Hitler Loses Italy
THE visit of Pope Pius XII to the Quirinal, the
first in some 70 years, is of importance of
course.
But the visit next week of Mussolini to the Vati
can, is of more importance.
For ever since the formation of the post-war
dictatorships, the Catholic Church, and other
churches, have been friendly enough with their var
ious governments.
But the various governments have most decided
ly not been friendly with the Catholic church, and
churches. In Russia and Germany, in fact there has
been open warfare, between the religious and secular
branches, with practical liquidation for the estab
lished religion, in the land of the Soviets.
UVEN Mussolini started out this way. He too ac
"cepted the theory, that in establishing a totalitarian
government, there could be no division of authority.
The state had to be EVERYTHING or NOTHING.
And under the heading -of everything came relig
ion, not God but the state had to be worshipped.
But clever opportunist, and shrewd statesman
that he is, Benito soon realized that in Italy, at least,
any government, that declared war on Catholicism
soon faced a country divided into two warring camps.
So he formed a working agreement with the Vatican,
as he did with the King, realizing he couldn't beat
them, he joined them.
The call of King Victor Emanuele on the Pope, a
few days ago ; the call of the Pope on the King yes
terday, to be followed by II Duce's visit to the Vatican
a few days hence; shows how successfully the com
promise has worked.
jyjOREVER this sealing of the bonds of the Italian
1T1 triumvirate, renders any military alliance be
tween Hitler and Mussolini, even less likely than it
has been, since the present war started, which is
equivalent to saying it has been reduced to approxi
mately, if not absolute, zero.
For while II Duce still isn't going to take any
chances becoming involved with the losine- side, this
domestic consolidation, with King and Church, both
mortal enemies of Russian Communism, renders any
involvement with Nazism extremely remote.
in iact only a sudden and smashing victory by
Hitler and Stalin, over England and France, could
ever bring about such a complete reversal of policy,
and all evidence points to exactly the reverse result
at the present writing.
Thus the isolation of Nazi Germany grows I

THE TRAGIC TOUCH
In the operating room a doc
tor, if he is adequately trained,
as well as in the sickroom
where infec
tious or con
tagious disease
is present, is
ever conscious
of fomites
(plural of
f o m e s, pro
nounced fom-i-tez),
that is,
sub stances,
sur faces or
things which
may possibly
be contamin
ated or polluted or infected or
visibly or invisibly soiled by
virus or germs of disease and
hence may be the medium or
means of spreading infection.
This scrupulous, meticulous,
conscientious care in conduct or
manner can be learned only by
actual practice under competent
instructors. It is part of the
training of physicians, surgeons
and nurses. It is called aseptic
technique. Asepsis means a
state of freedom from disease
germs. In an aseptic environ
ment the endeavor is to keep
things as nearly as possible
sterile, free from germs. This
is as different from "antiseptic
precautions" as good nutrition
or good dentistry Is from the
rite of brushing the teeth.
Contrary to a common belief,
there is nothing in the dressing
or medicament a doctor applies
to wounds to promote healing.
Certainly no antiseptic agent
has such virtue. It is a distor
tion of the truth to imply that
an antiseptic remedy even
"helps" or "aids" healing. The
truth is that at best an antiseptic
can only prevent delay in the
normal healing process in cer
tain circumstances. If you pre
fer to think that this effect is
virtually promotion of healing,
all right, it's a free country.
But for my wounds, burns or
other lesions, no antiseptics, if
you please. I prefer aseptic
treatment, simple cleanliness
plus rest, scientific neglect or
intelligent let-alone.
No, children, there is no
magic touch in the healing
business. Ah, but there is the
antithesis of it, the tragic touch,

Washington, Dec. 29. Des
pite John Nance Garner's
shrewd handling of his position,
the vice-presidency is not an of
fice to attract a normal man.
Garner himself did not want it,
and only consented to accept the
nomination in 1932 because
there was no other way to swing
his rebellious Texans into line
for Roosevelt. Thus, it is ex
tremely curious to see the vice
presidency being played with
as though it were one of the
biggest counters in the political
game.
The new dealera, for example, hope
to use It aa the blue chip of their
third term movement. House Ma
jority Leader Sam Rayburn Is their
choice for the office. They want him
because they Imagine thst. with Ray
burn second on the ticket. Rayburn's
friend and patron, Gamer, might
be Induced to accept renewed top
billing for the president.
The scheme has a good deal of
surface Ingenuity. Rayburn Is a
wise, tolerant fellow who haa man
agrd to get on with all factions In
the party feuds. The new dealers
have a great liking for him, remem
bering how well ha worked, hand In
hand with the team of Corcoran and
Cohen, to put over the securities and
exchange acts and the' public utilities
holding company act.
At the same time, he Is darner's
particular protege, served aa Garner
floor-leader In the 1933 convention,
and will serve asaln In the same
capacity In 190. Being from Texas,
he would give representation on the
ticket to the south, where the con
servative Democrats are atrongrst.
Beneath the surface, the scheme
has obvious bugs. In the first place,
there Is no reason to auppose, aa yet.
that Rayburn wants to be vice presi
dent. In the second, there Is no
solid foundation for the supposition
that Garner would abandon his antl
thlrd term stand In order to make
a deal In Rayburn's favor. In the

