as the regent or one of three
regents.
Third: The fear that present
political conditions in Europe and
the economic situation in Spain
do not provide the essential basis
that would assure stability, dur
ability and prosperity for re-
establishing the monarchy.
undam entally interrelated,
though there is little visible con-
nection at the moment, is the set
back that the admitted failure Of
the Spanish monarchist movement
is believed to have given TO the
monarchial movements in Greece,
Yugoslavia, Austria and Bavaria.
AFFECT ON ITALY
It may even give an impetus to
Communist and Socialist efforts
in Italy aimed at abolishing the
monarchy in that country.
Generalissimo Franco, caudillo
and chief of staff of Spain, refuses
to 60, either to please the mon
archists or the Communists
within and without the country.
Franco bids defiance to the "in-
ternational Communist conspiracy
against Spain"
He will stay and fight for
Christian law and order" if
need be.
That is the Interpretation placed
upon the governments pronuncia-
mento.
WHOLESALE AMNESTY
At the same time, Franco is
following Premier Salazar's lead
in Portugal, with wholesale am
nesty for political offenders prior
to 1899.
The amnesty is believed to ex-
tend to refugee Spanish republic
ans and radicals in America, Mex
leo, South America and in Spain,
insofar as they were not guilty of
common crimes"
What constitutes commo o n
crimes has not yet been fully de-
fined.
Franco has also called for MT
nicipal elections next March as
prelude to other elections.
In respect to freedom of the
press within Spain and opposition
parties, Franco has not yet gone
as far as Salazar in Portugal, but
a far-reaching liberalization of
government is promised.

America Returning Home

Turing the flood of growing governmental
IL control, the country was torn to pieces
with factonal and partisan war. Our armies
and fleets were unified, but the bitterness at
home was ferocious.
But now that the flood waters have ceased
to rise, and while state lines, and property
lines, and private lines have all begun to re-
appear, party lines have all but vanished.
Can you remember in all your experience
when there was so little partisanship as there
is today? The Gallup poll shows that, while
PRESIDENT TRUMAN HAS REACHED A
HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF POPULARITY
THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT EVER
REACHED, his popularity with the Repub-
licans is even greater than with the Demo-
Gratis. Put that in your peace-pipe and
smoke it.
Oh, we are not rid of troubles and party
disputes-heaven knows and so does the other
place But our problems are no longer left
for their solution to a seething mass of
bureaucrats centralized in giant sardine can
known ironically as Washington.
We are no longer going TO send all our
geniuses and our petitioners to frightful jam
session in an infinite Pentagon building where
life is one long subway ride, with everybody's
elbow in everybody else's eye and everybody
standing on everybody elses toes. This is
once more a nation of divided and subdivided
duties and tasks but one great unity based
on mutual respect for individual dignity and
equality

PART III

LNOREIGN monarchs on gaining power
II always tried 10 establish themselves, die
tate their successors consolidate their power
and make it permanent.
President Truman startled the nation by
suddenly saying:
1T isn't right In case of my death or dis
ability that should be succeeded by cabinet
officer whom l myself have selected, and
nobody has ever elected"
He asked Congress to change the law and,
while awaiting its action, even went SO far as
to change his secretary of state from man
who had never held an elective office to one
who had.
THAT is TREMENDOUSLY AMERICAN.
1T is SUBLIME IN ITS SELF-RENUNCIA-
TION. 1T BRINGS BACK THE TRADITIONS
ESTABLISHED BY THE FATHER OF OUR
COUNTRY AND THE GIANTS WHO HAD
STUDIED THE FATE OF REPUBLICS AND
KNEW THAT ALL OF THEM HAD FALLEN
INTO THE HANDS OF AMBITIOUS MEN
GREEDY FOR POWER.
DOVER almost always corrupts and it
Il takes a greater man to put it away from
him than to seize it and enlarge it. e.
This country has grown from 13 little
colonies in wilderness to the mightiest nation
in history, mainly because it has encouraged
In every one of it's children the thought that
he may become successful and powerful If he
will make the most of his own abilities.
A steel cable will stand more strain than
one Of hemp, because its fibers are of steel.
So our great nation has risen by encouraging
its individuals to become steel and to take
pride each in his own strength under strain.
In totalitarian country the individual is
taught that he is but humble creature of the
state, coral insect in the reef, a nobody of
himself. That spirit had begun to flourish in
certain circles here in America.
That spirit still exists but it is losing its
power and is going out of style. The fire and
the fury with which we face the future are
all burning toward the releasing of individual
power and the kindling of individuality to its
highest flame.

