The pris- oners in question were taken in action against our troops. They were not fighting*with enthusiasm at that time, but still any one of them may have fired a shot that took an American life. Soldiers accept this possibility as a matter of course—war is | like that. Many civilians, including those who lost relatives or friends in the North African battles, hold greater reservations. Yet now all Italians who ac- | knowledge the Bonomi Government, including pre- | sumably these prisoners, are our “co-beliggerents” and many of them are voluntarily doing work which is so recognized in Washington and London.

Common sense will certainly dictate that we do not treat them better than we do our own soldiers. An excess of sentimentalism in their case is as bad as an excess of severity. They can hardly expect the honors accorded to veterans who fought on our side from the beginning. But if they are willing to work for us we ought to permit them to do so, and if they have honestly adjured Fascism we should be delighted. | Since they didn’t enter on the quota they will have to go back to Italy after the w If we send them home in a mood to become missionaries for a demo- cratic Italy we will be doing ourselves as well as them a good turn.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Transit- fon from wartime to peacetime in- dustry should be less difficult than| has been predicted by many busi- ness leaders. There is a sign pre- saging absorption of unemployed through the Summer. Agriculture will benefit through work by stu- |dents and returning soldiers. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Although |there will be mueh irresponsible |seeking of amusement in coming weeks, as escape from the contem- plation of war tragedies, astrologers {forecast a turning to high ideals !in the patterning of life in the |postwar world.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: |As Summer ends there will be {much to compensate for the ter- rible fighting and great sacrifices of the United Nations' forces to lcomplete defeat of the Nazis Tredacherous peace overtures will be received. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ac- tivity and good luck. The stars smile upon courtship and marriage.
