and road conditions. Ease up
when there's a freeze-up.

TRIESTE
choslovakia to depend on the
North Sea ports of Germany.
STRAIN ;.

mus, the proposal TO leave
Trieste in Italian hands is con-
demned On every ground. The
third solution is to attempt to
devise some method of taking
Trieste away from Italy without
giving it to Jugoslavia. This
seems a strange ambition; but
the reason for it, though not
consciously appreciated by it's
authors, is easy to appreciate. 1t
springs from the belief that the
Italians are civilized and that
the Jugoslavs are not, and that
therefore Italians should not be
put under Jugoslav rule. In the
popular mind, the Italians are
still the heirs of Dante and of
the Renaissance; and the Jugo-
slavs are, as Bismarck called
them, "sheep stealers."
No one can hold this view who
has ever been to Ljubljana or
has lived among the Slovenes.
But few English (and Ameri-
CAM people visit Ljubljana and
MANY visit Rome; and, when
they visit Rome, they convent
emily forget that they are visit
ing the city of Mussolini. SINH
larly, visiting Jugoslavia, they
may be ignorant that they are
visiting the country which gave
the Slavonic world (and Russia)
it's first alphabet, and in the
modern age produced Tesla, who
invented the poly-phase dy-
namO.

turies, which the Italians them
selves have found it easy to for
get. To talk as though the Ital-
ians belong to western civiliza-
ton and the Slovenes and Croats
do not is indeed to remain faith
full to the spirit of the British
Prime Minister who supported
German claims against another
"far-away people Of whom we
know nothing.'
This was never G good argu-
ment. 1t is now seven years out
of-date, seven of the most deci-
sive years in world history.
Another suggestion which has
been made is that the proper
solution for Trieste can be de-
vised only if we grasp that Tri-
este is neither Italian nor Jugo-
slaV, but "Austrian.""
In one sense this is true,
though even so the discovery is
neither profound, nor helpful.
For to assert that Trieste is
Austrian frontier. Between Aus
tria and Trieste lies country
that is solidly Slovene, and as
such disputed by nobody.
Moreover, these Slovenes have
been among the most stalWart
supporters of the cause of the
United Nations. The German
Austrians, on the other hand,
have been as stalWart support
ers of Hitler, and have provided
many of the worst Nazi butch
ers all over Europe.
To return to real life. The only
serious proposal which would
keep the Jugoslavs out of Tri-
este is to make Trieste a Free
City. This is a very different
thing from making Trieste d
free port, a proposal that it is
not in dispute. A free port mere
ly implies that goods passing to
or from Czechoslovakia, Austria
Hungary or other countries be-
yond Jugoslavia would not have
to pay Jugoslav customs dues;
apart from any international
obligations that were imposed,
this would be imposed by Jugo-

that Italian liberalism will have
rebirth, and in this hope keeps
charitably silent about Italy's
record during the last twenty
years. For this reason I have
deliberately spent only a brief
paragraph on the story of Ital-
ian terrorism and misrule over
the Slovenes, though it is a story
which could fill a book. But
when Italian writer's, such as
Salvemini, write as though it
were unthinkable that Italians
should ever be under Jugoslav
rule, but reasonable that Slo-
venes should be under Italian
rule, it is impossible not to re-
call the record of the last 20
years. On that record there can
be only one verdict: Italy,
eohether Liberal or Fascist, cam
not be entrusted to rule over
non-ltalsan peoples.
Perhaps it is harsh to make
too much of the historical rec
ord; but it would be dishonest
to pass it over altogether. These
things happened. They may be
excused-though I can think of
no excuse. But they cannot be
ignored. Italian rule over the
Slovenes (and over the Germans
of the Tyrol) had no parallel in
Europe, until the worst days of
Hitler.
Let us, with the Italian prop
agandists, question the good
faith of the new Jugoslav rulers,
let us suppose that in a little
while Jugoslavia will revert to
the worst days of the dictator
ship of King Alexander. Even
in those days the ten thousand
Italians of Dalmatia under Ju-
goslav rule had their own news
papers, and more schools than
all the 100000 Jugoslavs in It.
ally. Thus, the record of Jugo-
slavia at it's worst is better than
that of Italy at it's best.
But even were we to turn our
backs altogether on the past
and to suppose that Signor Bo-
nomi, Count Sforza and their
liberal colleagues would behave
in 1916 or 1947 in a totally diff
ferent way from the way that
Signor Bonomi, Count Sforza
and their liberal colleagues be-
haved in 1920, the economic ar
guments against partition re-
main. The British and American
public are not much concerned
with these political disputes.
For the sake of peace they are
prepared to acquiesce in nation
al injustice. But they desire that
Trieste shall recover it's old
greatness and become again the
port of central Europe.
For the sake of argument we
may pretend that Italy will give
up her imperialist plans in CEN
tral Europe. But Trieste has on
economic meaning for Italy ex-
cept as an instrument for these
economic plans; a truly pacific
Italy will therefore inevitably
neglect Trieste. Trieste is a
great port; it's docks and har-
borst cost money and need con-
stant care. But Italy is a poor
country and is likely to remain
SO. For every many years the
Italian Minister of Transport
will have a limited budget; and
he would have in his charge
four great ports-Naples, Gen
GA, Venice and Trieste. :
The first three of these serve
Italian needs and every penny
spent On them will benefit Italy.
Trieste does not serve Italy, and
money spent on it would be
merely a charitable contribution
for the benefit of the states of
central Europe, Will an impoy-

