Hoosier Vagabond

WASHINGTON, April 10—A fellow certainly is asked a hodful of questions on his first few days back {from England. I don't mind answering questions at

all; in fact I somewhat enjoy a bit of detailed dissection of the war among a few private friends. But

a people could put me in a much a } better light if they'd confine themhh selves to small, earthly questions. 9 When somebody puts a singleaN barreled, straightforward query 2 Ww such as “Were you scared?” then x. the answer is easy and obvious: $ a ph “N-n-no, of c-c-course not. Whwhy?” But when they ask what Hitler will do when the Turks come in if Russia starts to march after Salonika falls and Germany runs out of oil, well hell I don't know the answer and probably Hitler doesn’t either. It seems to me that I know less about the strategic pattern of the war, after being over there, than people at home who have read thoroughly and digestively. And probably there is reason for that, Readers in America have been able to visualize two sides, whereas we in England would admit only one side—our own, I know that while I was there, no slightest doubt of the eventual outcome ever occurred to me, It was only after I got away, and looked back upon Europe, that I suddenly realized the other side was also strong and smart and determined. nn . . . yo. yo. Thinks Britain Will Win But even with that shock, and its consequent swing of the pendulum to dejection, I still think Britain will win. Looking past all the details and the horrors, clear back to the fundamentals, the war seems to me simply a struggle between characters—the mass national characters of two great peoples—and I believe that British character is the mightier of the two, because it is the finer, My convictions about the war are deep; I deny that anybody's are deeper, I am whole-hog for England. I think it would be an ecliptic catastrophe If Germany were to rule the world. Yet I can't get mad and argue with people about the war. Somehow my emotions about it are not passionate. I disagree thoroughly with Lindbergh, but it burns me up to hear the loose tongues label him a Fifth Columnist, The breast-beatings make me ill. Right this minute, the English are calmer about the war than we are over here. That's one reason I think they will win. They are not marching upon a passion They are marching upon the coldest, solidest determination not to lose that you have ever seen in your life I shall always remember the night war was de-

clared. That Girl and I were in Portland, Ore. and we sat up all night and talked about it. We tried to talk about it reasonably and sanely, tried to see what caused it, what conditions and forces brought it on, what traits in two peoples could produce a second World War within 25 years. And we decided that night that if we were Germany, we would have worked and built for this war too. As the old saying goes, “You can't blame a guy for trying.” But we also decided that it would be unthinkable for Germany to win. And we decided, that very first night of the war, that it was as much America's war as England's—that our danger, though not so immediate and of a different kind, was fully as great. War is hideous and I am no warmonger, but if all America had felt as I felt, we would have declared war against Germany on Sept. 3, 1939. And I don't hate Germans either,

The Women Can Take It

That's the way I felt almost two years ago, when I knew nothing about it from personal experience. And today, after having been there, I feel exactly the same. Nobody who has been there can be emotionless about the war, but emotion has not shaped my conclusions. If there must be war, then I think it should be total and ruthless. War in itself is so unearthly that to invest it with regulations and codes of conduct is to sanctify a monster, If there is to be war, I think it should go all the way out, and then on a little farther. I don’t think people should fight in the first place, but if they must, then I think the war that is quick and deadly and without pretense of honor is the best war. That's the reason I can't travel with the pious who declaim against the “murder” of women and children by bombing. If a country once goes to war, then I think its women are as worthy of dying for it as its men. The women of England aren't squealing. In all those months over there I never once heard a woman express our popular theory that battlefield death is “war” while city bombing of women is “murder.” The women of England are absolutely wonderful. They can stand up to bombing better than men. I've thought over that remark a long time, and I make it deliberately. I sensed it when I first went to England, so I studied and watched closely to make sure I was right. And I was right. If the manhood of England can take it—then the womanhood of England can take it double. If we go into this war we don't need do it in a frenzy of honorable outrage on behalf of the women who are hombed—we need do it for the sole, simple, reason that we consider the world better off with us and England running it than anybody else,

Sounding Off

YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAVE it to us to give you the very latest scientific phenomena. Like the explosion yesterday. A minor blast occurred out at the National Hosiery Mills yesterday in the boiler room. Nobody was hurt, but the thing made a big, loud bang in the vicinity of the mills, rattling a few dishes. Two miles away, in the area of 18th and Pennsylvania. the noise was just as loud. It was unnoticed in the area between the two points. We went into immediate profound consultation with J. H. Armington. the weather man, and it is our combined judgement that (1) the sound waves were emitted from the building in such a way as to strike the earth at a distance from the plant; and or (2) that the sound ricocheted off a low-hanging cloud to make an echo, See?

