What they did in Italy
in Europe.
It is coiner to take time.
General Eisenhower predicted last New Year's Day.
But at least as this typewriter strategist sees it,
it is bound to be done and the campaign in Italy
proves it.
So in the direction of morale the capture of Rome
is of tremendous value and importance.
IN the direction of sentiment, particularly in Italy,
nationally and spiritually, the defeat of the Ger
mans at Rome is a knockout blow.
Not only does this mean an entirely new govern
ment for Italy but a government that is going to repre
sent the Italian people, as no government has in mod
ern Italian history.
This too may take some time. But as we view it,
it is inevitable, Fascism and Imperialism went out

So from the standpoint of morale and sentiment,
including religion of course, the capture of Rome
is the most important allied victory since the Anglo
American triumph in North Africa.
DUT unlike the victory in North Africa, the military
results are of no outstanding importance.
The German army is still intact in Italy. Probably
all in all it is as capable of stiff resistance now as it
was six months ago. There have been heavy losses in

But it has driven the Germans out of Africa, made
Egypt, the Suez, and the Mediterranean safe for the
allies, and supplied an invaluable base, air, sea and
land, for the final allied drive on Berlin.
Rome is Spared
Why was Rome spared the tragic fate of Naples?
For only one reason, as we see it Because for
ONCE someone in the German High Command had
some sense.
Undoubtedly the fall of Rome could have been
delayed for weeks, perhaps months, if the Ger
mans had decided to fight to the death for it. A house-to-house
resistance particularly by using the historical
and relijrious centers and
aries for guns and troops,
a hard nut to crack, from the allied standpoint
But the Germans presumably decided, all things
considered, such resistance
could possjbly be worth.
IN this they were right

would never have forgotten or forgiven such a
desecration.
What little respect and
people have left would have been wiped out in many
parts of the world for generations, perhaps ages.
And eventually the capital
center of the Catholic world would, have fallen to
superior allied power and might anyway.
Finally it is barely possible the past year or con
stant retreats and defeats, contributed something to
this more enlightened and chastened Nazi attitude.
For,
"The devil was sick. the devil MONK would be!"
Hearing vs. Heeding
The neatest trick of the week is called for in an
order by Adolf Hitler to all German military leaders.
The order informed the commanders that any allied
surprise in the opening stages of the forthcoming
invasion "must be prevented at all costs." The only
way in which the nazis can completely eliminate
the element of surprise is to discover the exact nature
of the allied plans.
If that is the meaning of the Hitler order, it calls
for quite a lot of doing. It means solving the most
carefully guarded secret of the war. It's an order the
German military leaders unquestionably would like
to obey. But willingness to obev and actual obedience
are two different things.

out convincing
explanation be
cause both par
ties refused to

v a t e 1 y. The
common Inter
pretation that
Mr. Roosevelt
Paul Mallon
was burying
the bones of
old antagonism to get a campaign
understanding with Wheeler
was a natural deduction, but ob
viously the least of any story.
Mr. Roosevelt called Wheeler
down to get him to take the lead
ership of the international com
munications settlement, the dis
position of cable and radio rights.
But this hardly reflected presi
dential altruism.
Wheeler is chairman of the
senate Interstate commerce com