whether the Garner type of conven

taken by doctor and nurse to
prevent infection, either the
contamination of a clean wound

Every doctor and every nurse
who has had proper training in

Postmaster General James A. Parley
will accept the vice-presidential nom
ination In return for throwing hla
support to Secretary of State Cordell
Hull for president. Jim Parley has
as hard a head as any man in
politics.
He is fully aware of the obstacles
In the way of hla own presidential
candidacy, among which the most
Important are his religion, his build
up as a strictly practical politician
and the probable attitude of the
White House. At the same time, he
has the experience and the following
to make something real of the vice
presidency, Just aa Garner has.
Altogether, a Hull-Parley ticket la
an obvloua bet. Hull will have no
great atrength In delegates, but. If
he survives the attack on hla trade
agreement policy, the convention
will see him as the biggest figure
In the Roosevelt cabinet. Even the
new dealera now pushing for the
third term acknowledge that Hull
would be an acceptable second-best
candidate.
There la no question that he meets
the specification for a candidate
always laid down by Parley, being
a man whose nomination the presi
dent could not help but approve.
He Is also close to Garner. Parley
and Garner will have the biggest
groups of delegates, and for them
to get behind Hull would be easy
Indeed. While he would miss the
nomination himself, Oarner would
have the satisfaction of seeing the
ticket headed by two men he likes
and admires Immensely.
The Oarner forces, meanwhile, are
looking around for a suitable vlce
presldentlal possibility of their own.
As Gamer la known as a conserva
tive and not loved by labor, they
want a strong liberal with a 100 per
cent labor record.
Overtures are reported to have
been made to Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, who fllla the bill admirably.
Wheeler Is a presidential candidate
himself, however, and the word Is
he was not Interested. Now there
are slightly surprising rumors that
the Garnerltes are courting New
York's bustling Mayor Plorello H.
LaOuardla.
Nrir does this exhaust the list.
Both Justice William O. Douglas and
Prospective Justice Prank Murphy
have been mentioned as the presi
dent's running mate if he attempts
a third term race. The brash federal
security administrator. Paul V. Mc
Nutt. might be glad to settle for the
vtce-preetdency now that his presl
dentlsl bandwagon seems to have
stalled.
A whole covey of Democratic gov

