JUST WONDERIN’ .
] wonder, since I] Duce took
His Humpty-Dumpty fall,
Where are the little high heeled boots
That made him seem so tall.
His memory we cannot bless,
His power fades away,
And where now are the little boots
That hid his feet of clay?
I wonder what reception will be awaiting for the next imposter who proclaims himself'a super-man and attempts to
seize the reins of power and lord it over his fellow-men.
Liberty loving Italy has had a most severe lesson in dictatorship during two decades past. When once liberated from
the yoke of the Nazis it is inconceivable that she would: submit to any future creature who rides up to designate himself
‘the Heaven appointed ruler of her people.
Italy now has a Herculean task to perform—that is, unless she wishes to see the allies perform it for her. The entire
country must be freed from Nazism and’ thoroughly fumigat-ed. Rome cannot be called the Holy City so long as it is a Nazi
run-way and supply depot. No one desires the destruction of
treasures of time and art, but the Italians must see to it that
their cherished possessions are not found in bad company.
It is to be hoped that the spirit of Garabaldi will awaken
and lead the Italian people in this, their hour of decision, and
that “‘the boot’’, will perform its legitimate function.
I wonder, as the time for congress to reconvene draws
near, if our astute representatives will hasten to reapeal the;
Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Chinese have proved fitness to be placed on equality
‘with citizens of other nations against whom no exclusion act
was ever. passed. The designated quota is small and we shall
not be discommoded by the presence of our friends, the Chinese, especially when we have returned a few boat loads’ of
Japs to their, oh so sorry land of the declining sun. The Chinese exclusion act has fulfilled its mission—if ‘it ever had one,
in the light of present day events and increasing understanding and tolerance, it clanks its chains and gibbers. It should be
relegated to the limbo of oblivion—at once.
I wonder why so many people seem intent upon making
a bogie man of Marshall Stalin. What if he doesn’t attend the
conferences? You wouldn't go dashing off to a_ director's}
meeting if your house was on fire—now would you?
Uncle Silas says‘ “] don’t know about the little high
heeled boots; ‘but I venture to assert that one might find a
plaster cast of Mussolini’s outstanding chin in Mayor La<Guardia’s chamber of horrors.’” —A. Merriam Conner
FDR’S BEWILDERMENT
In his last radio talk, the president said:
“I confess that . myself am sometimes bewildered by
conflicting statements that . see in the press. One day . read
an ‘authoritative’ statement that we shall win the war this
year, 1943—and the next day comes another statement
equally ‘authoritative’ that the war will still be going on in
1949.”
The president could have given plenty of additional examples of this confusion.
_ But it should be remembered that the newspaper reporters do not make up these conflicting statements. They merely do an honest reporting job of telling what those in power in
Washington have to say. It is discouraging to the press to
have to report one day that gasoline rationing will be relaxed
and the next day that it will tightened. But it is the duty of the
‘press to publish both reports if both come from men who are
supposed to be in authority.
It is obvious, therefore, that confusion in newspaper
‘headlines will end on the same day that Washington officials
end their disagreements and reach an accord on_ problems
which are of interest to the public. .
. POST-WAR IDEAS NEEDED
In Washington, in most of the major cities, and among
industrial groups there are countless committees and organizations which are working on the complicated subject of postwar planning. What plan will win out and how the plans of
various groups will be correlated is still a question, but in all
the post-war planning there is a notable absence of suggestions
coming from farm and rural areas.
When the war is over, the prosperity of the nation may
well hinge on the working arrangement that is set. up between
industry and the farmers, and the government and farmers. If
the post-war plans are worked out to give farmers the opportunity to operate at a reasonable profit the possibilities of a
major depression will be lessened. .
_ * Since farmers, and the small businesses in rural areas,
will play such an important part in determining post-war conditions, it is essential that they give more thought than they
have given so far to the problem of what they want and what
they can reasonably expect after the war. ~