BEYOND THE ITALIAN FRONTIER. — “Do you know about Roosevelt’s new note to Athens?” one Italian asked another. “He has told the Greeks that America cannot recognize the conquest of Italy by force.” This is typical of half a dozen stories in Rome and every Italian tells you that a French wit in the Alps puts up a sign reading, “Greeks stop here. This is the French frontier.”

Mussolini's invasion-in-reverse would be the most ludicrous story in modern history if it had not caused so many thousands of deaths, so much destruction and human misery. The inside story is funnier than Wodehouse and more melodramatic than Oppenheim. It is a gangster story of bribing and double-crossing, Mussolini bribed a half dozen Greek generals to betray their country. They went to (the late dictator Gen. John) Metaxas, and he—the wiliest Greek of them all—said, “Keep the money, be true to your country and keep me informed.” They did exactly that and Mussolini, expecting to conquer Greece in 48 hours, has been beaten instead.

Trumped Up Excuse

THREE WEEKS before Mussolini’'s “unexpected” ultimatum and his precipitate invasion, your correspondent and at least two embassies in Rome knew the exact day and hour of the invasion. I sent four cables setting the zero hour as precisely as I could without risking expulsion. The Italian excuse that the Greeks were providing submarine and air bases for the British was as bald a lie as the trumped-up story some months before of the murder of Daut Hodgia, a bandit described by the Italians as an Albanian patriot. Hodgia had been killed in a drunken brawl two months before the “incident.” Mussolini decided that Greece ought to be his swag after Hitler double-crossed him on the French loot. Mussolini jumped on the back of France, only to be thrown off with bad bruises, because he wanted Savoy, Tunisia, Corsica, Nice and French Somaliland. But Hitler decided not to give them to Mussclini. Hitler wanted the French colonies and the French Navy for use against the British and he feared that if Mussolini were allowed to despoil France prematurely the navy and the colonies might go to Gen. Charles de Gaulle, head of the Free France movement. Smarting under Hitler's decision. Mussolini looked about for a quick pushover, to which Hitler might agree. Mussolini had always wanted Jugoslavia but he knew that the Serbs would fight him and, besides, Hitler wanted to drain all the livestock and food out of Jugoslavia before attacking there. Mussolini asked Hitler about Greece and Hitler said, “Okay, but later. You've got to wait until much later in the game.”

MUSSOLINI DECIDED to cross Hitler. He called in Ciano and Ettore Muti, who had engineered

the coup in Albania, and asked them to repeat the performance in Greece, Muti is a 6-foot-2 roughneck who looks like a professional football player. He has the courage of a lion and the brain and education of a 10-year-old child. Ciano idolized him and told me once in Muti's presence that his friend was “the perfect Fascist” and the most trustworthy lieutenant he had ever found. Ciano made him secretary of the Fascist Party but had to remove him later ‘because, with no administrative ability and only a casual knowledge of reading and writing poor Muti got to chastising inefficient Fascist bosses hy beatmg them up with his bare fists. Ciano also took: Muti to the country club to show him off to his girls and a few foreigners with the kind of obvious pride a man takes in a newly acquired bird dog or mastiff. That ultimately destroyed their friendship. Muti fell in love with one of the girls to whom Ciano introduced him and later when Ciano took the girl away from him simple, forthright Muti did not understand. Four weeks ago on the airport at Bari, where both are pilots, Muti soaked Ciano and Ciano soaked back. A man who saw the fight told me it was a thriller. Muti won

A 48-Hour Job?

AT THE TIME Mussolini ordered them to engineer the conquest of Greece, Ciano and Muti were ctill friends. They went to work with a will. Ciano began to grind out the press campaign. Muti arranged the Daut Hodgia incident. They dispatched agents to Greece and organized the bombing force. They planned to repeat the Albanian performance verbatim. Ciano gave the Greeks private intimations that he wanted only Salonika and a few bases and would treat the country well if it merely offered a nominal show of resistance. The invasion was to be a fifth column operation based on treachery by key Greek generals, exploited by methodical bombing which would destroy communications and paralyze Greek resistance. Ciano and Muti promised Mussolini a 48-hour job. Mussolini was delighted. He decided to confront Hitler with a fait accompli and there he set the date of the invasion for the early morning of the day. three weeks later, when Hitler was to meet him in Flerence. In that moment Mussolini's pcesition as an AXis partner was strong enough to permit an independent action. He had the only Axis navy because

then there had been no Taranto. He was winning in Africa for then there had been no Libya, and his air force was going to give “Pal” Hitler a help on the channel.