Communications
Peace On Earth
To the editor:
North, east, south, and west,
and in every corner of the civ
ilized world, we, the people,
look forward to the 25th of
December, to do homage, pay
tribute and respect the memory
of the most reverent and wisest
of men.
Last Christmas day He had
been 1,939 years conceived on
earth and we need not look
much farther than ourselves to
realize why He sacrificed His
life. Look about you, and at
yourselves and then ask "Was
His sacrifice worth it?" Look
again and what do you see that
may in the least be in accord
ance with His teachings and
laws?
Can we say that we are in
accordance with Him in our
despair, self-pity, vanity and
fear? These are . not what He
wanted us to portray.
I do not condemn any fpe
cific human, but do beseach
those more fortunate to help
those who are in need; give
to these people, do take not
away what little they have.
If we do these things, then
we are not in violation of His
laws of life and on the com
ing Christmas, He will be
pleased and say "These are my
people. They are not lovers of
themselves, boasters and liars.
They are thankful and obedient
and show natural love for their
parents in their old age. They
also are not truce-breakers and
accusers of one another.
. These things he will see and
the transformation will lead
him to say: "Men are soft and
kind, whereas they were fierce
and hard; they despise not those
who are good and intellectual,
they are not headstrong, and
loving pleasure more than their
loved one and my Father, and
they do not think themselves
too powerful to fear God and
show love for him, therefore
fearing His power."
But in a larger sense if we
do not live up to His expecta
tion there is but one alernative,
"the destruction of the world;"
with distress of nations; men's
hearts failing them for fear.
Nation shall rise against nation
and kingdom against kingdom.
People will starve and earth
quakes shall put forth their de
struction. The things He spoke about
are now obvious fact. The world
today is on the verge of a crisis,
never equaled before. To avoid
it we must resolve to share
alike; the poor and the rich,
the weak and the strong, the
good and the bad and the young
and the old, and in that way
we can never forget that "God
must have loved the common
people He made so many of
them."
Jerry M. Tarantino.
Ring Out the False, Ring in
the True.
To the editor:
Considering the present-day
situation and the conflicts of the
past year, the words of Alfred
Tennyson have never been more
pertinent or timely. They merit,
we think, careful rereading, and
in the interest of their fulfill
ment we would urge their re
printing. "Ring out, wild bells, to the
wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty
light,
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let
him die.
"Ring out the old, ring In the
new.
Ring, happy bells, across the
snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the
true.
"Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party
strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer
laws.
"Ring out false pride in place
and blood,
The civic slander and the spite:
Ring in the love of truth and
right.
Ring in the common love of
good.
"Ring out old shapes of foul
disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust for
gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of
old.
Ring in the thousand years of
peace."
Rudolph I. Coffee,
1945 Broadway,
San Francisco.
Is Russia "Freeing" Finland?
To the Editor:
To paraphrase a little: 40,
000.000 Americans can be
wrong. The reason why that
large number are not "all wet"
on some important points is be
cause a few more than that
have not read your editorial
"Brothers Under The Skin", in
Dec. 5 issue. The points raised
are only half truths.
Hitler wants peace not be
cause "he got what he wanted"
as you say. He got only half
what he wanted. And Stalin got
nothing: i.e. material, noth
ing to exploit. However, he did
free some 8.000,000 people from
predatory economics, which is
something of great importance.
Stalin supported Hitler's bid
for peace because peace pushes
the people into action against
predatory economics helps it
along "on its way out" Immeas
urably better and faster than
i does war. This fact explains why
collective security, which Rus
sia has been working for
' the past few years was shot to
pieces by the pseudo -democra-
If Nazism a to stand it must
expand. If the pseudos are to
continue on their old base they
must not contract. If Russia (and i
society as a whole) is to main- j
tain, predatory economics must;
go. It has served its nistoricai.
mission, and like everytning eise
in nature, it must charge into
something else or suffer annihi
lation. This universal law the
'God inspired" politically am
bitious Martin Dies will find
un-American and the laws more
or less conscious agents espec
ially and all of us will suffer.
But not being god, it is hard to
see how he can repeal it.
The "thrust to the east"
against anti-predatory econom
ics, misnamed communism, is
definitely out. The thrust
through Finland is in. This, it is
believed, is the key to the un
derstanding of the world's ca
tastrophic condition as now ob
tains. Stormy days ahead.
R. Hegner,
Gold Hill, Dec. 27.

T-OUGH little Finland con-

CECRETARY of Commerce
Hopkins, in a year-end pep
talk, says: "1939 has been a
better year than 1938 in all
sections of our country indus
try, trade and agriculture."
Let's not forget that in 1938
there has been much less razz
ing of business by New Deal
cranks.
(Personal note: This writer
doesn't believe that ALL New
Dealers are cranks. The per
centage, unfortunately, runs too
high.)
CECRETARY Hopkins adds a
sober second thought: "The
United States can't rely upon
DESTRUCTION ABROAD to
create a demand for goods."
True words. Prosperity can't
grow in the sou of waste and
destruction.
A LONG that line, the interna-
tional labor office, located
in Geneva, announces after s
survey that hundreds of thou
sands have been added to the
ranks of the jobless in Europe
during these first few months
of the war.
Taking millions of men Into
the armies, plus a boom i
the war industries, can't offset
losses in employment resulting
from trade restrictions and the
closing down of peace-time in
dustries.
No one should EVER be so
foolish as to permit himself to
think that war helps business.
(War, like pump-priming,
merely provides a shot in the
arm. A shot in the arm is
almost sure to bring on a head
ache.) THE international labor office
1 adds that the United States
and Canada, alone among the
countries , studied, show de
creases in unemployment dur
ing the war months.
Don't fool yourself about even
that. For every dollar of war
made prosperity coming to the
United States and Canada, there
will be two dollars of grief after
the war ends.
WASTE MAKES WANT and
war is waste.
