Criticism of A Fascist Regimei ls outspoken

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE. Jim- 1_icP)-Life in Italy is com- pi sly demorallzed, criticism of solini_ ClfillO and the Fascist w m.- ls "surprisingly outspoken , and the mz-lority of P601119 l-hlnk only of peace. according to travel- lers reaching here from Italy.

A businessman who spent a week at li/ifan said the atmosphere was m depressing lie was Elild l0 “live the (‘Lllllllv and added that he had met, (ow people who did not hate the Germans. some admired their efficiency and Dilly boys under 20 argued in Germany's favor.

"The majority of people have only one tl10i1§llt--—l’i0i’l(.‘€ must crme soon to put an end t0 their

l "gy rind disorganization.” he srii . “They have no idea how it will come but they cannot imagine the war lasting into another year and throuzli another winter.

"Their conversation was mostly about focd~ivlirit they could not cot, whore things could be. obtained in the black market-and they seemed incapable of grasping the war in its wider aspects."

A well-known publisher, echoing similar views, said there was “bad blood" between Italian and Ger- man servicemen. German and 1t- alian officers did not exchange sa- lutes, but passed as lf they had not seen each other. Civilian Ger- mans bought up everything they could lay hands on before return- ing to the Reich.

In Rome, he continued, there was a German commission attach-

ed to every Italian commission in

the Fascist administration. and the Italian people generally "resented" dispatch of Italian; to the Russian front.

"Fathers and wives could not understand Whv their sons and husbands should have to fight in Russia," ho declared. “It was something completely incomprehen- sible to them_ bearing no relation to any views they had ever held. The ant-i-Bolshevik "crusade" idea was simply laughed at.

"Although the atmosphere in Italy was highly charged there were no signs of any organized op- position. Most. people were afraid that Imy move would mean a. con- solidation of the German occupa- Zion."

Another traveller said there was "surprisingly outspoken" crlticiun of Mussolini and added that Mus- solini‘; daughter, wife of Count Citmo, Italian Foreign Minister, was very unpopular.

“Perhaps the milder-it term of abuse I heard appued to the Duce." he said. "was ‘quel pagllaccol’ (that buffoonl.

Increased marriage Rate described As ‘war disease’

NEW YORK. Dcc. Ill -(CPi _ Marriage is a “war tiisease,“ said Di‘. S. l-l. Prince. professor of welc- lﬂgy at University of King's col. lege, Halifax, in a paper on "the Canadian family in wartime." He read the Iigiper at the national con- ference of faintly relations, in ser- sion here.

_Phen0menal increase of the mar- riage rate in Canada, where 34.880 more marriages occurred in i940 than in the last pre-wai‘ year, was due in his opinion less to prevailing war spirit than to economic ease v/ith winch unions could be. effect- ed when relieved of the obligation to establish s. home. However. in the first two years after the last war divorces increased 600 per cent over the two years preceding it.

Another effect of war conditions was “the arrest. of fl -.-. normal ex- llﬂilsimi of families as thousands of potential fathers are taken out of circulation due to enlistment while the ranks of war industries are manned by an almost equal num- ber of Canadian women."

Dr. Prince cited the "enhanced status of woman" as perhaps the greatest single gain the Canadian family would receive frmn the war.

"Still inferior by comparison with her deters in Great Britain and the United States, her present status is greater than at. any time since the last war. and as a result of her magnificent contribution to the war effort, the whole level of the sex in Canadian society will be lifted and stabilized on a higher plare."

War Effect

Among war effects on family life he listed as mcst serious "the dys- genie effects due to letlial selection of men of category A. the disturb- ance of the balance of the sexes and the decimation of the middle class which is the mainstay of ci- vilizailon.

"Other family pathologies due to war conditions are the increase of infantile mortality. the depression of living standards and the growth of adolescent delinquency -the lat- ter attributed in large measure to the failure of home discipline and the wave of unsett-lement in youth."

Canada had miirshalled Many services calculated to reduce fam- ily demnrallzation to a. minimum and to safeguard the health and welfare of Canadian homes.

Peta n asked Germany to bear in mind that Vichy is the only great power remainin outside a conflict which has pu "the lanet flames," but added that ichy “re- cognizes her duty toward Europe."

The Marshal described his own status as "partial exile"—presumablv a reference to the divided status of France. occu ied and unoccupied.

He expressed hope for relaxation of Germany's armistice terms "so that France's dignity can be re- stored."

He said. that. the new French con- stitution soon would be ready but that it could only be promulgated from Paris "after liberation cf the occupied territory.”

"Frenchmenl....We must do our best to regain our di ity," Petain said. "United. we shal recover our country."

‘llams’ prove Valuable asset In wartime

NlEW YORK. Jan. l—(CP)-—'I‘he United States is cashing in on its past generosity to radio amateurs.

As direct result of having allow- ed the "hams" to build nnd operate radio stations, the government has saved tremendous cash outlays and

recious time to train radio men or military and civilian defence activities.

During peace-time amateurs have instructed themselves in building. maintaining and operat- ing radio art: aratus. Mostly un- der the cusp ces of the American Radio Relay League wthose mem- bership comprises almost all of the 60.000 hams in the country. amateurs subdivided themselves into various newtorks-wnny. nav- al. traffic (‘handling of messages). etc. ‘This saves the government many school-hours in "polishinll- of!" instruction to radicmen in the army. navy and defence fields. ARRL. estimates roughly that mﬂpNXllnB-lely 10.000 amateurs are enlLsicd in the United States armed services, almost double the number of hams Operating for the United States in the First Great. War. Twenty four ears ago the :matcurs were make the War rtmerit lo supply a1 men avail- ab e, and manned almost all radio ts. sdioob and technical posi-

Broader field of military activ- ity in this war requires vast civil- ian defence organization. and the A.R.R.L, sees a definite position (or its hams in communications.