tlement legislation must go, and

ng results. A resolution Is rjend-
ing before his committee for an
investigation of the subject tu
determine a policy, but no con
sideration has been given it yet.
Whatever leadership Wheeler is
to assume apparently is to be
modest and unhurried.
This is not necessarily a per
sonal matter. The administra
tion's federal communications
chairman, Fly, if not the presi
dent, wants a worldwide post
war monopoly for communica
tions. All would be under one
company, privately owned, but
under government control. The
domestic wire conditions are In
that state since the Postal-West-ern
Union merger.
Wheeler's liberalism (he ran
with the elder LaFollette for the
presidency, you know) might
well make hi mhesitate, al
though he handled the W. U.
Postal merger on the grou.id that
such competition was financial
ly deteriorating and likely to be
fatal.
However. In a democratic
state, competition Is the Indis
pensable necessity for protection
of the consumer. Monopolies
such as that of the Aluminum
Company of America caused the
povernment to go Into the alu
minum business during this war.
The anti-trust act has been recog
nized as a good law for nearly
tnree decades.
To protect the consumer In
this Instance, Fly proposes gov
ernment control, an Increasing
ly familiar device. But the con
sumer has not always been able
to get satisfactory protection
from government control, noth
ing like the protection offered
by hard competition.
'
UMitK service always was
available to the public on
competing western railroads than
on non-competing eastern roads
carrying more traffic, and all
were under complete govern
ment control through the Inter
state commerce commission. The
Postal for years had a slogan
somewhat like this:
"Remember what telegraph
service was before Postal came
into the field" against Western
Union. It was a good advertis
ing slogan, because everyone
knew the service had been rot
ten. Whether the people can get as
much out of a government-controlled
monopoly (with all Its
Inner possibilities) than out of
honest competition for public fa
vor and public business. Is
something about which the pub
lic can have little'doubt in view
of Its experience ,'the public not
oeing immediately concerned
with the issue of whether com
peting services can make money
or how much). This used to be
true liberalism.
But now the unauthentirated
oretrnders to liberal leadrrshlp
increasingly favor mormnolv un
der government auspices which
seems to be far less In the public
merest if not more in their
own.
VOU can get both sides of the
president's health storv here.
Most of the aired versions have
been flavored with ranklr no
ticeable political Intentions, the
Democrats claiming that any
question nt Mr. Roosevelt's per
sonal acuity or desire to go on.
Is Just an Innuendo concocted
by those naughty, naughty Re
publicans. ihe published material, how
ever, has come mostly from the
White House, stoutly defending
Mr. Roosevelt's physical eager
ness to do battle with anyone.
One Democratic senator, who
spent some time with the presi
dent last week, expressed sur
prise at his loss of weight, al
teration of appearance, and
thought him tired.
Congressional guesses of the
president's loss run up to 20
pounds. Other Democratic con
gressmen, who have sat close

READY 10 HELP
ALLIESJN D-DAY
Clandestine Front Biting at
German Back for Four
Years; Many Nazis Slain.
(French underground forces,
well organized and numbering
more than 1,000,000 persons,
stand ready to aid the Allies
on D-Day, Ralph Heinzen, for
mer United States press direc
tor for France, writes in the
following dispatch. Heinzen, In
terned by the Germans, has re
turned to the United States in
one of the diplomatic ex
changes.)
By Ralph Keinien
United French underground
Is a hard reality, clandestine
force which has been biting at
the German back for four years.
Its present mobilized strength
is 320,000 well-armed militants
and a million or more "reserv
ists" at the disposal of the Al
lied High Command for D-Day.
As long ago as August 1941,
I saw the underground in its
first offensive the slaying of
German soldiers and officers on
the blacked out streets of occu
pied Paris.
Escapes Aided
Until my arrest in Vichy the
day the American forces landed
in French North Africa, Novem
ber 7, 1942. I saw the under
ground engineering the "grape
vine" escapes of British and
American war prisoners, chiefly
aviators.
The underground began as
guerilla force whose chief role
was to take a steady toll of
German lives in revenge. Its
first killing was the midnight
stabbing of a German soldier in
the darkened exit of the Porte
Dauphine subway station. To
day it is virtually a corps of
sabotage engineers.
On D-day we can expect the
underground to aid materially
in disrupting German troop
movements and defenses. Its
role will be to cut communica
tions, dynamite bridges and via
ducts, open dams, destroy pow
er l nes and railroads; to am
brj the enemy, report his con
e ."lU-ations and movements, spy
on his secret preparations. Its
execution squads will corner
and kill a long list of black
listed traitors to France.
Army Men In It
The underground in France
is today composed of many of
ficers and men of the disband
ed Franch army, patriots from
all walks of life, all creeds, all
political beliefs, whose only
crime was to hate Germany.
For tills their names were writ
ten on the Gestapo blacklists.
There are also thousands of
boys in the green uniforms of
youth labor camps who have
chosen to join the underground
rather than go to Germany as
conscripts under the Laval
Sauckel accord. In that pact,
Laval agreed to deliver 260,000
French conscripts out of the
400,000 who come of age every
year.
There have been five main
centers of underground resist
anceParis, Lyons, Toulouse,
Grenoble and Valenciennes. In
one county along the French
Savoy borders of Italy, high in
the Alps, the underground has
held Inviolate sector which
the Vichy police never have
been able to penetrate even
with the aid of German armies.
Fed By Friends
Ihls underground is fed by
friendly French or feeds itself
by raiding isolated farms and
villages. - Planes flying over
from London deliver arms and
explosives, printing material
and other supplies. Coded mes
sages, broadcast nightly, keep
the underground informed of
these flights.
At year end, Laval published.