BY BENITO MUSSOLINI
Dntributed EreiusiVsIy by Inter
national ksws Special Service

DONE - (INS) - The liberia
ton of MuSSolini created
genuine wave of enthusiasm
among the Germans.
Hundreds of letters and tele-
grams, even verses, were sent
to Mussolini from every corner
OF the German Reich.
When the duce spoke on the
radio the news that he had
arrived from Italy came as an
unpleasant surprise. Those
were the days of Italy's great
est degradation, with looting
and chaos throughout the
country.
The rumor was put out that
the speech over the radio was
not given by Mussolini. This
rumor was a clear sign that the
Italians in general we're con-
fused.
These rumors never died en-
tirely. For an explanation we
must examine the, psychology
of the average Italian. Many
OF them thought that Mussolini
was too tough TO kill.
LIE HAD been 10 the border
- of death and beyond more
than once.
He should have died at the
Rochi Hospital in 1917 when he
was badly mauled and his leg
almost had TO be amputated.
Instead he survived and walked
about with both legs healthy.
In 1920, Mussolini was able TO
survive most serious automo-
bile accident. His car crashed
into the gates at railroad
grade crossing
The gates were smashed
but not Mussolinis skull. His
armor of bone saved him.
Another time Mussolinis PAN
ger head saved him was when
a plane in which he was riding
crashed from 80 feet to the
ground.
Then one time Mussolini was
in an airplane at $1,000 feet
when il was struck by light
ming. This was above Salerno
in 1885.
MusSolini also fought several
duelS, but these were not really
serious. They were more or
less in the nature of a joke.
Not so funny were the at
tempts to kill him in 1925 and
1926 by bombs and pistols in

MuSSOlini'S Own Story

when the Fascists hampered
and insulted him.
nURING this election, Musso-
- lini scored only 1000 votes
against the Communists. The
Reds staged a mock Mussolini
funeral and carried a coffin in
front OF his door.
Out OF that coffin came the
Mussolini Of 1929 (when he rose
TO power)
The 1943 attempt TO knock
off Mussolini politically and
physically was very much like
that Of 1919. But he who holds
the destiny Of men in his hands
wllled otherwise
The MuSsolini of yesterday
and today is again in working
harness. His desk is no longer
at the Palazzo NeneZia but Mus
solini thanks God for having
spared him.
He does not have 10 face the
farce of noisy trial in Madison
Square Garden in New York.
That would have been far worse
and far more boring than being
hung on a dark. drizzling morn
ing in the Tower OF London.
Thank the gods that MuSSo-
lini lived trough the fifth
terrible act of his fatherland's
drama.