MORE C0NTENDEQS
 AFTER C0CHRANE'S
 PURSE THAN TITLE
zivit Clan Claims Fourth Interest in Welferweight
 Champs Friday End
By Sid Feeder

SOUTH ORANGE, N. J. Jan. 30. Freddie the Red Cochrane jump ed into the ring in Seton Hall Col lege's modern domed gym wearing the school shirt and colors, and somebody said it's good thing Reds going to college now, what with this lawsuit on his hands and everything.
 It was Freddie the Reds last ser ious workout for his welterweight title defense Friday against Marty Servo in Madison Square Garden, and since Reds a CT student at Seton Hall now, he's training there. However, Manager Willie tthe BeardD Gilzepberg was around yes terday hollering there'd be no fight unless promoter Mike Jacobs put up Reds purse in advance.
 It seems Bobby Quinn, sometime business manager of Fritzie zivic, had filed a court action in New York for 25 percent of Reds earn nings. The claim is based on a con tract Cochrane signed just before he took the title from Fritzie in July l94l, and Willie the Beard figured he would avoid attachment of Fridays purse if he had it in advance.
 The contract, naturally, means that when Fritzie and Freddie fought for the title, a member of Fritzies fistic family owned" 25 percent of Cochrane. Incidentally, Mike said in New York he wouldn't put up the purse in advance, and this left it up to Willie to decide between now and Friday at ten.
 For Freddie's last workout yes terday, Tony .Galento turned up and somebody asked, "are you back for your Masters, Tony? And Tony wanted to know who's that bump

18, ,oo0 acres and some coal mines in Leicestershire and Derbyshire. Both are 26.
 Int bridegroom, however, is only one factor in the royal marriage.
 While it is not necessary for the princess to marry someone of royal blood Princess Mary, sister of King George and now princess of royal, broke this tradition when she mar ried the present Earl of Harewood in 1922 and while she will have something to say in the matter, nonetheless, she must follow these precepts
 The Constitution requires that her husband be a Protestant; the Royal Marriage Act of 1772 gives Parlia- ment overriding power in the mar riage of a member of the royal fam fly; if she is still under 25 she must have the consent of the king and the marriage must be set ovt in the license register and entered in the books of the Privy Council.
 The present queen was married at 23, and Queen Mary at 26.
 The biggest feature is public opin- ion. especially touchy since the Duke of Windsor abdicated.
 Empire minded Britons would like to see their princess marry a Canadian, Australian, South African of eligible citizen of the common wealth, and thus weld the empire.
 American-mi citizens, as well as most Americans, would like to see her marry an American and thus weld inter- American relations.
 And royal-minded citizens would like to see her marry into another royal family and thus weld inter- national relations.
 The least popular choice would be 8 Briton, since there's an unwritten law against the queen marrying one of her subjects. Even the marriage of the present king to Lady Eliza beth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 when he was not yet heir to the throne, was regarded with widespread displeas- ure.
 According to British journalists, most people hope the princess will marry for love and they don't want the princess to marry some broken down Balkan fugitive from revolu- tion."
 In addition to the public wishes, there is the future husband and his wishes to consider, since the posi- tion of prince consort is fairly re- stricted. The last such member of tke royal family was Prince Albert.
 And meanwhile, Princess Elizabeth herself continues to be a princess and Buckingham Palace continues to deny rumors of engagements, mar ital alliances or even marital in- clinations.

WORLD lS BETTING ON ROYAL MARITAL SWEEpSTAKES; INTERNATIONAL GUESSING GAME, PICKING HUSBAND FOR ELIZABETH
Bv HELEN CAMP

LONDON - Since the most mar riageable girl in the world has arriv- ed at marriageable age, these two Sthings are certain:
 Whatever Princess Elizabeth does it went be done in a hurry, and, no matter how hard she tries, it can't be done quietly.
 The rumors run rampant. "Shes S going to marry Greek prince /. she's going to marry Belgian re- gent Shes going to marry an unnamed American :" Shes going to marry any one of num- Der of British nobelmen.'
 If Elizabeth dances with someone. she's going to marry him; If she chats with someone she's going to marry him.
 One of the greatest sweepstakes Tn the world could be set up on the future alliance of Britains l9-year- cid heiress presumptive. And since, in a changing world this may be the last great royal marriage, the odds would be high
 When Princess Elizabeth Alexan- ara Mary was just 12 years old as soon as her father became king journalists started picking her hus- band.
 A Paris writer in 1888 listed these possibilities:
 Prince Gorm of Denmark, now 26, nephew of King Christian and son of Prince Harald and Princess Helena, just returned from Sweden where he fled during the war.
 Prince George, also of Denmark, now 25. cousin of King George of Greece and brother of the crown princess of Norway, who had a dis tinguished record in the Danish Underground and was a member of the advance party which liberated Oslo.
 Prince Carljohn of Sweden, now 29, who has announced his inten- tions of abdicating to marry Mis- tress Kristen Wijkmark, divorcee and Swedish newspaper woman, in the United States this fall.
 The Earl of Dalkeith, now 21, a nephew of the Duchess of Gloucester
 More recent gossip has linked the princess with Prince Philip of Greece, PA, who has spent holidays with the royal family in England and Prince Charles of Belgium, pop ular 41-year-old brother of Leopold
