FTER a visit to Italy .1as

A FTER visit to Italy last
N fall, Henry A. Wallace
commented:
1.-THE utter degradation and
misery of large number of
Italians today may make one
wonder whether our modern So
ciety is less cruel than that of
the emperors who fed Christian
martyrs to the lions of the Coli
scum"
In the months since Wallace
walked through the streets of
Rome, life has grown even more
wretched for the people, but the
approaching general elections,
scheduled to take place this Sun
day, have given them hope.
But an ominous shadow-in
the shape of a constructing dollar
sign-has been thrown over that
fight. 1t is the Marshall Plan,
also known as the European Re-
covery Program ERP).
Nearly 100 parties are appeal
ing for the support of Italy's rs
million voters, but the contest
primarily is between Alcide De

Intervention in Spain in 1896
was carried through by Germany
and Italy under Hitler and Mus
solini. The German and Italian
governments first sent agents to
Spain and poured money into
that country in an attempt to help
Spanish fascism win the Febru-
airy elections. Reckoning with the
possibility of a Popular Front
victory they were already plan
ming the revolt which was to be-
gin on July 10, 1886 under the
guise of ''holy' crusade against
Bolshevism.

of the elections.

of the elections.
Spain and Italy are both
Catholic countries. Both have
huge landed estates, impoverished
peasants and a rich land-owning
church. In Spain, the hierarchy
of the church aided and abetted
the intervention of Hitler and
Mussolini while the majority of
the Catholic people voted for the
Peoples Front and fought in the
war on the side of the Republic.
Once again, in Italy, the Vatican
is aligned with native reaction
and foreign interventionists. This
time it's the u. S. military Wall
Street clique which is using the
Vatican as it was used by Hitler
and Mussolini.

the peasants Gust and material
conditions of life," to give tech
nical and financial aid to small
landholders, cooperatives. and
peasants.
The base for these proposals
lies in the poverty of the Italian
peasantry, which constitutes 46%o
of the population = the largest
class.
The men and women who work
the land do not own it. Not
counting the vast holdings of the
Roman Catholic Church, about
$50 of the land is owned by
a handful of rich men, who
squeeze the greatest profit pos
sible out of the labor of the
peasants.
There are a few small land
owners who are always deeply
in debt, are under pressure from
the big landlords, but most of

sharecroppers. There is also a
stable class of farm laborers
hired on day-to-day basis.

CAN THEY DO IT!

Can They DO IT!
Campaign oratory often leads
excited folk to believe h a the
world must go to pot unless a GER
tain candidate wins. But in the
present presidential campaign
there S e e m S to be an unusual
disposition to question partisan
claims. Independent voters GER
tainly will look twice at some of
the speeches now coming from
the Truman and Dewey cam
paign trains.
Both candidates are for peace
and against initiation. Governor
Dewey takes a useful line when
he urges American a i d to unite
Europe. Secretary Marshall has
said and done a good deal along
this line, and ECA Administrator
Hoffman has been putting on the
pressure. But more needs to be
done, and we can t h ank Mr..
Dewey for emphasizing the need.
Our thanks will be increased
when he offers more in the way
of methods.
Mr.. Truman made a dramatic
appeal for support of the United
Nations. That is welcome, too,
but would have more force if he
had said more about how and if
we could forget the cases-as in
the shifting of policy over Pal
estine-w h e n American action
has weakened UN.
Mr.. Dewey announced an anti
initiation program which follows
closely the Republican platform.
Everybody knows that govern
mental expenses can be cut-as
every family's expenses can be.
But during the last two years the
Republicans in Congress h av e
found that they could not agree
to make many of t h e savings
they promised. Cuts large enough
to check imitation may be hoped
for but hardly promised. And if
a mixture of tax cuts, increased
losses on farm price support pay
ments, higher arms expenditures,
and more aid to China produces
a budget surplus that W i | | stop
imitation, a lot of economists are
going to be surprised.
Much of Mr.. Truman's anti
initiation program is no more
hopeful-if for no other reason
than that he couldn't get Con-
gress to adopt it. And we must
doubt whether Mr.. Truman by
going to Nevada and California
to attack "mossback" congress-
men from eastern states will re-
move any gentlemen W h o more
or less fit that description from
Congress. Wise voters will no t
expect their government-who-
ever controls ito make as big
changes as the candidates talk
about. On imitation, particularly,
the people will do we'll to recog-
nize that their own self-restraint
will count more than any measure
Washington is likely to adopt. -

 It is no ordinary love story that Desert Fury" tells, but romance unusual in content and theme.

Detying her mother and peace. officer Burt Lancaster. who loves her, Lizac eth runs after John Kodiak, gambler with an odlous past who has been curiously drawn back to the scene of his wife's mysterious death in an auto accident.

Gratis, reformists, labor unions, and
all state institutions, constitutions,
parliaments, judiciaries OF non
Communist social orders. These are
to be overthrown from top to bot
tom" and necessarily" by extreme
violence. This is reiterated over and
over in the platforms of the Com
munist International. To quote:
unless the bourgeois system is
overthrown, the repetition of war Is
inevitable. To overthrow the in
ternational bourgeoisie and create
an international Soviet Republic,
all means will be used including
force of arms"
Without revolutionary overthrow
no talk of disarmament or
democratic reorganization Of the
League Of Nations will be capable
of preventing war"
ITO admit the idea of peaceful
reformist passage to socialism is to
give proof of extreme petty bour-
geois obtuseness."

another push into Wallace's arms.
Opening of Scenario.
The scenario opened last fall when
House Leader Sam Rayburn was
assured by the President that Mr..
Lands, a career New Dealer who
loved his job, would be reappointed
when his term expired December 81.
Suddenly one pre-Christmas after
noon. Press Secretary Ross sum-
moned reporters and volunteered
that Mr.. Lands was being axed.
Mr.. Truman curtly refused COM
ment amid the storm of criticism
that broke, not only over his act
but the ungracious manner of its
doing.
CAB sources said that Mr..
Lands had affronted the major air
lines by forcing them to take ex-
pensive safety precautions and en-
couraging competition in air freight
by independents, chiefly veteran
owned. In CAB, it is believed that
these complaints, plus charges Of
interference with the aviation in
spection service in Commerce, we're
relayed to Mr.. Truman by Secretary
of Commerce Hartman. Mr.. Harri-
man also suggested various replace
ments, including Stanton Grifls, a
Pan American Anyways stockholder.
Mr.. Hartman states that he did
not initiate the fight on Mr.. Lands,
that when asked by the White
House he said he had information
Mr.. Lands was not a good admin
istrator and that he submitted his
list only by request.
II Is suggested that Mr.. Lands,
