

the diplomats Of what occurred at Te-
heran. In fact, soon after the confer
ence was over, at the request of the

Here IL Her Advice.

Stay at home" We meet many dis
courasements; we get so homesick we
sometimes meet ourselves in the hall,
all packed up and ready to 60; we man.
age finances poorly and are broke soon
after payday. Were we at home, we
could have the counsel Of family and
friends. Parents should say a deter
mined and unwavering mo" when a
daughter asks to come here to work.
That Is, unless they have taught her to
take care of herself in all ways-and
especially when 1t comes to men. On
the Farms, 1t isn't uncommon to meet
girl who is ignorant in sex matters-
who actually wouldn't know If, when or
how she got into trouble. II these girls
who have not been taught at home come
here and get into fast, lax crowd, the
inevitable happens. Many Of us are too
young and inexperienced to have estab-
hshed within us philosophy of life and
and firm belief in God, and the strength
to live up to them. Too many Of us don't
care. it's true. But those of us who do
sometimes find ourselves more than
just little lonely, because we want
dates who are looking for compan-
ionship, understanding and sincere
friendship, as well as physical attrac-
ton. They aren't often seen on the
Farms-because We know, as do cab
drivers, what reputation our abode
has. But we do all we can, individually
and In groups, to combat such q record
and to keep it as decent place to live
in as we could hope for. We're very
grateful for the shelter the Government
has provided; when we grippe about our
conditions, it's just to keep up our
morale. Living on the Farms is an edu-
cation in itseh-an education in living.
But don't recommend this life to any
one who may be the least bit green.
Frankly, it's too dangerous. r. MIG.
