ARSHALL BADGLIO in his interview
with the American press last week laid sole
blame for Italy's entry into' the war, and for its
conduct at all times on Mussolini, and took none
of the- respensbilfty upon himself for his own
conduct.
Mussolini's overthrow, contended Badoglio,
was- the work of the, Fascist. officials, and he
stepped in only when called upon to do so by a
sunmnons fronv the King. When H-eIrbert L..
Matthews of- the New York "Times" reminded
him of the meeting. in Ethiopia, Badoglio said,*
"Those were better times for Italy." This would
seem that the Marshall did not turn against
Il Duce because of hie invasions or lack of in.
vasions, but because Mussolini failed to pick the
right horse.
Throughout his interview Badoglio repeat-
edlf promised that he would resign office im-
Mediately after fighting ceased and the Ger-
mans were overthown. -Even more recently he
stated that h'e would resign after the Allies
reached Rome, rather than have the King ab-
dicate. Iz light of Badogio sentiments toward
Faseism, it seems impossible that he will keep
Ils promises when the time comes for him to
resign, nor- would it be any better for the King,
with' his Fascist tendencies, to remaiu, if -Ba..
doglio would resign after the Allies reiwh
Rome,
BADOGLIO, before.he made his statement to
the press that he would resign when the
Allies reached Rome, approached Count Sforza
and other liberal leaders of Italy, with hopes of
forming a coalition government. Count Sforza,
however, has stated that he has returned to
Italy as a private citizen, and that his only in-
terest in the government and the country was to
help rid it of the Nazis.
Before a coalition government can be formed,
hoisever, the problem of a monarchy must be
solved. Count Sforza and other prominent anti-
Fascists in.Italy are willing to adjust and settle
the differences concerning the government, and
maintain the crown as a symbol if King Victor
and his heir abdicate in favor of Crown Prince
Umberto's six-year old son.
One snag faces this arrangement. A statute
of 1938 requires that in the case of a regency
the next of kin to the King must be named
regent. Prince Umberto, the heir to the throne
and Victor Emmanuel have followed Fascist
dictates for so long, that they coddn't possibly
rule as regents without using many of the
doctrines of Fiscism. They must be ousted and
not allowed to have anything further to do
with the government.
Thus, a government under Badoglio, who, it
seems, will never keep his promises either to
resign after the Nazis are ousted from Italy, or
when the Allies reach Rome, and a regency under
the present government statutes, are not the
solutions to Italy's governmental problems. Per-
haps the revolution, which was evaded because
of .Allied intervention and occupation in Italy,
would be the sole solution to the problem, which
to date has left the Italian people without a
government that they can depend upon.

Criticism Necessary...
MISS PETERSON'S recent editorial
on Reperesntative Dondero as-
serts that our American statesmen
should refrain from making remarks
wherever our gallant Allies are con-
cerned. As she says, "we must not
let men like Representative Dondero
nullify the wonderful results achieved
by the Moscow conference."
It would seem to me, however, that
her proposition, if it is to carry any
weight, must work both ways. The
British have continually made re-
marks, through their press, ridiculing
our Congress. It was they who first
quipped about our five Senators tour-
ing the war fronts. Now we find the
Russians filling our country with
propaganda. We, I presume, are to
stand idly by like little Punch and
Judys while our Allies make. puppets
of us.
If there is to be any kind of peace
between our Allies and ourselves,
we all must mind our own internal
business Do we fill Russia with
propaganda advocating a democ-
racy there? Do we advise the Brit-
ish Parliament on whom they
should chose for Prime Minister.
No! We have left their internal
policies entirely tq the British and
Russian people. Is it too much to
ask or expect that our internal
policies should be left to ourselves?
It would seem to me that it-is any
American statesman's duty 't keep
the public informed about, any ac-
tivity, no matter whom it concerns,
if it threatens that which we are
fighting for-our democracy.,
If that harmony which Miss Peter-
son refers between Russia and the}
United States is to become a reality,
then it must be initiated within Rus-
sia itself. The Russians must keep,
their Red noses out of our internal
affairs. What we do within the Unit-
ed States is up to God and ourselves
and no one else !

DEDICATION:
Students Pledge Today
To Winning War, Peace
FOUR YEARS AGO today Jan Opletal, a 24-
year-old studen't of medicine at the Unlversiy
of Prague died because he demonstrated against
Fascism.
Thousands' of students who attended his
funeral were murdered or shipped to con-
centration camps by fhe Nazis. Al CzchosIo-
vakian universities were closed by- order of the.
Gestapo. - -
A few students escaped the wrath of the
Nazis and made their 'way to Lontdon. They
sought some means of commemorating the-
deaths of their friends. In London in 1941 stu-
dents from Britain, Russia, China, America andI
underground groups in conquered nations dedi-
cated November 17 as International.. Students
Day.
TODAY, INTERNATIONAL Students Day, is a
day of dedication for students, throughout
the world. Students and teachers everyWhere.
who have been affected by the vicious attack of
the fascists on free democratic education will be
remembered.", We, the students who are yet free,
pledge ourselves, in observing this day, to devote
all our energies to! the winning of the war and
the peace.
We,- who are students in a free democracy,
must work so that, in the words of the Inter-
national Students Council: "November 17, 1944,
will be joyfully celebrated in the streets of Paris
and Peiping, of Kiev, Warsaw and Belgrade, of
Brussels, Amsterdam, Athens and Prague.''

