I The Ironic aspect of the current Anglo-Russo-Amencan Ideological clash in Italy is that the Mediterranean offensive which started l2 It is a commonly repeated assertion in many places today that the American people are "suckers" for a slogan. The assumption is that we follow the wishful trail pointed out by a fancy phrase and fail to note either the nature of the path or the direction toward which it leads us. Do we mistake the shadow for the substance when the article is clothed in a snappy saying? There are two such expressions that lead us to believe there is something in the accusation. Each of these slogans represents the thinking of diverse interests.

Usually they are the product of an aggrieved mind. You seldom hear them uttered together, but singly. They complement one another and are incomplete unless taken together. The one is: "An honest day's pay for a day's the other: "An honest day's work for a day's pay." The two should be joined together to read, "An honest day's work for an honest day's pay." And the words should mean what they say. We have heard employers bewail the lack of initiative and responsibility of When Freedom Comes "Hail Mary, full of grace," said forty little girls in their native tongue, and for the first time in four and a half years French was spoken In an Alsatian schoolroom.

For most of their school lives these young children have been starting their days by singing the "Horst Wes-sel" song and "Deutschland, Deutsch-land." In a thousand ways they have been told that they are German. Sister Elizabeth of the Congregation of Teaching Sisters did not tell them they were French. That was understood. She did not start her class with a nationalist song; she started it with a prayer. Children freed from Nazi domination will experience more than just a change of language.

As the would-be conquerors are driven from their stolen empire, children all over Europe will be led away from militarism and back to God. their workers. We have heard the same employers deny emphatically that any American workers are underpaid and that the need of advocating a living wage for every worker is nothing more than an academic question. We have even been assured by an eminent authority on social matters that there Is no such thing as poverty in this land, the contention being that the only cause of substandard living is shift-lessness and lack of provident planning on the part of those who linger on the border of pauperism. On the other hand, there is increasing evidence that the American of today who works for a living has lost something.

The old spirit of doing the job and doing it well, from a sense of self-respect and responsibility, is slipping. "Soldiering on the job" has become a sort of semi-respectable attitude of mind. The time-clock has cast its pall upon the countenances of the employes and subconsciously too many have become the victim of its hypnotism. "An honest day's pay for an honest day's work" holds good both ways. There are millions of workers in America who are still living in subhuman conditions because short-sighted employers fail to look upon them as equal human beings.

Machinery Is always accepted as part of the overhead. The limitations of the human worker are seldom granted that consideration. The right of a living, human wage for every employe is the first demand on the returns of industry. Let the employer who insists on an honest day's work first look in that direction when caustic criticism comes rushing into his distracted mind. There can be no wages, at least no adequate wages for all, unless the production of goods brings in an adequate return.

Let the complaining employe give that thought a serious moment when he is tempted to sound the slogan for better pay. Industry is a mutual operation of two classes of people. Both sides must play the game squarely if satisfactory advantages are to accrue to each. Those who believed In Washington's warning against Involvement In the Intrigues and vicissitudes of Old World politics and in the Monroe Doctrine's statement of a firm and manly national policy of comity with all nations but acceptance of injury or Insult from none werf once called isolationists, a term foreign to the naturt of a continental people. Th06e who said that Mr.

Roosevelt went beyond the bounds of any nation's ability when he promised freedom to the world; freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, were called appealers. Those who opposed regimentation at home were called enemies of democracy. Those who condemned reckless waste of the public funds were called reactipnarles. Well, we are in the war, winning victories purchased with the red coin of the blood of the brave. But where is the freedom from want? Where is the freedom from fear? Some measure of freedom of th press we have here and In some few of the world's nations.

Some freedom of religion we have here and In a tew such nations. How about isolation? We have alienated some if not mast of the nations of our Southern continent. The liberated countries of Europe which looked to us for all the freedoms, are beginning to regard us as political simpletons whose pledges are written in water. France has made a twenty-year treaty with Russia, whose empire might now be under the Swastika had it not been for American weapons and American munitions and food supplies. Britain has a similar treaty.

So have several small puppet government of countries we went to war to liberate. Even Japan, our enemy, has a treaty with Russia. Isolation? What isolation? And who, in reality, wer the isolationists? HITLER'S NEW SECRET WEAPON NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS LETTERS -TO THE EAGLE- By ERNEST LINDLEY Shifting of Ambassadors Marks Transition in Spain The appointment of Norman Armour to Madrid, to succeed Dr. Carlton J. H.

Hayes, marks formally the end of a phase of American policy in Spain. Simultaneously the British are recalling Lord Templewood, known formerly as Sir Samuel Hoare. Franco's days as ruler of Spain are considered numbered. His fall has long been foreseen in official the present trouble was a British rather than an American undertaking Topnoteh American army-navy strategists opposed it originally and events have borne out their criticism. Our military men warned that operations in Mussolini' former land would be extremely difficult and not worth the cost.

