Signs Warn Italians
Against Discussing
World Affairs
Nation Seen on Level
About Her Neutrality
In Present War
(Eleventh of a Series.)
By WILLIAM L. WHITE.
ROME. Italy (By Airmail).—In
my favorite bar just around the
corner they have outside a small
kiosk where you can buy English
and American papers. Just inside,
stuck into the modernistic paneling
by a thumbtack, is a sign which
translates roughly as follows: “The
National Fascist Party suggests that
there be no public discussions or
predictions of grand strategy or
world affairs.”
A similar sign is in all the best
bars in Rome, where the best
dressed Fascists bring their best
girls, and it is also in all the smaller
outlying second-best bars, where the
better-dressed Fascists bring the
girls of their best friends.
The Italians, whether members of
the party or not, do not regard
this sign as an unbearable affront
to their liberty of speech. They
think it is a very sound idea. They
think the present is no time for anv
Italian to be shooting his mouth off
for or against either side in the
present war.
Neutrality on LeveL
The principal discovery I have
made since I came to this country
is that Italian neutrality is com
pletely on the level—a good deai
more so, in fact, than is American
neutrality. The Gallup poll shows
that many Americans would favor
going to war if our entry would save
the democracies from total anni
hilating defeat.
duo louiy wuuiu nui go mj war to
save anybody else from anything—
quite the contrary. Italy will never
fight unless it would gain some
thing very definite and tangible for
Italy, and in the present stage of
this war the Italians can’t predict
what that could possibly be.
She has interests in the Balkans
and might have to go in if war
moved into that part of the world
But she doesn't think it will, be
cause Russia and Germany are
watching each other’s moves in that
region too closely, and for this rea
son probably no one will move in
the Balkans at all.
In the last war she wanted some
thing, specifically a piece of the
Austran Alps to complete her fron
tier and a slice of the Adriatic for
good measure. She has both of
these now. If the democracies
started to go to pieces, of course
Italy would come in at the end to
grab off a piece of the African coast.
But she doesn't think that they will
Long Deadlock Seen.
The average Italian who turns up
in the better bars at around 5
o’clock with his own or another
Italian's girl for cocktails thinks this
war will be a fairly long-drawn-out
deadlock, with presently a nego
tiated peace, ending in a mild Allied
victory.
The industrial north of Italy
i which would have been the battle
| ground had Italy entered the war.
Is now busily making munitions.
The big Isotta-Fraschlni automo
bile plant was recently given a
large order for French airplane mo
tors.
So this is why the average Italian
does not view the placard forbid
ding him to predict Italy’s position
in world politics as an infringement
on his liberty of speech. Far from
it. He thinks the placard carries a
most realistic and sensible sugges
tion.
New Plan Seeks to End
Improper Jail Releases
A new system designed to pre
vent future improper releases of
prisoners from jail was announced
today by Government authorities as
the aftermath of the freeing of Rob
ert Smith, accused of a serious crim
inal offense Smith was released
after a nolle prosse was sent to the
Jail and he was reindicted for the
same offense, because of an error in
the first indictment.
United States Attorney David A.
Pine announced that with Assistant
United States Attorney John J.
Wilson he had held several confer
ences with Thomas M. Rives, super
intendent of the Jail, and his assist
ant, as well as with the criminal
clerk’s office *nd William Adkins,
clerk of the criminal courts, in an
effort to prevent a recurrence.
One of the problems is the ques
tion of identity in multiple indict
ments against the same man, offi
cials said.
“As a result of these conferences,'’
Mr. Pine said today, “we are unable
to assess responsibility against any
Individual or office as there appears
to be a joint responsibility, but be
lieve that additional checks and
safeguards will do much to prevent
a recurrence of incidents of this
character.”

The Better Way to
Correct Constipation
_ i
One way to treat constipation is
to endure it first and cure it
afterward. The other way is to
avoid having it by getting at its
cause. So why not save yourself
those dull headachy days, plus
the inevitable trips to the medi
cine chest, if you can do it by a
simple common-sense "ounce of
prevention”?
If your trouble, like that of
millions, is due to lack of "bulk”
in the diet, "the better way” is to
eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal has Just the "bulk” you
need. If you eat it every day-and
drink plenty of water-you can
not only get regular but keep
regular, day after day and month
after month! All-Bran is made
by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. Sold