t We've got to be; its not a matter of choice.
We've got to find the answers. We know the

cradles and while teaching us to wash behind
our ears. The questions that grew out of World
War I, out of the boom that followed . . our
parents asked them o,, the Black Friday of the
stock market crash, and the Saturday of the
Bank Holiday. They asked them' when the
NIRA, AAA, WPA, CCC", IYA, FHA were born.
They asked them until they were sobusy asking'
that they couldn't find the answers.
They didn't see-that they had-only so much
time to find the- solutions. They forgot that
some day an alarm clock would go off: time's
' up! They -looked aron- so1ehat aimless-
ly;soretMes - r etlessy-yes, they looked for
the answers. But not soon enough; not hard
enough; not practically enough. Each took his
* lofe candle and searched alone for the light.
They weren't in the- hurry that we are in. -;We
are fighting World War I. We are talking about
post-war prdblebns. - We are studying, interna-
tional cartels, race discrimination, political cor-
ruption; labor-management committees, chronic
industrial slack, the foreign policy of the State
Department;' the American Fascists who much
prefer a Hitler victory to a recognition of Rus-
siW's part in Allied plamiing.

I'd Rather
Be Right
By SAMUEL GRAFTo
The price for a square meal in occupied Europe
today is revolution against the Nazis, or a rea-
sonably exact facsimile. The new United Nations
relief organization, which Mr. Lehman heads, is
willing to feed Europe on those terms, for that
price.
But Mr. Herbert Hoover, persisting in his ef-
forts to feed the hungry peopleQf Europe at
Once; demands that we ifurnish food without re-
quiring any price
BETWEEN THE MILESTONES
What would happen if we accepted Mr.
Hoover's plan? We would then use Swiss and
Swedish agents ,operating throughout the coii-
quered countries, to succor starving women and
children. We would ease their lot, certainly, and
we would relieve the minds of their husbands,
their sons, and also of their Nazi puppet rulers.
At the same time we would be hard at work in
the skies, bombing day and night, in an attempt
to bring about exactly the opposite effects. We
would have one great organization, our air forces,
killing non-combatants as well as combatants,
doing its uttermost to reduce European morale,
to itcrease European tensions, to destroy trans-
port, which is the same as destroying food and
clothing. Simultaneously, under the Hoover con-
ception, we would have another great organiza-
tion bringing in food, soothing unrest, and post-
poning the breaking point. Mr. Hoover's pro-
posal, for all its weighty humanitarianism, would
actually grind the people of Europe between
upper and nether millstones; postponing both
victory through force, and victory through revolt.
IT DOES NOT STAND ALONE
It is a horrid thing to say that food should not
be sent to any women and any children, any-
where. But Mr. Hoover's trouble is that he dis-
entangles -this one horror from all the horrors
of war, then fascinates himself contemplating
it, as it stands all alone. But it does not stand
alone. It stands in a field of horrors, of which
air bombardment is one, and of which the
scorched earth policy, by which Russia rendered
millions of its own people homeless and hungry,
is another. Do we deny food to French women
and children? So does every French patriot who
blows up a railroad line, or who sabotages a
powerhouse. He thereby helps to starve and
freeze his own, and he does it (and this is no
paradox, though it sounds like one) because that
is the quickest way to end a situation in which
his own are freezing and starving
The Russians denifd thW German soldiers
houses in which to sleep during winter, at the
heavy cost of burning those houses, and freez-
ing their own people. The French underground
works- day and night to disorganize the econ-
omic life of France, destroying factories, dis-
rupting the rationing system, blowing up
mines; though it knows that the immediate
cost is tsore suffering for France. What is
sabotage except a delayed scorched-earth
policy?'
Those horrors are committed by men who hate
horrors, and as the only end to horror. It is into
the presence of these great forces, moving to
their speedy climax, that Mr. Hoover would in-
trude with hismoralities and ameliorations',
HOW TO END HOR R
But I wonder if Mr. Hoover understands that
the Russians,,who burnt their villages, were real-

S ANTI-POLL ta bill has al-
readyr been passed by the House
and is now up for consideration in
the Senate. There's no- doubt ingny
mind but that it Vill be passed in
the Senate too providing a vote is
taken.
And that is the wrench in the
machinery. There is a-'democratie'

ority to keep any bill tihey. dislike

that everyone write to his Senator to

allotted to discussion. And ask him
to be certain .to be present when the
vote is called, and of course to vote
for ;the bill, HR.7.
In order to make our democracy

it is very important tht the Alnti-

which subordinates "inferior races"-
how -can we reconcile the loss of our
boys for such principles with- our
lethargy to rid our own country of
such similar practices. Let's really
keep the home tires burning.

Strict Enforcement of
Anti-Strike Bill Needed
WITH ALL FOUR employer members and three
public members of the War Labor Board un-
officially advocating stricter control over labor
unions, it may be expected that Congress will
take up the matter shortly.
John L. Lewis was the first to breach the
line and force an Administrative surrender.
Now several other groups are following in his
footsteps. M1ore than 1,0O0,000 non-operating
railway. employees are preparing to take a
strike vote which will result in the probable
authorizatIon of a work- stoppage. A general
CIO move to break the Littre Steel Formula
seems to b in "the making with the United
Steel Workers leading in the effort. Officials
of the herieaft Federation of Labor are l4ok-'
ing in the same direction.
The weakness of the Smith-Connally Act, a
make-shift sort of colnpr'omise in the first place,
is becoming more and more apparent as- the
labor situation bebomes more and more critical.
The outstanding flaw in the Act is that its pro-
visions for strike prohibition are not- effective
until after the Government has taken over the
industry. concerned. Government seizure for
the purpose of dealing with strikes-is an injustice
to employers who bear the brunt of government
punishment, rather than the strikers.