They agreed that our combined forces could expel the Germans from the major part of the country. But they pointed out that we could not drive them from the northern provinces if we were also to launch a key offensive in France a question then under discussion. They also maintained that Italy had relatively small strategic value. The principal gain would be seizure of airfields from which we could bomb more easily Romanian oil lands and Balkan territories occupied by the Nazis. But they insisted that this advantage would not compensate for the sacrifice which the Churchill plan would Impose.

The Prime Minister, according to information now available, advanced cogent arguments for attacking the "soft under-belly of Europe." He argued that recapture of Italy would clear the Mediterranean and facilitate shipment of supplies to Russia. His agents, he said, had Informed him that King Victor Emmanuel and Marshal Pietro Badogllo were ready to shift to our side as soon as we gave them military support. He concluded with the assertion that the conquest of all of Italy to the Alps would be an "easy proposition." F. D. R.

eventually agreed. The military campaign in Italy has bogged down so badly that it is regarded as an "inactive front" by our high command. Nevertheless, it has cost about 100,000 casualties, tied down experienced troops, ships and supplies and given us a major diplomatic headache. The controversy over control of the liberated area stems directly from our conquest of about two-thirds of Italy. As long as the people were straltjacketed by Nazis and Fascists, they yearned for the Four Freedoms.

But when we saved tiiem from their oppressors, an Internal row developed over how their new liberty should be channeled. That will be the case in every country our doughboys regain, and the United Nations might as well face the problem now. Our unhappy experience in Italy has taught our diplomats another lesfon. Upon our entry we promised that the suffering and starving population would enjoy the material benefits which freedom is supposed to bring food, clothing, repair of the destroyed homes, decent and orderly local government. For obvious reasons we have not been able to make good those pledges.

Our fighting men must have first call on our shipments of food, clothing, ammunition, artillery, planes, etc. But the answer, according to the new view in Washington, is that we should not have raised national hopes so high in the first instance. Uncle Sam cannot win the war against the Axis and stooge as an Uncle Boniface at the same time, whether the rewon country be Italy, France, Holland, Belgium or Greece. circles here as a corollary of Allied victory in Europe. He could be saved only by the positive support of one or more of the major allies.

And that, it now appears certain, he will not have. What kind of regime will succeed him is much less certain. Reports Pi 1.1 4 i 4 4 i' -NH it' Thinks Prohibitionists Should J5uy War Bonds To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Ray Tucker, in a recent issue of the Brooklyn Eagle, Informed his leaders of the fact that the Prohibitionists have raised a fund of $1,000,000 to put over a national dry law before the 11,000,000 men in the armed services are brought home and demobilized. Do these drys know that there is a drive on to sell war bonds? Do they consider themselves patriotic? Their tactics are far from helping to win the war quickly. Why don't they buy $1,000,000 worth of war bonds with the cash they have? Incidentally it might be a good Idea for all of us to let our Congressman know what we think about the whole thing.

Americans still object to being told what they can and can't do-especially by a few Individuals with $1,000,000. F. A. D. from Spain indicate that the first GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty LITTLE THINGS By EDGAR A.

From the Eagle 25 Years Ago Dec.

It, 1919 City liquor dealers faced a billion-dollar loss following the Supreme Court ruling upholding sources of support of unexpected strength in the Church, in the army, among industrialists and among the Spanish people generally. The most important factor of all probably was Spain's exhaustion and urgent need for reconstruction from the civil war. Dr. Hayes went to Madrid In the early Summer of 1942, about the time that the Anglo-American chiefs of staff decided to invade North Africa. His mission, like Hoare's, was to keep Spain out of the war, to cut down the benefits the enemy, was (retting from Spain, and to increase the benefits to the Allies.

He discharged this mission, which was delicate and exacting, with very great success. Contrary to widely published accusations, neither Hayes nor his colleagues In the State Department In charge of Spanish policy were pro-Franco or pro-Fascist. Indeed, Hayes, In his correspondence with the late Count Jordana, Spanish Foreign Minister, was blunt in explaining why the Franco regime deserved to be described as Fascist, and in attacking the anti-Russian orientation of Spanish policy. The period when military expediency guided our diplomacy in Spain is over. Spain now has to think about her position in the postwar world, whioh certainly will not amount to much if the Franco regime or anything like it remains in power.

transfer of power may be to a government representing the army, the church and moderate Republican elements. An overwhelming majority Of the Spanish people are reported to be against any further internal The British Government leans toward the restoration of a constitutional monarchy. The monarchy has much latent support in the Spanish Army which, however, may not look with favor on the establishment of genuine parliamentary government. The United States Is unlikely to intervene in internal Spanish affairs, but Washington observers doubt that any Spanish regime which savors of totalitarianism or dictatorship can expect to acquire prestige or speak effectively for Spain In the postwar world. The replacement of Dr.

Hayes and Lord Templewood implies no dissatisfaction with their work on the part of their respective governments. To the contrary, they did ably, even brilliantly, what they were supposed to do. When Templewood, as Sir Samuel, went to Spain in the late Spring of 1940, France was about to fall and the entry of Spain into the war as an active military partner of the Axis was widely regarded as a foregone conclusion. However, he British, with American help, found within Spain District Attorney Harry E.
