That time, of course, is when Rome falls, a prospect which is drawing near. Then the position of the House of Savoy must be reviewed in the light of postarmistice experience with the egregious head of that House, Victor Emmanuel. That experience has merely for- tified the opinion expressed in these columns after the Italian armistice. Victor Emmanuel should have had no place under the Allied wing. All that has hap- pened is that the King, from his Allied-protected capital in southern Italy, has organized a camarilla’ of Fascists and germanophile generals, while our forces have been struggling to uproot Fascism by force of arms. The contrast has damaged our prestige considerably. The arguments for rescuing the King and in- stalling him in southern Ttaly were British arguments. Mr. Churchiil is known to have an abiding respect for monarchy. He and the British sold us the notion that the King was still held in high regard by the Italian people. Then the hold of the Kind on the Italian navy, which has never hauled down its flag, “OTTER” TRAWLING Fishermen and cold storage men of Ketchikan are reported to be very much interested in developing in that area a new off-season branch of the fishing industry which is known as “otter” trawling, and according to reports from the First City, appearing in the Ketchikan Chronicle, there is a very good ct that another permanent industry will be establis Backing the scheme is Egil Peterson, business agent of the Otter Trawlers' Union of Seattle, the Ket- chikan Chamber of Commerce and the plan has the active support also of the CIO International Fisher- men and Allied Workers of America Although details are not too plentiful, the “otter” trawl seems to be a trawl which can be used by small boats and it picks up just about all there is that’s marketable and eatable from the bottom of the sea. This would include sable fish, sole, ling and rock cod and other such groungd fishes which may be taken at any time of the year. The fish would be put up in fillet form, frozen in .small packages and marketed like other fresh frozen food. This method of trawling, according to reports, is being used quite extensively in the Puget Sound area and is providing not only off-season employment for fishermen, but plenty of badly needed food items for the nation's bread basket Says Peterson: “Down below we fumbled around a lot in getting started. We really got going when we embarked on a policy of delivering only grade A fish and maintaining standards of production—en- forced by the fishermen, themselves . We worked to develop a market that will stand up under adversities, putting fish up for sale that anyone anywhere will buy again because they like it.” Then he got the went to Allied cause to a officers of each class was said to be unassailable. The former argument has now been proved to be false, though it never| had any validity. Victor Emmanuel long ago for- feited the Ttalian affection, while his rakehell of a son, Humbert, never enjoyed any. What remaining respect there was for Italy’s King has evaporated since the ! Allies put up the King’s shingle in the south. It is plain that Victor Emmanuel came by rights to his appellation as the father of Fascism in Europe. What has further been demonstrated is that his | entourage of military neo-fascists have been engaged | only in preying upon the people's misfortunes. This | is one reason why the Italians are loath to take up arms against the Germans. Fighting against the Ger- | mans in the present setup means fighting for the | King. And the people have no stomach for it. As for | the navy, it is very much open to doubt whether there | is much loyalty left on the King's ships for the House | of Savoy. Some of the admirals, to be sure, are pro- | royalist But they by no means include the lesser | officers, according to most returning travelers | would obey any estatblished government, as would ! the crews, who, in fact, are so disaffected by King | Victor Emmanuel’s retenttion of the throne that they are constantly kept aboard and denied shore leave. | Thus an experiment which has marred our relu- | tions with the Italians should be wound up before the Allied troops get to Rome, if only to repair our standing in Italy. The need for this is greater in the north. If the monarchy has lost all face with the | sentimentatl Neapolitans, it would not be tolerated in | northern Italy. In this section of Italy there is more political conscipusness than exists in the south. No forgiveness can be found north of Rome for the man who sold the Italians into bondage to their sawdust | Caesar. With an ounce of courage, the King could ! have saved them from Il Duce, for he refused to take ' advantage of Badoglio’s offer of a couple of battalions to quell his initial disturbance. Moreover, the north- erners are wroth over the King's ignominious flight from Rome, leaving the whole peninsula north of the Volturno to the Germans. It would enable the Italians to recover their self-respect to let this sorry King fend for himself when our troops march triumphantly | into the Eternal City. It would likewise return the ! position based squarely on principle. | the schools and to- soldiers a lift Linton is that devised by Estes of Wichita Falls,| | medical care for persons of average These | €0t peace.
