Inc story of his inglorious death, his

Mussolini, early in his ascendency to
power as Fascist leader displayed the
quality of sane leadership Italy was
ripe for change and it was a change at
that time or complete economic collapse.
Leaving aside the question of whether
the Fascist policy was right or wrong, II
Duce braced faltering, hectic govern

lent encouragement to the belief that he
sincerely hoped to rebuild his decadent
nation.

FOURTH ESTATE" AND

Something went wrong or didn't even

It so happens the radio reporters are in
the same predicament.
So far there hasn't been much grous-

when there are 1872 newsmen and women

LOST GENERATION"
christian Science Monitor)

(Chrlstlan Science Monitor)
America has been hearing earnest ex-
hortations to avoid the tragedy of "lost
scientific, generation stop the draft
ing into genera. military service of prom
ising young research scholars The Ma
tlon's progress, it is said, may be re-
tarded decade or two, while countries
who have kept the researchers at their
jobs can march ahead.
SO far the protests appear to have
come from the physical scientists
physicists, chemists, and biologists. The
historians and the social scientists have
yet to make their voices audible Per-
haps they feel that since they deal with
human beings and the various phenom-
ena of human society, their scholars can
learn by observation and analysis out
side academic halls. Perhaps it is the
difficulty of stating their case. Most of
us admit our ignorance in such fields as
electronics, synthetics, and astronomical
calculations. But we inwardly suspect
that we are already authorities on any
thing pertaining to human behavior
There is good deal to be said in be-
half of better use of talents and accum-
ulated capital of knowledge and training
in the war effort. The armed forces
have done much better in this war than
in the last, but there are still too many
highly trained young scholars driving
trucks. The experience may be good for
the boys, but the Nation is wasting an
investment.
And because the historians and social
scientists have the harder case to make,
word in their behalf: This war was not
brought about by ignorance of physics
or chemistry, nor will the problems of
peace be solved by advances in technol-
ogy. The conflict grew out of failures
in the worlds skill and the will to live to-
gether in peaceable society of men and
nations, and the hope for peace largely
lies in improvement in this direction.
There is something in the research schol-
ar's impersonal, impartial approach to
problem, whether it be chemical or politi-
cal, that contributes unobtrusively but
powerfully to world freer from hates
and fears

OUR CASUALTIES
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
Announcement by the war department
that our casualties in the World War
thus far reported have reached 929,373
is a reminder that we have been and are
engaged in a colossal struggle. Before
many weeks, at the present intensity of
the fighting on both fronts, we probably
shall have passed our finest specimens of
physical manhood, the bravest and best
of our citiZenry.
The only compensation, from the mill
tary standpoint, is that in suffering these
casualties we have inflicted far greater
number on our enemies. The ratio of en-
emy losses on the Pacific front has con-
sistently been enormously greater than
our own on the western front we like
wise have taken far greater toll of the
enemy than our own losses, although the
discrepancy has been by no. means so
marked.
AS our striking power increases and
the end of the European conflict comes,
we may reasonably hope for an encourag
ing decline in casualties.

same rock and threw it back to the
white man with such force that it
fractured Angels skull and caused
his death a few days later at hos

ARKANSAS SENATOR
SEEKS TO Offset
NEGRO VOTE Bill

NEW YORK, Feb. % (ANP)-
Sen. John l.. Moore Of Helena has
introduced a bill in the senate,
which is proposed both to secure
white supremacy in Arkansas
Democratic primary elections and
prevent Negroes from voting for
state offices. Should the measure
become law Negroes will no longer
participate in primary elections as
they did last summer when several
hundred colored were permitted to
cast their ballots. Arkansas Gov.
Laney favors the act.
according to Sen. Moore, the pro-
posed bill would separate the pri-
maries to nominate candidates for
federal and state offices. Arkansas
Democrats would vote in one elec-
ton for U. S. senator's, congress
men and Democratic national COM
mitteemen and committeewomen
and in another for state, county and
township offices.
According to the Arkansas sena-
tor the bill has strong support es-
pecially from Eastern Arkansas
counties where Negroes outnumber
whites; he said that 80 of 35 sena-
tors signed the bill with two abb
sent.

Sen. BIlB0 IN
VICIOUS ATTACK ON
AUBREY VILLAINS

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1 (ANP).
Theodore Bilbo, Democrat, sena-
tor from Mississippi, couldn't resist
the temptation to vent his spleen on
Negroes and all persons who have
actually helped the Negro. When
Aubrey Williams, nominated for the
post of administrator of the Rural
Identification administration, was
being questioned, Bilbo injected his
TRADE.
Williams as youngster was a
Presbyterian ministerial student,
but never adopted ministerial ca
reer' despite his training. He is best
known as the former head of the
now defunct National Youth ad-
ministration. His cooperation with
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune, head
of the division of that outfit,
brought Negroes many of the few
benefits they did obtain.
Attacking Williams for his lib
eral views on racial relations, Bilbo
thumped the table with clenched
fist and growled into the face of
the nominee:
"You should be on closer terms
with Russia"
Bilbo's attack was touched off
when Williams, advocating a more
abundant life for the nations
poor, called attention to living con-
ditions among the sharecroppers of
the south, particularly in Mississ-

tion."
Sen. Aiken, Republican of Yer
mont, said that he was convinced
that Mr.. Williams had run the NYA
efficiently and honestly" spending
in the neighborhood of 600 or TOO
millions dollars
Objecting to witnesses who had
"slandered the NYA" as a refuge
for draft dodgers" Mr.. Williams
pointed out that 1881 or so per
cent of the NYA male membership
of military age went into the armed
service, of whom 1905 were vol
unteers.
