ZERO HOUR:
Bdadoglio Must Decide
Road for Italians Soon
IN THE short week that has elapsed since Il
Duce fell from his throne, the Allies have
looked for a peace settlement with the Badoglio
government.
The situation of the Italians in seeking
peace is much more complicated than it would
appear at first glance. While the mobs clamor
for peace in all sectors and Italian troops
clash with reinforced German divisions in
Northern=Italy, Badoglio and his aides are
trying desperately to maintain law and order,
and perhaps even to refuse peace terms.
The reason for the government's continued
resistance against the Allies is principally that
Italian neutrality would be almost as dangerous
to the Germans as active warfare against them.
THE GERMANS know this, and are not doing
a very good job of concealing the fact. They
have been rushing troops to Italy, seizing all
available Italian goods and have taken over the
revolting port cities of Fiume and Trieste in
anticipation of Italian capitulation.
Therefore the new Italian leaders are caught
between three choices, each one promising little
more than the other from the Italian point of
view.-
In the first place, they may continue as a
third-rate Axis power, using their own meagre
supplies and troops to halt 'the onslaught of the
Allies as long as possible and in so doing keep
the Germans from seizing Northern Italy out-
right. But Badoglio knows that any such action
on the part of the government will result in a
violent revolt throughout the whole of Italy. In
such an event, which is sure to be bloody and
devastating to Italy, any party may take power.
I NOTHER solution open to Italy is to accept
- ethe unconditional surrender terms, lay open
_t e country to the mercy of Allied leaders and
maintain a neutral status. This is what the
Italian people want, but it means an open invita-
tion to Germany to seize the northern sectors.
The remaining course open to the Italians
is active participation on the Allied side. If
the reports of Italo-German fighting can be
believed, this is more than a mere possibility.
Although the Italian military strength is very
weak, the import of all-out Italian aetion
against the German troops in Italy cannot
be ignored. It's easier for two men to lift a
bale than it is for one, even if one man is
minus an arm. The Italians may force this
decision on Badoglio should the Germans
overrun their country, much as they want
peace.
Whatever the decision, it must not be long in
coming. Neither the Germans nor the Italian
people will wait. -Claire Sherman

"THOSE HAVING only immediate ends crack
up," said an Army physician recently when
asked if the consideration of the ideal
order has any place in the experience of a good
soldier. Many have never been taught to focus
attention on what ought to be, but rather have
been trained to focus attention upon attainable
reality. They have been schooled to the main
chance. According to Immanuel Kant, the ideal
has a certain dynamic quality. He spoke of the
ought and claimed for it both drive and even-
ness. According to that theory, youth are rested
of mind and body by turning from strict duty to
the kind of a world man should have.
. Students who for the past two years have
wrestled with the aims of the war and the pos-
sibilities of a lasting peace are keeping them-
selves in fighting fitness. They debate the na-
ture of the war's settlement, the type of social
order democracy should evolve, the applica-
tion to our home base of all the improvements
we promise to the peoples being liberated, the
global significance of our technical skill and
the necessity of scope for man's new-found
economy, In this practice, they are acting re-
ligiously.
WE ARE impressed not alone by the lads in
uniform at a killing academic program and
their fellows who are yonder in Sicily, but by
our post-war crusaders, the debators in Church.
guilds, student promoters of race understanding
and The Daily revoluntionists. Very few of these
students ever associate their present perform-
ance with religiousness or would care to have
this drive for what ought to be identified with a
church or called an expression of the immortal
God. They are pursuing values; hammering out
patterns, projecting modes of behavior and
achieving a spiritual reality which outruns their
present grasp. The soul identifies itself with the
ideal for mankind. This is satisfying. It is in
very essence religious, just because it transcends
the ego.
The worth of these adventures of the mind
to the persons concerned is the significant
factor. Given adequate guidance in the realm
of fact and the smile, if not the love, of those
who have moved through similar experiences
before them, these youth will transcend the
strife, the cost, the sense of defeat and the
literal shame which besets their sensitive souls
as they live in a warring epoch,
The ought in the case of these youth should
become a social therapy. The actual in its ap-
patent effort to "caving in on" the soul will find
itself arrested. Stubborn imponderables will
succumb to growing convictions within the per-
son. Fear may thus be overcome and these per-
sons should be able to go forward in a new sense
of worth and completeness. Such persons will
not crack up and in the years beyond our decade
of struggle when called upon to man homes,
alma mater, institutions of culture and society
itself, such citizens will be quick to understand
and sure to act.

