is not going to be responsible for
breaking off negotiations.
Mussolini shook up his cabinet
as the nazi ambassador to Rome
scurried home for a conference.
The new men in the Italian cabi
net are pictured as staunch neu
trality men, and of the type ready
to carry out strong action should
that policy fail. The move may
well widen the breach between
Berlin and Rome.
There was nothing really im
portant about the AP story from
London which credited British au
thorities with warning London
ladies to be careful about using
their gas masks as retainers for
such feminine necessities as lop
stick, compacts, and manicuring
polish.
But this little story, this tale
of women who were risking a gov
ernment fine for injury of a gov
ernment gas mask arM, far more
important, risking their lives for
the sake of their personal vanity,
serves to bring journalists and dip
lomats back down to reality.
Effects all.
War certainly is a real thing,
a thing which materially effects
the welfare of all the citizens of
the warring community. Yet, even
during wars, It is so frequently
the case that entire nations find
themselves shouting and believing
in such meaningless slogans as
"for the fatherland," or "liberty,
equality, fraternity," or the Amer
ican perversion, "Save the world
for democracy," when there is in
the minds of those same people
not the slightest conception of
what is actually being shouted.
The soldiers in the field lie dead,
forgotten by all these stupid peo
ple who are saying, believing, that
that which is important is some
vagary, some notion which per
haps originally possessed some
meaning, but is nov only a sham
ble of words. Reality is lost in a
myriad of ideas, of words, of ap
pealing but ambiguous, incongru
ous, slogans, of monotonous voices
repeating incoherent words.
Dies committee.
Witness in America, in time of
peace, the actions of the Dies com
mittee, condemning persons, not
because of what they as con
demned individuals believe or do,
but because they chance to be a
member of an organization which
is suspected of being allied with
some foreign word or slogan. No
tice Mr. Dies' widespread appeal
in investigating "anti-American"
activities, activities which are op
posed to "democracy."
How easily such lecturers as
Prince zu Loewcnstein roll "intel
lectual freedom" and '' democracy,
pure you know" off their glib
tongues, scarcely aware that de
mocracy will not be found in their
lecture rooms, but that it is out
on the streets driving trucks, re
moving garbage, in the factories
assembling cars, in the fields cul
tivating the soil. How easy it is
to talk about civilization and for
get the peasant, the laborer, the
underprivileged.
How easy for Germany and the
allies to talk about wars for jus
tice, and forget the men Y.;
dead on the battlefield, ana wives
and children who mourn their dead
husbands and fathers.
But even then, reality wins, for
to lecturers, diplomats, journalists,
it becomes increasii
