Secrecy and Confusion

Secrecy has been much in the news lately, and for obvious reasons. It has ranged from the ridiculous to the deeply serious. The first department was taken care of neatly by White House game of possum, in which a Presidential secretary refused to admit that Harry Hopkins was out of town even after papers were carry ing pictures of MT Hopkins taken over seas. The serious aspect of our contlnu- ing policy of secrecy arose from the ex- change of charges and explanations be- tween Representative Marcantonio of New York and Under Secretary of State Grew over the terms of the still-secret Italian-Allied armistice of September 3, 1943. This exchange simply added lit- tie more confusion to a situation that has been a politcial and diplomatic mess for almost year and half. During that time Italy has been "cobeligerent," whatever that may be. An American cor respondent in that country recently gave the status clearer Identification when he called Italy "a sort of Allied enemy"
 MT. Marcantonio claimed that Italy lost her African colonies, the island of Pantelleria and possibly the port of Trieste through the armistice terms. MT. Grew answered that the armistice made no dis position of Italian territories or frontiers. And he offered the added note that, while the armistice was concluded on an un- conditional-surrender basis, it had not been necessary to apply the original terms because of Italy's "co-belligerency." All that leaves the Italian and American and British people knowing just about as much as they did before. They know that Italian forces are fighting beside the Allies to the extent of strength which the armistice allows them. They know that the Allies are still holding thousands of co-belligerent Italy'S soldiers as prisoners of war They know that the Italians welcomed the Allies as liberators when they entered Rome, no matter how the armistice intended they should be re- garded. But it is no secret that the 1tal- ians in Allied-occupied territory aren't eating as well as they did under Musso- lini and the German occupation. They know that Italy is neither conquered nor self-governing
 The Italians are living in sate of uncertainty and confusion. Their coun- trys financial structure is reported to be on the verge of collapse as result. Yet their government seems anxious to please, willing to continue the war, and hopeful of eventual solution. It may be hoped that the Big Three conference will, at long last, evolve a clarifying program for Italy. It is time that Italy is treated either as a conquered enemy or as an ally, and that the terms under which she is to exist be made known.

Winning the War

Apparently one of the early problems of the war will be "How to Get the Boys Back Home," rather than how to send more boys overseas. The Germans are re ana ana they & hayen gnOSf 4ees os stead of surrender.
 It is an awfully long ways from Aus tralia to Japan, but the distance left for MacArthur's journey to Tokyo is not very great.
 At the risk of being accused of opti- nism the Washington Correspondent of this newspaper expresses the opinion that the wars will be WON by us in a few weeks, at most-not in months.

Agreement at Yalta

Accord as to principles marks the gen. eral result of the Big Three Conference at Yalta and that much is far beyond the expectations of most of us By no means, however, are the results to be considered perfect or even near perfect and simply because conference has been held we must not now expect Utopia to become an actual creation before our eyes.
 Proof that many difficulties lie ahead is the presence, just twenty-four hours after the announcement of the accords of the conference, of bitter accusations hurled by the Polish government in London. These officials claim, on the part of the conferees, violation of the spirit and letter of the Atlantic Charter and of every nation to defend itself". Perhaps their claims are just; only time will justify the wisdom of the decisions made at the con- ference concerning Poland. The proof is evident that others will follow with sim liar claims, which may be justified or not, greedy or altruiStic. They will appear; there will be no Utopias in our time.
 Virtue of the claims of the Polish gov ernment in London in charging Charter violation is matter for interpretation by all sides, with sincere consideration to be given to the personal and land-bound ties of the Polish government to it's Polish soil. These representatives have un- doubtedly, since the first declaration of the principles of the Charter, held firmly with eager hope to that clause affirming Self-determination" by denouncing the partitioning of any Allied soil
 Now we find Russia adhering to her contention that she is to have that share of Poland, as hers, now boundary marked through the Lublin-Polish government set up by Russian sponsorship. Is such de- mand agreed to by the conference, a con- travention of the Atlantic Charter pledge against territorial aggrandizement? We don't know.
 Perhaps the long view must be taken to foresee peaceful solution to the Euro pean future Perhaps that long view is what Roosevelt and Churchill had in n.ind when they agreed to that partition ing, providing Stalin agreed to new government for Poland made up only in part of the Lublin officials and compris- ing officials from the Polish government in London as we'll Free elections are to be permitted for this coalition govern ment in the future administration, by 1t, of Poland's affairs. In turn that coun- try will receive share of soil to be taken from Germany.
 Agreement by the Big Three to prin- ciples which can be made to form basis for a broader and more thorough form of international government is the most heartening worth to be derived from the conference. Perhaps that heartening effect is no more than the relief occasioned by the knowledge that we in this country, here in Waterbury, have come forth from such a moment ous world event wearing the same ap- parel with which we entered. In other words, we did not give away our shirts! Any questions as to the full wisdom of the results can wait until the near future. For now, we have occasion for iubilation, if such it can be called.

