FRANCO BETWEEN THE DEVIL
AND THE DEEP SEA
To the Editor


While General Franco of Spain re-
ceived considerable support from the
Democratic world, he owes his vic
tory mainly through military aid CIV
en- by Hitler and Musso1ini. He has
in turn, while processing neutrality,
secretly worked with Hitler in fight
ing Communism and Democratic gov
eminent in Europe, frequently saying
that he will not permit Communism
to set foot in Europe.
He is now the only one barring
Baron Mannerheim, of the four con
spirators holding the reigns of Euro
pean governments at this time. He
may be at this time trying to step
out of a delicate situation by INSTALL
ing monarchy in Spain. He is con-
ceding the hopelessness of regulating
the affairs Of Europe and don't relish
an exit Ala Mussolini.
His Big Lie
While protesting neutrality, he has
done much disservice to the allied
cause and now he is in a pickle with
his blue divisions held prisoners in
Russia. Time and again he has in
sisted that he has no troops fighting
with the German armies in Russia
about 10000 Spanish soldiers in uni
forms to be disposed of according to
military rules.
Stain has sent word to France
that he must admit that they were
fighting on goernments order or they
will be treated as rebels If he adj
mits they were there on Spanish or
ders, incidentally making liar, as
we'll as an instigator of himself, they
will be treated as prisoners of war or
treated as rebels and executed.
Will General Franco abandon his
blue divisions in Russia or will he in
vent some nazi formula to make black
look white? While Hitler was riding
high Franco was torturing Spanish
political prisoners and sending them
to nazi concentration and extermina-
ton camps but now his misdeeds seem
to be catching up with him.
His second big worry was the big
landslide Liberal election in England
when Churchill lost his reelection.
This general trend in European poll
tics is looked upon with misgivings
by Franco, Mannerheim as well as all
the reactionaries in Greece, Italy and
Belgium and may initiate more pro-
gressive legislation in Western Europe
and bind themselves closer to Soviet
Russia. The defeat of Germany marks
4 new era in European politics.

UNDUTIFUL MOTHER

A Lieutenant, soon to be sent
overseas, asks Miss Norris ,uhere
he can find a nursery for his t,oo
children, aged four and fve.
Their mother is not dead, nor
euen sick; she is just too busy en-
joying herself to be bothered
much ,Uith her babies. What care
they do receive comes from their
maternal grandmother. This
young army officer feels that he
must take his children from their
mother and put them in a home
so that he will be assured that
they will be cared for phile he is
diCay.
Miss Norris advises him to
make the best Of bad situation
and to leave the children ,uith
their mother. This is best for
everyone, Miss Norris advises.
Euen a neglecttul mother is better
than an institution, she says.
When the war is over, this young
,Uoman may have matured con-
siderably. She may be quite hap
py to settle doron to the RESPONSE
'iiities of married life.

1t would be much wiser for you
to endure what you can't, at the
moment, cure. Write Betty as pleas
antly and affectionately as you can.
Trust her to grow up, to improve,
to become better mother. Praise
her to her mother, and praise her
mother to her.
If, as your letter indicates, your
last talk with her was somewhat in
the nature of an angry scene, ignore
it. Write her as if it had not &C.
CURED. You will find that she has
cooled down, too, and will be glad to
resume relationship on the old basis.
When you are away, send her a
present now and then, if you can.
In other words, make the best of
bad situation, and wait until the war
ends to come to another understand
ing.
No Code Of Decency.
Sheer decency should have kept
Betty from these excuses, of
course. Sheer decency on the part of
certain national leaders would have
prevented this war, and you would
be at home still, in your normal &C.
cupation, able to protect your wife
and children.
But where code and honor don't
exist, or where a weak, easily-in-
tiuenced woman is left too much to
her own devices, wretched crises
like these do occur, and they have
to be faced like the abnormal prob
lens they are.
1t might be that, in anger, Betty
exaggerated her escapades, just to
provoke you. 1t might be that when
you come home, in a year or two,
you will find different sort of wife.
Don't attempt to find any solution
now; leave it to time.
1t is hard to reach the understand
ing of girl like this. One reminds
her of duty, character, code, fine
ness, moral law" She never heard
the words! Her only law is that of
pleasure, and she hasn't had any
guidance even to show her what
pleasure is safe and what is dam
gerous. Prayer and grace would
save her: nobody has ever taught
her what grace is, or how to pray.
Her whole argument and creed and
belief and law are covered by the
one expressive phrase: $50 what?

Congress in India a Party,
Not a Legislative Body

With the trouble that the Brit
ish Raj is having at the present
time with the Congress" in India,
it is curious to recollect that this
movement was started in 1885
largely through the work of an
English member of the Indian CIV
il service, A. o. Hume, at the sug-
gestion of the then Viceroy, Lord
Dufferin.
Originally named the "Indian
National Congress-" it is not, as
in the United States, the title Of
legislative body. 1t is political
party-the largest and best organ
lied in India, although its MEM
bership in 1941 was only a mil
lion and a half, or ratio Of
l in 259 of the total population.

THERE are times when
there is no immediate cure
L for an intolerable situa-
ton; times when we simply
have to grin and bear it. There
is no use arguing about justice
and reason; they have nothing
to do with it. Things are all
wrong and they are going to stay
wrong, and we have to wait for
the long months or years to
bring about the change.
Such a case seems to be that of
q Lieutenant who writes me from
Florida; his wife and two babies
live in Worcester, Mass. They
can't 60 to him, for it is impossible
to find living quarters where he is,
and he gets home to visit only now
and then.
my wife is extremely pretty"
says his letter. "She is 10 years
younger than L, which means she is
"a. Our children are a girl of and
boy of 4.
Betty is gay and friendly, she
loves good time, and-well, in a
word, she is unfaithful to me. She
goes about with fast crowd, stays
away nights, neglects the children,
runs into debt, and is altogether un-
satisfactory. If reproach her for an
untidy home, crying children who al
ways have colds in their heads, un-
paid bills, and affairs with other
men she only laughs. She doesn't
deny anything. Desperately, when I
was last at home, I accused her of
having lovers, and she answered
boldly, I'm not asking you any
questions, and while you're away
don't think that what do is any of
your business!' Any of my business
what my wife does!
Going Overseas.
"Of course" concludes the letter,
"this sort of action on her part and
this attitude have somewhat de-
stroyed my old love for her. But
what I want your advice about is,
what can do? My mother is dead;
have no sister. Nursery homes for
babies of those ages are too costly,
and although Betty's mother is liv-
ing, and goes in daily to do what
she can for the children, she is not
strong enough to assume full care of
them. I am shortly to be sent over
seas. It is unthinkable to me that
I must tolerate the ignominy and
discomfort of this state of affairs.
Can you recommend to me any So
ciety that cares for cases like this,
and might help me find a place
where I could put my babies?"
No, Don, I don't, and if l did l
wouldn't recommend it. This is a
miserable problem for you, and you
have my heartiest sympathy. To
have to 60 away to the battlefront
under these circumstances is real
martyrdom, and the bitter thoughts
that are seething within you will do
nothing to strengthen your arm or
quiet your nerves when the hour of
crisis comes.
But at the same time, those babies
of yours are better off with the
neglectful, yet "gay and friendly"
mother, and with the daily visits
of the grandmother, than they would
be in any institution, or under any
care you could buy for them now.
All the kindly, older women who
used to care for little charges in
comfortable homes are out in the
world now, driving rivets. nursing
wounded, packing overseas food and
clothing.
