The Tragedy of Italy
OTHING is easier (or more despicable) , than to kick
man when he is down. It is easy, at long range, to
administer a verbal kicking to the Italian people, espec
ially now that their armies have taken such a literal kick-
' ing around in Albania, in Libya and in Ethiopia.
, It is unjust, however, to use these failures as a blanket
indictment of the Italian people, and especially to allow it
to reflect on Americans of Italian descent. It is the strut
ting, bombastic, truculent leadership that has fastened
itself on Italy that must bear the blame.
There is nothing wrong with Italians as such. Thev
did all right when they were kicking Radetzky out of
Milan a hundred years ago, and Garibaldi's redshirts
and Mazzim s legions were the admiration of the world
when they made their gallant but hopeless resistance to
the Austrian. .
DUT they were fighting to defend their country, fighting
la for freedom.; And that makes all the difference.
People who like to bring up Caporetto forget the
Piave and the fact that Italy, almost knocked out, rose
again and delivered a knockout blow against the Aus
trians, losing 300,000 dead and-a million wounded. But
again, Italian soldiers were throwing Austrian invaders
out of northern Italy. They were willing to fight and to
die forthat, and for the bright .dream of freedom prom
ised by their allies.
Since that time, Italian military exploits have not been

MEjfwho served with the squad-mates of Italian origin
in thflt. World. war know that such men were good
men; loyal companions and brave fighters. But they were
fighting for a free land, their land, to keep it'fre'e arid to
make their motherland free, not for a mad imperialist
dream of vanished empire. They will do it again, if need
be, and do it well. .
Bravery is not alone in fighting and dying when told.
It is also in choosing a cause worth dying for. For tyranny
the Italians are loath to die. '

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 13 (UP)
William Allen White, newspaper
editor and former chairman of
the committee to defend America
by aiding -the allies, said last

Bend more American destroyers

' "There is no question that
Willkie is dead right," White
said in a Lincoln day address to
a Tucson republican club.
"Democracy this republic
cannot survive -in a world four

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13
(UP) Chief Engineer Russell

in tnls week's storm without
vibration or fluttering.
The center of the bridge was
deflected four feet'10 inches out
of line at the height of the gale
Cone said, and moved back to
normal imperceptibly as the
winds slackened: It is built to
withstand safely a lateral move

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13
There was not much doubt,
in the mind of any government
authority here who knows Mos
cow, that Krivitsky was mur
dered. Nor has there existed
much hope the real nature of the
neat job could be exposed.
An acknowledged principle of
the Stalin regime holds no one
can be permitted to be an "ex"
secret agent. That regime con
siders it an essential, unbreak
able rule for the maintenance of
discipline to work the destruc
tion of anyone who leaves its se
cret service. If a single exception
were allowed to exist, the hope
would always be held out to
those in the toils that they too
might one day successfully es
cape. Murder to that end is not
considered a crime of hate, but
of necessity.
The standard Russian way of
handling such a matter as Krivit
sky in a country where murder
seldom goes unpunished, is to
force the victim to suicide. It
could have been done by threat
ening harm to Krivitsky's wife
and child. It could have been
accomplished by a Russian agent
confronting the recalcitrant in
his hotel room here with a gun
backed by a " persuasive argu
ment. Krivitsky could have
been made to understand that his
life was gone and that the only
way he could buy the safety of
his family was by self-destruction.
That some adaptation of this
orthodox formula was followed
in this instance is implied in
Krivitsky's notes ... "I want to
live so badly, but it is impos
sible ..." The repeated profes
sions of his love for his wife and
son preclude the possibility that
he could voluntarily hurt them
so grievously by suicide. This
affection was the dominant point
of his notes, stressed as if to tell
the story of his death in langu
age his pursuers could not inter
pret the way his wife could.
The only alternative is that
Krivitsky was insane, a possibil
ity which is unbelievable to any
who knew him.
If this sounds fantastic, so are
theRussians.

