We would THa&e tyowi lose DWitt Mackenzie Marshal Badoglio Is attempting .some mighty risk juggling with the throne of Italy in his efforts to divert at one and the same time the attention of the Allies, who demand unconditional surrender forthwith, and the Germans, who are said to threaten reprisals if he throws up the sponge. The Italian public, wants peace. Fiery demonstrations In many sections of the country show tha the people are in that frame of mind which bodes no good for who stands between anyone them and the return to normal for which they so long have vearned. The fact that Badoglio is keeping thelid on by a vigorous display of force doesn't alter that fact. Now it was King Vittorio Emanuelft who willingly or otu. erwise, named Badoglio chief of state, with dictatorial powers, when Mussolini collapsed the other dy. That inevitably must link the little monarch in the minds of of his subjects with any fresh misfortune which may come to them of the marshal's failure 'to accept the Allied terms thus inviting bombing and invasion. BadoghO may see the writing on the and surrender, if he persists in playing the Hitlerian games, however, and so condemns his unfortunate country to the horrors of further war, he may precipitate an ultimate political change with far reaching consequences. Badoglio or no Badoglio, the Allies are going to take over Italy. Than In due course, when the fires of war have died away in - Europe, the -- people of- th country will be ' permitted to choose the form of government under which they wish to live so long as It isnt Fascist or Nazi. The United Nations have promised this to the Axis countries. Will the people want to retam a king who contributed to their suffering? Will they even want to keep the monarchy? Only time can answer those momentous questions. However, we are bound to note that during the recent days of crisis political elements In various parts of the country have been demonstrating in favor of other forms of government. Among the demonstrants are said to be Communists,, One would indeed be short of memory to forget that Mussolini pounded Fascism for the avow-epurpose of uprooting Bolshevism in Italj, and one would be short-sightenot to see that Communism has taken on strength from the great victories of the Red Army. Emanele fell in public esteem after .Mussolini came to power. Since the vvaFT however, he has seemed to come into hl3 own favor again. As the duce lost with a disillusioned populace.

Rayburn spoke at East Texas Teachers College where he received an honorary docter of laws degree. He cited what he called eight accomplished strides toward victory, in refutation of home-fron- t critics whom he described as "our saboteurs of the spirit, the Grumlins. (Rayburn said he compounded Gremlin and grumbler to get Grumlm.) We must and we will win this war, he declared, but we must do a man's part in the worlds great work of peace. In defense of price control efforts, Rayburn declared the cost of living has risen 26- per cent In the 44 'months since the war began in September, 1939, compared to 40 per cent during a like period in the first world war. Dr. Sam Whitley, president of the college, introduced Rayburn as a typicaL, example of a boy risen from humble circumstances to a position of leadership In a great nation.
