AS APPLIED TO ITALY The Italians’ progenitors, the Romans, were the greatest warriors of them all for | five centuries or so preceding and sueceed- the Christian era. Have the Italians degen erated into being among the werst soldiers i in the world? i The general opinion, at least in the United.States, is that they have, and to s6' great an extent they have come to be a . joke. But, in judging the Italians, we should bear in mind that their hearts are not in | this war, have not been in it since it began. They and the Germans are poles apart, and | they don’t like or trust the Germans and the Germans don’t like or trust them. They are | fighting or trying to fight, but in fighting | effectively one must be actuated by righi- | eous indignation, regardless of whether it is based on a worthy cause or on some fana- | tical conviction. i The Germans believe they are super- men in the sense that Ayrans are the super- | ior race; the Japs*consider their emperor | lig God-given, and that they are the chosen | race to rule the world. Under the spur of | those beliefs, associated with political | standards considered by the proponents it; each case to be the best in the world, the Germans and the Japs fight valiantly and ave forgetful of all humanitarian principles | while they fight. But the Italians, despite the Fascist movement forced on them, are a peace-lov- ing, hard-working people, concerned far more in their fields and vineyards than they | are in world politics. Mussolini, their leader, stayed out of the war till, licking his chops, | he theught he could entér it safely as a, Italy’s losing her entire African empire, and today the Italians, in placing their | downfall on Mussolini, are a sullen, bitter people, who probably will, when the time | is opportune, rid themselves of their leader and tear to pieces the government he has established. Neither a man nor a nation can fight his or its best if he or it has no object in fight- ing. The United States, where there are millions of Italians or Americans of Italian descent, is the most popular foreign coun- try in the world to the Italians at home. So | why should they fight against Americans, whom they like, and fight for the Germans, | THANKING THE PRESS 21 jackal; But the hit-back has _ resulted in | | resident (iN THE CIRCUIT ELE | TO: Herbert B.