ACCIDENT"
Next on the death list is the
author of a book published a few
weeks ago. He exposed his ex
periences in counter-espionage
for both the nazis and Russians.
The name signed to the book is
a pseudonym, but his identity is
known to the Russians as well as
our authorities.
The last to fall before Krivit
sky in this country is recorded
on the public records as a fatal
automobile accident." No pub
licity attached to that case be
cause only those with access to
the deepest files of this govern
ment even know he was a former
Russian agent. He had written
no books.
CLOSED TOPIC
The shocking phase of the case
to government authorities was
the implied confirmation that the
OGPU or the Russian Military
Intelligence (Krivitsky was: in
the latter service) is working on
the job in this country. Not only
that, but it affected its purposes
so adroitly within a few blocks
of the capitol of the United
States.
None of these convincing cir
cumstantial conclusions will be
expressed openly by anyone con
nected with this government.
You must prove what you be
lieve, in diplomacy, and even so

THIS morning Dr. Paul Hanly
Furfey did a half day's work
before you or I were out of bed
By getting up at 2:30 in the
morning, he can work for some
four hours without a single in
terruption important for those
doing creative, original work.
His office is at the Catholic Uni
versity of America, in Washing
ton. Although city bred himself
he spent his boyhood in Cam
bridge, Mass. Dr. Furfey has
made basic research studies of
both farm and city boys. He is
an authority on those youths of
high school age who often cause
their parents considerable con
cern during that hectic time of
change from boyhood into man
hood. The changing voice is but one
of a large number of physical
and mental changes which mark
the commencement of manhood.
There are nearly 200 in all, Dr.
Furfey has found.
From his extensive research,
he has made a key by which the
"development age" of a boy can
be measured to find how near
he is to manhood, or how far
out of boyhood. He has found
that city boys become men at a
younger age than do country
Doys, and that in some races,
boys become men earlier than in
others. 1
Boys go through three distinct
development age periods from
ages 6 to 16. Dr. Furfey calls the
period from 8 to about 10 or 11
individualistic. During this
period, boys do not play group
games; tney prefer 4o play make-
believe, and enjoy playing with
girls.
The ages of about 9 to 11
mark the so-called gang age. The
Doys Begin to play team games,

a moment when this government
is pursuing greater purposes

ness to ine relentless liquidators

are interested In organizing and
belonging to some sort of club.
The third stage starts rather
suddenly, and, in most instances,
marks the real beginning of
manhood. The youth drops his
old companions abruptly and
takes on new friends, sometimes
to his parents' consternation.
He suddenly becomes asser
tive and rebels at being told
what to do or how to do it. Ho

girls, although this is not a
major characteristic.
The sudden assertiveness and
Independence often cause par
ents to worry because the son
seems to care llttlo for them or
the home. The change is per
fectly normal, however, and. as
Dr. Furfey has found, it is Just
one of the signs that the boy
has become a man.
Dr. Furfey has boyish en
thusiasm for amateur photog
raphy and art galleries. One of
his hobbles has been the study
of several rare languages, which
he has mastered well.
Recently he studied Chinese.
largely teaching it to himself. To
make each minute count, he
wrote out lists of the Chinese
forms and kept these beside his
telephone. While he was talking
over the telephone, he would
study these words. In somewhat
similar fashion, he has mastered
Russian and several ancient
Semitic languages.
Dr. Furfey believes that the
greatest need of the world today
is a quickening of the moral
life and a real brotherhood of
man, with no class distinctions
not even between city boys
and farm boys.

small and taken to the Snnkc
river valey. Just why this was
done is not known unless It was
for revenge.
When about 12 years old they
made their escape some way and
managed to get down to Port
land where they met up with
a man by tho name of Joe
Barnes, who lived below Salem.
He kept them until they were
grown. They wanted to get back
to their people so they left there
and come to Fall Creek which is
18 miles cast of Eugene. They
asked my grandfather if they
could work there for their board
That was in the early 60's. They
stayed there until about 1867
when Sally married Charles
Tufti of Fall Creek, an Indian
my aunt and uncle raised. They
had one little boy who at the
age of four could talk four lan
guages Klamath, Mollala, Jar-
Jon and English my grand
mother taught him. When about
five he fell on a sharp stick
which penetrated his throat and
killed him. His mother died
after that-and they both were
burled at Lost Valley In Lane
county.
Pete got a chance to go to
Pit river valley, California, with
Major Dunn to help him drive
his sheep down there. My grand
parents received several letters
from him and in one he told

they have busied themselves j

the school histories, which wero ;

was not unpatriotic to tell the i
truth, says the last World war '
was caused by cut throat trade I
practices and the league of ni- j
tlons at one time admitted of-1
flclnlly that Germany was no'
more to blame for the war than
the other nations Involved. What
did that make of the Versailles
treaty? The practice of a little
Christianity by English speaking
peoples would help a lot to ward