LOSING FIGHT:
OP Ceilings Must lBe
HeldTo ~opInflation
rTHE FIGHT against inflation will be lost be-
fore it has really begun unless price control
is continued and enforced.
Waging a war against rising prices, the OPA
appears to have been beaten because their
price eeilings have so far not been enforced.
The current investigations in Detroit have re-
vealed that in that city alone food prices are
frequently as much as twice the ceiling set
by the OPA.
What good is a system of price control with-
out enforcement?(
WHEREIS more money to spend in this coun-
try now than there has been since 1929. War
workers who have for years barely been able to
live are now making enormous wages that they
want to spend. As there is a scarcity of almost

all goods, prices are going to go up and up unless
ceilings lre enforced.
The OPA is the most useless of the Presi-
dential organizations now strangling business
men with red tape unless it is given the addi-
tional powers to enforce its present limited
authority.
The trials and tribulations that the various
OPA directors have gone through in the past
months to make their bureau a sensible and
necessary war measure have demonstrated clear-
ly that no OPA at a is better than a part-time
organization.
AS LONG as wages rise, and labor demands
still more pay increases, the problem of infla-
tion is going to become more and more acute.
One way to stem this approaching tide is by
stabilization of wages, another coordinate neces-
sity is subsidation to keep prices down, and the
last method is strict price control along with the
subsidy plan.
We have a certain amount of inflation now,
and we will have more and more unless the
above measures are taken.
When the OPA not only sets price ceilings,
but is given the power and reach to enforce them
throughout the country, then the fight against
inflation will have really begun. Now the battle

DREW
PEARSON'S
MERRY-GO-ROUND
WASHINGTON-Twenty years ago almost to
the month, this columnist, then a very young
newspaperman, interviewed Benito Mussolini,
then a very young dictator.
Il Duce at that time was relatively fresh in of-
fice. He was at the peak of his popularity. Italy
thrives on drama, and Mussolini was the matinee
idol. To criticize him, was rank heresy inside
Italy, even unpopular outside Italy. People said
he would inuugurate a new era, a new type of.
government which would replace outmoded de-
mocracy. Mussolini could do no wrong.
I advanced over a stretch of floor that seemed
endless. The man at the desk pretended to con-
centrate on papers before him. Suddenly he
bounced up, shook hands, and before I had
time to open my mouth, plunged into the inter-
view.
"Is Germany finished with Communism?" f
asked.
"No, Germany has much to go through with
yet. Communism," he continued, "is a spasm
which convulses a nation and leaves it feeling
better for the experience. Men and women suffer
changes in their lives. So do nations."
Il Duce did not realize at that time-twenty
years ago- how prophetic he was. Perhaps to-
day, as he sits forlorn, he realizes it.
In response to another question, I Duce
went on to tell how he had brought prices
down in Italy, an experience somewhat similar
to FDR'S current problems of the price roll-
back. Only Mussolini used different methods.
"Prices must come down, I told my people-
by force if necessary. Next morning my black
shirts appeared in the market place and they
forced the prices down."
"Is is still necessary to use force in reforming
Italy?" I asked.
"No," was his decisive reply, "force has not
accomplished as much as the spirit of sacrifice."
Perhaps if Mussolini had stuck to that last
statement Italy would not have used force to
conquer Ethiopia, would not have shattered
the peace machinery of the League, would not
have headed the world toward war, and today
he would not be a friendless, despised, lonely
old man.

*. While We Watch ..
Huzzah for Hollywood.,..
HOLLYWOOD deserves some sort of special
recognition lately. They're actually produc-
ing movies that even opinionated columnists
deign to comment on.
Pictures like Citizen Kane, The Magnificient
Ambersons, Mission to Moscow, possibly For
Whom The Bell Tolls, and one I saw yesterday,
The Ox-Bow Incident, mark impressive steps in
the movie industry's process of becoming part of
the American education system. It's importance
as an educational organ lies in the fact that it
can reach an adult audience which smugly con-
siders its formal education completed, but
which sadly needs many a confused issue clari-
fied.
Movies can act, with a dramatic appeal and
a lucidity that no book or newspaper can cap-
ture, to give the great bulk of Americans a
sensible and lasting standard to go by in de-
ciding the problems they pass over now as just
too confusing, seemingly too impossible for
the average mind to grasp securely. It can
provide an ideal antidote for the frightening
disease of indecision which finally makes us
all too easily shy away from any thinking
about matters that concern us most.
Take the Ox Bow affair. Instead of treating
the lynching as one sidelight in a saga of the

plains, as most western flickers do, it makes
lynching the story, the issue which must be
faced.. That's a brave step in itself. Hollywood
risks taking a lot of kickback from the Solid
South which still isn't adverse to a good lynching
party even in these modern times. Lynching is
a touchy subject down there in many places.
That's exactly why this movie is so valuable..
Perhaps many who see it up north, in met-
ropolitan areas won't see much in the story.
But if the picture is given wide distribution in
rural and particularly southern districts,
where perhaps people who have had something
to do with lynchings before will see it, it will
give rise to a great deal of thought, and per-
haps some serious conscience probing.
That may sound like embracing the noble na-
ture of man with too open arms, but I don't be-
lieve it is. I feel that mob atrocities are the re-
sult of plain unthinking, perhaps emotional con-
fusion, which the small minds and fevered tem-
pers of a few willful men can harness into blind
action.
The whole theme is simple, easily under-
standable. But it implies great truths, and
with a dramatic realism that gives them life.
It shows those who felt lynching is wrong, but
who weren't sure that going against the mob
was the smart thing, as fine examples of in-
decision, confusion. It brings home neatly that
their honestly-felt convictions were right, that
they should have spoken them out, that think-
ing is not a painful process to be substituted
with the false haven of emotion.
People who see. this picture, if they have any