a Land That Invites

ONE of the important actions at the
recent governors conference at
Mackinac Island was to seek Presi-
dent Truman's leadership in making
Palestine a permanent haven and
home for Jewish victims of war and
persecution.
Thirty seven of the state execu
tives addressed a petition to the
President, with a covering letter.
from Gov. Herbert B. Nav of Utah,
requesting Mr.. Truman to take i'm
mediate steps" to open Palestine "to
Jewish mass immigration and coloni-
zation and to bring about the earliest
transformation of that country into
free and democratic Jewish COM
monwealth."
THE appropriate suggestion was
Il also made that final solution of
the Jewish and Palestine problems
be sought by the President at his
Berlin conference with Prime Minis
ter Churchill and Marshal Stain.
This obviously is the time and the
place for such a discussion, and in
fact the issue belongs there, for the
Jewish and Palestine questions are
among the world problems which
must be rightly disposed of if just
and durable peace is to be erected
among the nations.
In part, the problem reaches back
to the first World War, and the basis
of a practicable adjustment must be
sought in events of that time.
And this country has both legal
and moral obligation in the matter.
On. Nov. 2, 1917, the British gov
ernment issued the famous Balfour
declaration, guaranteeing" that
"Jewish national home" would be
founded in liberated Palestine.
On Jan. Is, 1922, in letter to
Secretary of State Hughes, Lord Bal
four invited" the United States to
"assist" in the project. 49,.
American public opinion was rep
resented by a joint resolution
adopted by the two houses of Con-
gress, which recorded the principle
of the Balfour declaration as follows:
THAT the United States of
America fauors the establishment in
Palestine of national home for the
Jewish people, il being clearly un-
derstood that nothing shall be done
tOhich may prejudice the civil and
religious rights of Christians and all
other non-JetOish communities in
Palestine, and that the holy places
and religious buildings and sites in
Palestine shall be adequately pro-
tected."
IN THE same year 1922 Great
Il Britain was entrusted with the
temporary administration of Pales
tine under a mandate of the old
League of Nations.
On Dec. 3, 1924, the United States
became formally a party" to the
mandate by means of an American
British Palestine Mandate Conven-
ton" which was signed by Frank B.
Kellogg, American ambassador to
Great Britain, and Austen Chamber
lain, British secretary of state for
foreign affairs, and which was fully
ratified by both governments.
Thereafter, Jewish settlement in
Palestine was active for some years.

War interrupted all this,
DRIME MINISTER CHAMBER
4 LAIN of Great Britain suspended
the Balfour declaration, and Jews in
Palestine and elsewhere, out of
loyalty to the United Nations,
acquiesced.
More than that, Palestine sent
contingent of Jewish troops to fight
with the Allies along the Mediter-
ranean.
For the duration, Jewish immi-
grafton to Palestine was estopped,
except for the occasional rescue of
war victims through the Balkans.
Now the second World War is
over in Europe, and new peace is
being made, and the friends of
Jewish homeland believe that the
Balfour declaration should be made
fully effective.
Quite lately, David Ben -Gurion-
himself a Jewish settler in the Holy
Land from this country, who dwells
in Jerusalem as chairman Of the
Jewish agency for Palestine-visited
England and America to report on
conditions as of today.
He disclosed that, between the
two world wars, 100000 Jewish i'm
migrants were located in Palestine
on 100000 acres of land-about one
eighteenth of the available space.
HE SAID THAT 100000 JEWS
VIRTUALLY THE JEWERY OF
THE WHOLE WORLD-COULD
FIND HOMES IN PALESTINE
AND STILL LEAVE HALF THE
COUNTRY OPEN"
He announced that the Jewish
agency is prepared to receive one
million Jews at once-600, 900 from
Europe and 100000 from North
Africa and the Near East countries
such as Iraq.
And, he declared, there are hun
dreds of thousands of dispossessed
Jews in Europe who hope despair
ingly to make Palestine their
country.
IN RUSSIA alone are 250,000
III former Polish Jews - some of
them in Russian occupied regions
that were once part of Poland, others
farther east" where they have been
transported" by the Soviets.
These Jews, said Mr.. Ben Gurion,
do not want to remain in Russia and
they do not want to return to Poland.
They want to live in Palestine, in
the land of their Biblical forefathers.
And there are many more - in
Hungary, in Rumania, in Bulgaria,
in Germany, in France.
Not all of the Jews in Europe de-
sire to migrate, but hundreds of thou
sands of them do; yet they cannot,
unless the Chamberlain embargo On
Jewish settlements in Palestine be
lifted and the policy of the Balfour
declaration be restored.
That is the disposal for which the
Zionist leaders are now pleading and
which the governors of 81 American
states have asked President Truman
to support in the conference of the
big three.
