both unfair and dangerous.

Immediately
one of the oldest Of war
strategies is blockade, which
certainly hits civilians-women,
children. the aged and the in
capacitated - even more di-
rectly than air bombing does.
The fact that blackade kills and
mains slowly, by starvation,
rather than rapidly by bombs
should hardly affect the mill
tary or moral ethics of the
situation
MOST important Of all, the
vi critics of air warfare have
failed to grasp the strategy of
the procedure. They accept the
false assumption that the bomb

vengeance or arrival OF

bombing is a rigidly controlled
and planned operation for the
achievement Of specific military
purposes.
The critics also forget that

THESE DAYS
BY GEORGE Z. S0KOESKY

MAYBE Roosevelt and Church.
NA i'll had an inkling of Sta
Inns intention TO recognize
Badoglo but nothing in the
news Indicates II. Nor does 1t
make much of a difference
After all, the United States
and Great Britain set up Ba-
doglio-in spite of terrific pres
sures by leftists who have now
again been betrayed by their
living patron saint.
The difference is that the
United States and Great Britain
have been half-hearted. They
were willing TO work with Ba-
doglio, but unwilling TO pursue
the formalities. They have been
playing with the king. but not
according TO the rules of the
game. When Joe plays, he fol-
lows the rules.
And that's smart. If il is Ba-
doglio with whom we are to do
business. we might just as we'll
take him in as a partner.
CERTAINLY. Badoglio isn't
~ going TO be loyal to coun-
tries that work with him a little
and try to undermine him a lot.
In time the cooperation is
forgotten and the undermining
alone remains. There is no
gratitude for half-hearted friend
ship.
Uncle Joe quite clearly makes
up his mind without left wing
advice, assistance or confirna-
ton. He has apparently never

Of Italy as they know exactly
how TO manage the affairs of all
other countries. They stir up
anger at the thought that our
government might do something
that might dispicase Uucte Joe.
Then Joe does exactly what
we might have done in the first
place and got whatever credit
and advantage could come of il it.
And land l hope you-will be
watching TO see whether these
left wing commentators will at
tack Joe Stain for giving Ba-
doglio the accolade. Apparently
only he can never be wrong.
OF course, Stain does not love
Badoglio. Nor does he hate him.
He views Badoglio, the king. as
every one else effectively within
the perspective of Russia's in
terest. Love and hate are emo
tons that can have no place in
politics which is, with smart
men, q mechanism for the adj
vancement of the interests of a
particular government. And
with Stain il is not the world.
or mankind or the United Ma
tionS or his allies that matter:
il is Soviet Russia. first. last
and all the time. For that l
honor him as / honor any man
who loves and protects his own
country. If the left wingers in
the United States were sincere
imitators of Stain. they would
organize themselves an America
first for the advocacy of sheer
nationalism.
And so. by recognizing Ba-
doglio while the United States
-s4f4dE Gredt Britain continue TO
play should we or should we
not. Stain arrives on the
ground floor with a bouquet of
orchids and will be duly and
fittingly received. Having fixed
his goals in the Bait countries,
having swatted Poland between
the eyes, having told Finland
where 10 go, ne is now branch
ing out into the Balkans and
maybe he and Badoglio will
reach a meeting Of the minds on
how 10 limit British and Ameri-
can influence in the Mediter-
ranean.
This has now become war
for the balance of power. m
that kind of a game, Americans
have no, experience. but IL is
one that all European states
have been playing for centuries.