Views Of The Press

make 1t last several years longer. That at any rate is the consensus of the automobile industry as expressed in Detroit.
 So long as the war lasts there will be precious few new cars for private users. Even If the war should end this year the industry expects an &C., cun:ulated demand for between 12 million and IS million cars though the production for the first year after the war will not exceed two million vehicles. The shift over from army tires to civilian tires can be made more speedily so that there will be no great difficulty in keeping present cars supplied with rubber.
 If passenger car production were to be resumed on July 1 of this year 1t would be December before there would be floor models available In dealers show rooms and even then the customers would have to wait Q long, long time before delivery. In

ONE LUMP, OR ONE HALF?

NCETlSLldIl OClcIlCe MOLlAIOAI
 The restaurant that used to dis play sign requesting customers to use less sugar and stir harder i've don't mind the noise"-prob- ably will hang out two signs now. Or as Spenser might have put 1t, more or less elegantly:
 Sweet is the rose, but rows upon
 a brair;
 Sweet Is the juniper, but sharp
 his bough:
 Sweet is the eglantine, but
 pricketh near;
 Sweet is the flrbloom, but his
 branch rough.
 And sweet is sugar, but there
 ain't enough.
 For we hear that sugar is among items of which Hitler must go farther in the future. If you were one of. those civilians who consum- ed 1O4 pounds in 194l, you are one of those civilians who will consume only 78 pounds in 1945.
 At such a time 1t is comfort to reflect that sugar is one of the things that other people can dc quite well without. Even you your self are getting along with no more than at present. And as Milton re- minded us, you can have too much of sugary thing. He once wrote gloomily of "a wilderness of sweets" But that was in Paradise Lost" In Paradise Found" there is no mention of an OPA.

Left-Winsers and Right-Wingers

There's a good deal more to the battle over Henry A. Wallace than appears on the surface. Once upon time he gained prominence by killing several million lit- tie pigs in order to improve the hog markets About the same time he wrote a silly series of articles entitled, (Which Way, America" which went all-out the wrong way. As Secretary of Agriculture he manipulated millions of dollars of un- necessary loans to farmers-but the farmers were basically an honest group, and most of the money has been paid back.
 ' Nevertheless, Wallace proved at that time that he was carrying on most of his work by gueSs-work. Wallace is infatu- ated with the idea that the taxpayers money should be spent right, and left, so that everybody might have some folding money whether they earn it or not. He

 GERMAN UNDER
 GROUND SEETHES
 According 10 uncensored dis patches now reaching Washing ton, active guerrilla warfare is flaring up on a mounting scale behind the German lines.
 First real indication of an &C., tive fifth column in Germany came recently with accurate re- ports of pitched battles inside Berlin, Breslau and Bremen. This new guerrilla warfare differs from that of partisan units inside France, Yugoslavia and Greece in that few of the guerrilla troops are Germans. The bulk are Frenchmen and Russians wkho captured earlier in the war and have been used as slave labor.
 All of these workers were carefully guarded by Himmler until recently. Most lived in big cities and worked in large industrial plants. In Berlin for example, hundreds of thou of slave labOrers have been housed in fenced off temporary barracks in the heart of the city.
 But recent powerful Allied air raids have created such chaos that

AS A MATTER OF FACT

There will always be Manila, plum dering and burning in the extreme not withstanding. Forty-seven years ago to- day the Battleship, Maine, was destroyed in the harbor, and folks were getting all excited about General George Dewey, the hero of the day. Here we are fifty years hence with blazes still featuring the news, and another general, MacArthur, declar- ing the present destruction the worst in history, in that form of retreat or escape tactics.