It's Now History

WHAT HAPPENED afterwards is now history, as heroic and thrilling as Thermopylae. The Greeks fought. The British

rushed in prompt and effective help. Militarily, the operation was described to me by one of the highest officers in Italy. Listen to him: “Militarily, the invasion was impossible,” he said.” “We had seven divisions in Albania. Two of them were necessary to hold the Alhanian population from going into revolt. Two others were in reserve. That left us ‘with three divisions with which to undertake an offensive. Against us the Greeks disposed of 15 divisions. We might have been able to undertake an offensive had those figures been reversed. “The Greeks had good staff work and good luck. They got their divisions into position. Better still, knowing that we meant to drive for Salonika they massed their forces into the region of the Kostanza frontier. When impossible weather conditions bogged

us down in Epirus our position was strategically untenable. The Air Force failed to prevent Greek concentrations. The Navy failed to land below Corfu. It was not a military operation. It was a political adventure. No officer in the Italian or any other army would have approved such a military offensive.”

Badoglio the Goat

DESPITE THIS explanation, which is sound, Marshal Pietro Badoglio as chief of staff came out badly. Why did he not veto the operation, offering his resig< nation if necessary? Actually, Mussolini outmaneuvered him, After the fiasco, Badoglio told the King that he meant to resign in protest. The King dissuaded him and sent him to Mussolini. The dictator rose when Badoglio entered his office and said, “Your resignation has been accepted and is effective immediately.” The poor, bewildered old general was thus made the butt of the misadventure. Even his fellow officers criticized him for running out when the Italians were beaten, and Mussolini informed the public that Badoglio had approved the operation and was responsible for the tragedy—responsible with Ciano, It is typical of the mood of Italians today that those who know of the bribery and its fail=ure think that the money never reached the Greeks, that it was pocketed by grafting Fascist agents. I don’t believe this. I believe the money did reach the Greeks, that Ciano learned shortly before the invasion date that he had been double-crossed, but that Mussolini would not abandon his plan. One of Ciano’s most trusted agents came back from Athens four days before the invasion date. He said that the Greeks would fight and that the Italian agents had been double-crossed. He said that he reported this to Ciano.

Brutal Aggression

WHEREVER the responsibility lies, it is one of the most brutal and cynical aggressions in history and the long-suffering people of Italy have paid for it as dearly as the Greeks. My dearest Italian friend, the last of a thousandvear line of Roman princes, died in Albania. A fellow officer told me that he bled to death from his wounds—an unnecessary death had there heen any organized medical service with the Italian army. I have another Italian friend whose hands have been amputated. No gloves were issued to an army sent to fight in snow filled mountain passes. I have another Italian friend who is probably crippled for life, There were no bandages in the military hospital even when he was brought across the Adriatic to the Italian mainland. Multiply these cases by several thousand, add to it the heroism of soldiers and officers who out of shame for their country went on fighting and dying and are doing that even today when they know how cynically and brutally they were betrayed. That is real heroism—to die without faith in order to regain your self-respect as an Italian. Mussolini has said he will break the back of the Greeks no matter how long it takes, that the Axis hordes will make Greece a second Finland. That may be so, but the Greeks have broken his back, too. More than princes and peasants lie dead in the mountain passes of Albania. Fascism died there, too. NEXT—Mussolini, the megalo= maniac.

is a Republican and is laying it on a little strong. perhaps, but in one sense he is not so far from what many here are saving Military men here may be oversimplifying their analysis but they are inclined to see this Balkan struggle as decisive in one sense— in that it will determine whether a land offensive can be undertaken against Germany If the Germans succeed in their campaign against Greece and Jugoslavia, they will have closed out the last remaining practical base from which a land army could move against Germany. The idea of any armyv of occupation chiseling out a foothold in France or the Low Countries seems out of the question. The only possibility that military men see is to push up through the Balkans. If the Greeks and Jugoslavs hold, then this becomes a possibility,

The Coming Question

The Mediterranean is clear now, or virtually so, for a supply route. We are considering taking the Red Sea out of the combat zone in order to establish a long route over which American supplies could be shipped direct in American bottoms to within striking distance of the Balkan front. There does remain the large question of England surviving against the German shipping war If there should be an A, E.
